<Besides his successful chess career, he is also famous for propagating and deepening chess>

"famous for propagating and deepening" sounds like overkill to me.

<In 1906, world champion Emanuel Lasker singled out Tarrasch and Geza Maroczy as worthy contenders for the world championship, and said "Dr. Tarrasch's strength or weakness, if one likes - is his pronounced amour propre.>

This is runny. I don't see the need for the hyphen. If it appears in the source, it is probably a misprint.

<Aha>!

Daniel has given me a way to make the corrections on a HTML notepad file, which I've just done and sent back to him.

<As Lasker achieved this score after winning the 4th game on August 31, the match continued in the Rathaus in Munich until September 30, when Lasker won the 16th game and the match (+8 -3 =5).>

Runny.

Luckily, <Daniel> has jury rigged a really fast way for me to pass him simple corrections such as spelling mistakes and punctuation.

He has already processed what I sent him-

Botvinnik - Bronstein World Championship Match (1951)

Except I see there's still a missing comma on note <20>.

So I just fixed that on my Notepad file and sent it along to him. Again.

If I get out of this without getting fired I'll be happy enough.

#########################

<Ohio> on the "twin note" links not going to the right note glitch that you found:

<Daniel> informed me that there is currently no way to fix that- if there are two notes in the same set=

"Rubble played the match of his life"<3,5>

Both numbers must hyperdrive to the same footnote.

This Note pad attachment conduit works so quickly- it seems instantaneous.

<Daniel> has already re-processed Botvinnik - Bronstein World Championship Match (1951) and added the missing comma to note <20>:

20. Botvinnik, Match for the World Championship- Botvinnik Bronstein Moscow 1951, p.102

<Ohio>

Yes.

Let's adopt the <3> <5> method.

I'm not sure if that will actually get separated into two distinct hyperlinks on the HTML page though.

I can ask Daniel, but I'll wait a bit.

I think I may have tried his patience a bit this evening.

In the meantime, let's list "mutliple notes" separately in our mirror drafts, as <Ohio> suggests- not like this <3,5>.

I think <Karpova> also wanted to separate multiple notes as well?

Anyways.

On this:

<Besides his successful chess career, he is also famous for propagating and deepening chess>

"famous for propagating and deepening" sounds like overkill to me.

"Besides his successful chess career, he is also a noted teacher of chess"

#################

Having read some of the opinions on the controversial <Dr.(?) Tarrasch>, I think that the "overkill" is justified.

He really has been given credit by both contemporaries and folks through the ensuing ages for a major role in the "history of chess style."

<<In 1906, world champion Emanuel Lasker singled out Tarrasch and Geza Maroczy as worthy contenders for the world championship, and said "Dr. Tarrasch's strength or weakness, if one likes - is his pronounced amour propre.>

This is runny. I don't see the need for the hyphen. If it appears in the source, it is probably a misprint.

In 1906, world champion Emanuel Lasker singled out Tarrasch and Geza Maroczy as worthy contenders for the world championship. He said "Dr. Tarrasch's strength or weakness, if one likes, is his pronounced amour propre.">

#####################

It is indeed in the source, and certainly not a misprint. That's how <Emanuel Lasker> liked to roll. He had a 19th century sensibility about his written English.

Given the problems and discussions we had previously about exactly what <Emanuel Lasker> meant by "amour propre," I recommend we sacrifice sentence flow for the most accurate reportage possible, and leave the original source passage as it was written:

Lasker:

<"Dr. Tarrasch's strength or weakness, if one likes-- is his pronounced <<<amour propre.>>> Without it he would have been a very mediocre chess player; gifted to an abnormal degree, he has become a giant. His <<<amour propre>>> is such that he must excel at something. Chess was, as it were, the easier medium for him to choose, and he is very fond of chess, therefore, but most particularly of his own chess. He has written two chess books and is writing a third one-- <<<all about himself, his victories, his opinions, his life and evolution.>>> He writes very wittily and entertainingly. But his <<<naive self-adoration>>> often influences his judgment of men and affairs and even chess positions.

There is no game on earth played by anybody but Dr. Tarrasch in which he would not point out a mistake or a faster road to victory or improvement of some kind. In his criticisms his personality must be predominant. This is the one great weakness of the doctor's critical judgment. In his personal life he is, like many Germans of the better classes, always 'correct.' To be 'correct' signifies, in Germany, the attitude of a an whose conduct, in the judgment of his neighbors, is always proper and befitting his station. In order to be 'correct,' one must be guided by the opinion of others; one must be without a moral or ethical code of one's own, and annex that of one's surroundings. In dress, in what he says and does in public, Dr. Tarrasch is always 'correct.'

It is the same in chess. He always tries to find the 'correct' move which if his understanding of it is analyzed, is the move which, in the opinion of the best judges, would satisfy all requirements. As he is very painstaking and earnest in his studies, his strength in chess is exceedingly great. But still one cannot help feeling that it is acquired, not born in him, for he follows the progress of ideas but never heads it.">

<<As Lasker achieved this score after winning the 4th game on August 31, the match continued in the Rathaus in Munich until September 30, when Lasker won the 16th game and the match (+8 -3 =5).>

Runny.

"Lasker achieved this score after winning the 4th game on August 31. The match continued in the Rathaus in Munich until September 30, when Lasker won the 16th game and the match (+8 -3 =5).">

Boomie: "famous for propagating and deepening" sounds like overkill to me.>

<propagating> and <deepening> are two totally different activities, aren't they?

the other suggestion looks fine.

Please change

I don't think that it fits in there.

<Jess>

<He had also won matches against <Curt von Bardeleben>, <Jacques Mieses>, <Henry Edward Bird>, <Joseph Henry Blackburne> and <Jackson Whipps Showalter>. >

No reason for the "had" there.

<In 1892, Havana offered $500 plus free passage to and from Cuba to sponsor a championship match. <Wilhelm Steinitz> replied he was too busy, and Lasker replied he was not yet ready to play for the title. >

<He was considered a future contender for the world championship, despite not having played matches against top masters such as <Siegbert Tarrasch>, <Mikhail Chigorin> or <Isador Gunsberg>.>

<Isidor> Gunsberg, Shirley? :)

Also, I note that the entire draft is sprinkled with The Terrible "Fancy" Quotation Marks of Word, which tend to turn into all sorts of gibberish at the drop of a hat. It would be a good idea to replace them with simple quotation marks when you get a chance.

<Annie>

How do I change them?

Good heavens you are like <Daniel> with this "coding" and "transferring of the HTML digits" and such.

Yesterday he just made up an idea on the spot about how I could do almost "instant corrections" of our promoted draft, and his idea worked.

Our drafts don't have many quotation marks I don't think.
