| Aug-20-11 | | crawfb5: <Jess> Another "wild ride" game at my place you might enjoy. I was showing it to Niels last year, so you might have seen it, but now I finally made some notes. It only took me nearly a year to sit down and make even those light notes. Even so, I still put "one notable example was <Miguel Najdorf>" when I meant to say <Bobby Fischer>. It's the first section, so I'd have to delete everything and repost the four sections. I'm almost sure I'm too lazy to do that for that particular error. |

| Aug-21-11 | | Benzol: <jess> I've been unable to find anything on "Vladimir Volosin". There's nothing in Gaige's Chess Personalia but I was wondering if the player listed here V Voloshin is him? It would appear that the player listed at the Sonas site would be a different person. Sorry that I've drawn a blank for you on this one.

| Aug-22-11 | | Kolyas: <twinlark>< Hi jess. You may be interested in this: Emanuel Lasker> That is a very interesting bio, but there are several non-title matches missing. In particular, all the matches against the US players in 1892 (Manhattan, Brooklyn and Franklin Chess Clubs); the Rice Gambit match that Lasker lost against Schlechter, and the Knight-odds match Lasker lost against Mrs. Showalter. I am sure that <keypusher> and <TheFocus> might have some suggestions to add, both being Lasker experts. But that is one of the finest bios I have seen. Hat's off to the person responsible for it. |

If so, they are mentioned in the <non-title matches> paragraph. <the Rice Gambit match that Lasker lost against Schlechter,> I understand that match was against Chigorin, and mention of it is also included in the bio in the same section as the above. Please advise if that's wrong. <and the Knight-odds match Lasker lost against Mrs. Showalter.> Not sure if this counts as a serious match worth mentioning as it against a very weak player (comparatively speaking!) and doesn't even have the status of an exhibition match. It could be included for completeness I guess. <I am sure that <keypusher> and <TheFocus> might have some suggestions to add, both being Lasker experts.> Excellent idea.
<But that is one of the finest bios I have seen. Hat's off to the person responsible for it.> Thanks. |

After I posted I realised that Blackburne was British, so a bit of research on the American tour shows that Lasker beat Hodges 2-1 in a short match, winning a fourth in a simul. He played a 2 game match with Shipley at the Franklin Chess Club, drawing 1-1 and maybe similar mini matches against another four players, D.M. Martinez, A.K. Robinson, G.C. Reichhelm, H.G. Voigt, but I don't know the results. I can't find any information about the Brooklyn match. I'll include these once all the relevant information is available, ie: who he played, where, when (1892 presumably), and what the match results were. |

| Aug-22-11 | | crawfb5: <twinlark> Lasker was in Philadelphia often, as he and Shipley were good friends and Shipley was in a position to secure funding for visits by Lasker and other masters. They played each other in various exhibition, offhand, and other type of games. I have Hilbert's bio of Shipley. He writes:
<Lasker was engaged by the Franklin Chess Club for two weeks in December 1892, when he played two set games against each of five players. Lasker faced Dion M. Martinez December 20 and 21, 1892, defeating the patriarch of Philadelphia chess in both games. The next day Lasker disposed of A. K. Robinson, and on the 23rd, Reichhelm. On December 24, 1892, the German's twenty-fourth birthday, Shipley sat down across the board from him.> Shipley offered a cash bonus if Lasker played a certain variation and won the game. Taking up the challenge, Lasker played the Two Knight's Defense and won in 38 moves. Lasker then beat Hermann Voigt on the 27th, and on the 28th played the second game against Shipley. As in the first game, Shipley offered a bonus if Lasker played a certain line (Vienna Gambit, Steinitz variation) and won. Shipley won with Black in 24 moves. Hilbert gives the scores for both games.
If there is anything else that might be of interest in the Shipley bio, let me know and I'll check. |

Match series against leading players of Manhattan CC (1892): v. Hanham, James +3-0=0
v. Simonson, Gustave +2-0=1
v. Baird, David +3-0=0
v. Isaacson, Charles +3-0=0
v. Hodges, Albert +2-1=0
v. Delmar, Eugene +2-0=1
v. Ryan, John +3-0=0
v. Baird, John +3-0=0
The match against Ryan actually only had two games finish; Ryan was unable to play the third due to a death in the family. The third game was played the following year. Match series against leading players of Brooklyn CC (1892): v. Blackmar, A.E. +2-0=0
v. DeVisser, William +2-0=0
v. Richardson, Phil +0-0=1
The second game in the match vs. Richardson was also canceled due a death in the family. Match series against leading players of Franklin CC (1892): v. Martinez, D. +2-0=0
v. Robinson, A.K. +2-0=0
v. Reichhelm, Gustave +2-0=0
v. Shipley, Walter Penn +1-1=0
v. Voight, Herman +2-0=0
In the Shipley match, Shipley chose the openings of the match for a small wager. Ponce’s name is Albert.
For the Lasker – Schlechter Rice Gambit Match 1908, won by Schlechter +3-0=2, see <Edward Winter> Chess Notes #6857. http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Lasker’s Rice Gambit Match against Tschigorin (1903) was won by Tschigorin by a score of +2-1=3. Mrs. Nellie Showalter, wife of Jackson Whipps Showalter, defeated Lasker 5-2 in a match receiving Knight odds (1893). She was quite arguably one of the strongest females in the U.S. It may not count, but Lasker also played a correspondence match with John McCutcheon to test McCutcheon's variation in the French (1904). Each man won one game. |

|
| Aug-22-11 | | twinlark: <Kolyas>, <crawfb5> I've updated the bio including almost all the information you provided. It provides an interesting insight into the lead up to Lasker's title match against Steinitz. Talk about battle hardening... |

| Aug-22-11 | | crawfb5: <twinlark> Shipley was friends with Steinitz as well, and was instrumental in arranging the details for the Philadelphia leg of the Lasker-Steinitz match. It only proved to be three games (games 9-11) because Lasker won all three. Montreal had apparently contributed more than New York or Philadelphia, and provision was made to make sure they got a decent number of games. |

| Aug-22-11 | | twinlark: <crawfb5> I've added that datum. |
|
| Aug-22-11 | | Kolyas: <twinlark> Lasker's success in these early matches gave him a lot of support in getting a match with Steinitz. In <Lasker and His Contemporaries>, John Hilbert did a nice coverage on these, but unfortunately, the journal folded before his part 2. It only went 5 issues. |
