| Dec-06-23 | | stone free or die: Just a word about technique...
Notice in the above game I used the <null move> feature of SCID to skip an ambiguous move. I did that for <16...Q-QRsq>. I played the game out to 29...RxP when it became clear that the QR had to move to the e-file and not the d-file as I originally suspected. * * * <Null moves> can be useful in these games. * * * (Not playing over the first game, I didn't have the insight W2e had, and the superfluous moves were just nulled out without any effect -> throw aways) |

 | | jnpope: <Notice in the above game I used the <null move> feature of SCID to skip an ambiguous move. > Good tip.
As no "problems" have turned up with my versions of the three Lasker games, I have uploaded them to CG. Although my "note" tag seems to have been eaten by the ingestion machine (I'll get around to adding those back in tomorrow... just a note that the gamescores were slightly corrupt in the cited source). |

|
| Jan-08-24 | | stone free or die: The 2nd game, the one with 49 moves, is definitely from the match - source <Berliner Schachzeitung v2 N2 (1897-04-16) G-142 p25>. It's given as from 1897-03-25 with the match score standing at (+4 -2 =4). So the match was fast out of the gate, and slowed down to molasses pace thereafter... ? |
|
| Jan-08-24 | | stone free or die: According to <chess archeology>, BSZ v1-2 is here: https://books.google.com/books?id=T... Can the game be found there? If not, why not? |
|
Jan-08-24
| | jnpope: CA only had v1 (the Harvard volume). I see the CPL has added v2. Time to update the Library page. |
|
| Jan-08-24 | | stone free or die: Thanks <jn>. The side benefit of adding new entries to the Library makes the effort (almost?!) worthwhile. |
|
Jan-31-24
| | jnpope: I just finished integrating the new material from Philip Jurgens (four new chess and one checker game) into vol 2 of <Harry N. Pillsbury>. It still needs a once-over to double check for typos, but I think the 4th edition is "done". |
|
| Feb-01-24 | | WilhelmThe2nd: <j> Do you have a print source for the Hanover 1902 group photo in Vol. 2? (BTW, you have both Bier and Bleijkmans listed as number 20 in the caption. I presume, from the way the numbering goes, that Bleijkmans is supposed to be number 30.) |
|
Feb-02-24
| | jnpope: Bleijkmans should indeed be listed as 30. Thanks for catching that. Joost sent me that image and when I asked where he found it he informed me that he had lost track of which publication it came from, so I do not have a print source, but I would love to find it! |

| | jnpope: I've been trying to avoid that question for a while now! Along with "should there be pages for different versions of Ajeeb?" http://www.chessarch.com/market/Pop... Most people don't realize that there were different versions of Ajeeb. The original 1868 Hooper version (top left image) was much different in design than the 1885 Hooper version (top right image) that appeared in New York which was different than the 1898 version that I suspect was constructed by Haderer (lower left image) which was eventually given a make-over in 1934 by Frain (lower right image). Being that we have all the The Turk (Automaton) lumped together (post 1827 games were played by the "American Automaton Chess-Player" and not Kempelen's version) I figure we'd leave all the Ajeeb games lumped together. And getting back to Ching Chang; being that any chess/checker playing automaton was casually referred to as being an "Ajeeb" in the United States (i.e. Akimo, Ali, Cadi, Ching Chang, Hassen Pasha, Kado, etc.), it seems like the "Ajeeb" player is a catch-all for any of those automatons. But being that a different, or for that matter the same, operator could be operating any given automaton on any given day it really doesn't seem to me that identifying a particular make/model/operator version of an "Ajeeb" matters (as it's nearly an impossible task to sort out!). |

| May-05-24 | | VerySeriousExpert: Dear editor jnpope, thank you for your response to me:
World Championship Candidates (2024) ! Your information is right, but my question was about possible substitutions of very old grandmaster photographs which can disorientate people. I'm glad to see that recently ChessGames substituted one such photograph: Dommaraju Gukesh . Thus, now all people can see that he isn't 11 or 14 years old. I would like to indicate else several photographs which disorientate people now. I hope, the editor(-s), who substitute photos here, will contact me. Could you help me, please, to show this my text to them, if it isn't so difficult? |
|
May-06-24
| | jnpope: <VerySeriousExpert>, a number of editors hang out in the Biographer Bistro and could probably assist you with your effort in updating player photographs. |
|
| May-11-24 | | VerySeriousExpert: Thank you! |
