| Apr-13-17 | | zanzibar: <jnpope> then there's lots of other gaps with non-viewables books aren't there? Anyways, I think you should mark off the non-public domain (or, rather, the non-viewable) links somehow - to save me a trip. Thanks. |

| | jnpope: Baltische Schachblätter, 1910 v12, appears to be the only other placeholder entry. |
|
| Apr-13-17 | | zanzibar: Right-o <jn> - will pipe up as the occasion merits. We both know it's tough keeping up with these moving targets. |
|
| May-29-17 | | zanzibar: Hi, I've sent you email with some additional articles for the O'Keefe Timeline. (Four days of Chicago Tribune coverage of <Vienna (1899)>). Hope you can get them in as updates.
Thanks |

 | | MissScarlett: Uploaded a couple of Pillsbury games from the same simul: Pillsbury vs J F Ramos, 1903 Pillsbury vs S Mlotkowski, 1903 Do you have the full date? |
|
Aug-31-18
| | jnpope: I do not have a date for that exhibition and those games. I do have the game that Daniel P. Sailer won in the same exhibition. I assume you got the Ramos and Mlotkowki games from the Washington Evening Star. I found all three games in the JGW collection scrapbook for the Philadelphia Times and North American chess columns (a sloppy collection containing a mix of columns not just from those two papers but also additional Philadelphia papers). The games came from the North American columns (distinct column style), but sadly the North American columns were undated making it rather difficult to even place a ballpark date on those games. The best I have is as you have... October 1903. Sorry for the tardiness of the reply. I was MIA for about a year and I'm slowly easing back into my chess duties... and before you ask, the Pillsbury books (two vols) are nearing completion, however, as late as yesterday (8/30) I recovered all the games from a Midwest blindfold simultaneous and was busy adding those to the 1899 section in vol 1 last night. When things like that fall into your lap it makes it difficult to halt the research and publish! |

| | jnpope: I'm not sure whom to thank for renewing my membership. I noticed it yesterday when I was checking info on Budapest 1896, in particular the claim that Tarrasch won a brilliancy prize for Popiel-Tarrasch. I have found ZERO evidence of such a prize being offered during the tournament. It doesn't show up in the Deutsche Schachzeitung, British Chess Magazine or any newspaper source I have access to for 1896. Nor could I find it being belatedly awarded in 1897. And it is not mentioned in Maroczy's book of the tournament But I digress.
I thank the individual who did that mystery renewal on my behalf. |

| | jnpope: <z>: Yes, I already have that game, but thanks for checking. |
|
| Sep-01-18 | | zanzibar: Seeing that <paderamo> only did the clipping 18 hours ago I thought I had a chance. Not much of one, but a chance nonetheless!
. |
|
| Sep-01-18 | | paderamo: I have not even updated my web page with that link. Newspapers.com occasionally re-scans their newspapers. In the process they delete anything that has been clipped. A number of links for the Nebraska State Journal do not work. Hundreds of links for the Chicago Daily Tribune need to be re-clipped. The Nebraska State Journal has had more years added in newspapers.com and I am in the process of clipping them. Maybe I can find more Pillsbury games. |
|
| Sep-01-18 | | paderamo: Also, great to have this forum back! |
|
| Sep-01-18 | | paderamo: The Pillsbury simul may have been on 24 October 1903. From the 23 October 1903 edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/233... |

| | jnpope: <paderamo>, negative on that. The games with Mlotkowski, et. al., are from an earlier exhibition: <Pillsbury opened the season at the Franklin with a nineteen board seance. He lost two—J. F. Ramos and D. P. Sailer. Drew one with Hugh Roberts. Won sixteen from J. W. Young, R. H. Ramsey, G. H. Stout, T. Zook, W. F. Reed, F. B. Driver, A. Goldberg, S. Mlotkowski, J. P. Fahey, S. W. Bampton, S. R. Jacob, W. K. Barclay, W. P. Thomas, S. T. Sharp, R. Lloyd, and J. H. Rhoads. Of the games the champion won the one with Stasch Mlotkowski was the best played, and it looked at one time as if the local matador had the better partie.<source: White Collection scrapbook of Philadelphia Times and North American, v5, W q789.4 P53, p127
(North American column undated)>> I suspect it was closer to the top of October based upon: <Pillsbury will go to Philadelphia in a few days and give his next exhibition at the Franklin Chess Club of that City.<source: Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1903.09.28, p8>> |

| | jnpope: I guess it's about time to make this public...
I have just released a Chess Archaeology treatment of the 1834 Bourdonnais-McDonnell matches, including what is probably the first original research into these matches in over 150 years (at least since 1864 as far as I know). http://www.chessarch.com/archive/18... |
|
| Sep-03-18 | | Boomie: <jnpope: I guess it's about time to make this public... I have just released a Chess Archaeology treatment of the 1834 Bourdonnais-McDonnell matches> That is super cool. A study of their matches is a must for any serious student. To jazz up the commentary, you might credit Morphy who wrote the analysis for the Ledger. |

 | | Tabanus: <jnpope> Amazing job. |
|
Sep-18-18
| | jnpope: <Tabanus>, thanks. Hopefully it will hold up to further scrutiny; I'd hate to think I overlooked something obvious! |
|
| Feb-24-19 | | zanzibar: RE: http://www.chessarch.com/archive/19... Looks like a gg, and I must say I'm impressed by the use of backtabs (triangles) for navigation. One small suggestion would be to move the source refs at the end of the articles to the top - it's helpful for orientation (like knowning data/journal/author before actually reading). Also, what about the PGN?
(It's a small obsession of mine, admittedly, but all-the-same...) |
|
Feb-25-19
| | jnpope: I decided 20 years ago to treat source information like citation information, so it appears below the sourced, or cited, text. The other option would have been to use footnote notation which I abhor (I really despise flipping back and forth in books and jumping up and down on Wiki pages). As for the PGN. The header data is not in a PGN friendly format. I don't use the ChessBase fields in a way that would be useful for imports if I just dumped the games to PGN (I put additional research terms and historical data in places it doesn't belong because ChessBase sucks for historical research), but I like many of the other CB features, so it was a trade-off. It might be easier to copy the games from the web page into a text editor and just add brackets around the given header data which I could do, I'm just not sure what additional fields are necessary to make CG importing happy... so I leave it to some dedicated CG contributing lunatic to do. :-) |
|
| Feb-28-19 | | zanzibar: Guess I'll just be a consumer in that case - I'm a lunatic in some departments, but after <DF> I think I've lost my <CG> lunatic credentials. Anyways you know where to find me.
Still, I hope you do find a <CG> lunatic - it's a pretty short job. . |

| | jnpope: Staunton vs NN, 1841 Staunton first gives this game as being played "Between St-n and one of the first Metropolitan Players" in 1841 (which is probably why this game is given as being played vs NN currently): https://books.google.com/books?id=I... But in subsequent years he identifies his opponent as being Popert in the Chess-Players Handbook, 1847: https://books.google.com/books?id=t... And again in the Chess-Player's Companion, 1849: https://books.google.com/books?id=_... It is also worth pointing out that Staunton states that "The games with Mr. Popert are selected from those of a Match won by the Author, then a young player, in 1840." (Chess-Player's Companion, 1849, p187). |
