| Sep-28-10 | | Atking: You did a remarquable work on Charousek <Jessica> - Beautifull as your avatar -. I guess you should put all the moves until the end (It seems you stopped at Kd6) in the game Charousek-Horiato Caro (Berlin Tournament) for a proper understanding. Really beautiful. <ughaibu: I dont understand the amount of praise Charousek gets, unless it's due to him dying relatively young. Looking at what he actually achieved, he wasn't that great.> If you can't appreciate the games at their real value (Many are subtle and quite complicated) I suggest to have a look on what strong players (among them Nigel Short) said about Charousek in the last <youtube> that Jessica has realized for us. |

| Sep-28-10 | | JredWarEagle20: Today was the first time I heard about Charousek (As is common for me for the players of the day because I am new to chess history)...But I was surprised he is not more well known (at least to the amateur world) being he defeated Lasker at a young age and his record looks good on paper(72% win from above). I guess he just never had the chance to prove himself against all the best of that generation. I wonder if he had lived a couple more years if we would be a household name to everybody |

| Sep-28-10 | | BobCrisp: <Nosnibor>, submit the game rather than post them here. |

| Sep-28-10 | | Nosnibor: <BobCrisp> Only became a member very recently.Please advise how to submit games not in the db. |
|
| Sep-28-10 | | BobCrisp: At the bottom right on the home page, you'll find this link: PGN Upload Utility Submitted games can take quite a time to appear on the site. AFAIK, these periodic updates usually occur every few weeks on a Sunday. I have 3-4 Capablanca simul games from 1919 outstanding. And plenty more to follow. Some Charousek games in time. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Going through the journal <Checkmate> (published in Ontario from 1901-1903, and recently available through Google Books), I found this statement in the January 1901 number: <"The MS collection of games played by the late Hungarian player Charousek contains over 400 games. The whole collection has been forwarded to L. Hoffer of London, who will analyse the games with the intention of publishing the collection in book form."> What happened to that manuscript? I no longer have a copy of Sergeant's collection of Charousek's games, but I remember it purported to be complete but contained considerably fewer than 400 games. In that issue, <Checkmate> also published three of Charousek's games from the manuscript collection. They're not in the CG database, but before submitting I'm going to present them here in hopes that somebody has more information about them. <Checkmate> indicated the name of the opponent, but neither date nor place. <Jacoby - Charousek> 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.0-0 Nf6 5.d3 d6 6.Nc3 Bg4 7.Ne2 Bxf3 8.gxf3 Qd7 9.Be3 Qh3 10.Bxc5 dxc5 11.Ng3 h5 12.Re1 Nd4 13.Re3 h4 14.Nf5 Nxf5 15.exf5 Qxf5 16.Qe1 Nd7 17.Qa5 Rh6 18.Kh1 Rg6 19.Rg1 0-0-0 20.Qxa7 Nb6 21.Bb5 e4 22.Rxg6 fxg6 23.Kg2 exf3+ 24.Kf1 Qh3+ 25.Ke1 Qg2 26.Re4 Qg1+ 27.Kd2 Qxf2+ 28.Kc3 Qxh2 29.a4 c4 30.Rxc4 Qe5+ 31.Kb3 f2 32.Qxb6 f1Q 33.Qa7 Rxd3+ 34.cxd3 Qxd3+ 35.Ka2 Qxb5 0-1 <Bekey - Charousek>

Evidence of his bold, incisive play has been preserved in this book with over 140 of his finest games.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charouseks-... |

|
| Oct-26-11 | | Nosnibor: I have comments concerning two games.
Game 25 This was not a formal march game between Charousek and Makovetz which is stated by jessicafischerqueen in her wonderful picture/music posts of Charousek,but a game whereby Charousek gave odds of a Queens Knight to Makovetz. You will note that there is no move by White of this piece.Souce:Chess-players Compendium by William Cook.
Game 149 between Charousek and Maroczy was not played in Budapest but at Nagy Teteny on New Years Eve 1897.Source:Dreindhart Schackpartien by Maroczy. |

| Oct-26-11 | | Nosnibor: Apologies! My last post should have read games21 and 120 |
|
| Nov-24-11 | | Sho: Nosnibor, better would be to use the game identification number, the seven-digit number at the end of the URL. If new games are added, "game 120" would become a different game. |

| Jan-12-12 | | LoveThatJoker: What a great Chess player, man!
God bless, GM Charousek!

 | | Morten: In terms of results and statisctics Charousek may not count for much in comparison with Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine etc. But he is a player who sparks the imagination, because he clearly had THE GIFT and you can't help wonder what might have been had he been allowed to continue. |

 | | Conrad93: This guy is definitely a great attacking player.
He should be in the same league as Morphy or Capablanca. Every move he makes is designed for attack.
Kind of reminds me of a pit bull. |

| Feb-07-13 | | IndigoViolet: <Here is a game not in the database...> Charousek vs Lehner, 1897
That took 30 seconds to find. What's wrong with people? The database of Charousek's games in <Quarterly for Chess History, Spring 1/1999> lists 271 games (including fragments). Oh boy... |
