| Oct-01-13 | | RookFile: I love the comment in the introduction:
<His own success against this able Dutch expert no doubt afforded Capablanca no little satisfaction. In a sense the results gave notice to the chess world that a terrific struggle between him and Dr. Alekhine may be looked forward to with certainty, should the return match between them materialize – <American Chess Bulletin>. > Oh, if only things had worked out that way. |

Article from "American Chess Bulletin" but missing the date and page numbers:<Jose Capablanca of Havana and Dr. Max Euwe of Amsterdam started their series of ten games, which were contested without a hitch at Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Scheveningen. Without losing a game, Capablanca won the match by 2–0, with eight draws.
Dr. Euwe, who outranked Capablanca at Hastings this year, put up a great fight, as was to have been expected. However, his showing was not up to the record he made in his earlier matches against Dr. Alekhine and Bogoljubow. He won five games in the three encounters with those masters.His own success against this able Dutch expert no doubt afforded Capablanca no little satisfaction. In a sense the results gave notice to the chess world that a terrific struggle between him and Dr. Alekhine may be looked forward to with certainty, should the return match between them materialize – > <American Chess Bulletin>. |

 | | perfidious: It was most unfortunate that this was the last serious chess played by Capablanca until Hastings (1934/35). |

<perfidious> Quite right. I'd even say it was close to a tragedy, given that the likely reason for this hiatus was the terrible relations between Capablanca and Alekhine during this period. The missing <Alekhine-Capablanca rematch> perhaps second only to the missing <Fischer-Karpov> match in "great losses to chess history." |

| | perfidious: <WCC> My recollection is that Golombek speculated as to why Capa was out of action, the most probable reason being his failure to secure a return match. The two Bogoljubov-Alekhine encounters were poor substitutes for what might have been. |

<Whilst researching Game Collection: WCC: Alekhine-Bogoljubov 1934 ARCHIVE Contenders, I came across Capablanca - Euwe (1931). The original verbatim "American Chess Bulletin" article, which had been the sole introduction to this event, is now placed intact in the Kibbutz section. I have included relevant historical information from that source in the new introduction. In addition, I noticed the "original game collection" was a dead link, so I deleted it.> Why delete the intro? It did not violate copyright laws. Aren't you just being facetious?
I expect better from the Biographers of this site.
I do understand deleting the link to the original collection, which has been deleted. Perhaps you should consult with Mr. Freeman. |
|
| Oct-18-14 | | TheFocus: If Mr. Freeman says I violated copyright issues, I will bow out. If not, I expect you to say that you are sorry for overstepping your bounds. |
|
| Oct-18-14 | | TheFocus: I will conduct myself however Daniel rules. And if he rules in my favor, I will be a constant thorn in your side if you target my work. I suggest you lay off the wine for a couple of days and come to your senses. If I used an article from a magazine or a journal, I ALWAYS cited it. |

| Dec-03-14 | | sneaky pete: <Karpova> Telegraf means Teletomb. Other accepted forms of the name are Telegrof (Telerude), Teleraaf (Teleraven) and Telegier (Televulture). |

| Dec-04-14 | | Karpova: Interestingly, in C.N. 5427, Winter writes: [...] <ninth match-game between Capablanca and Euwe in Amsterdam on 8 July 1931.> Link: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... This seems to be he only time, he discussed the match in a C.N.. And it is not clear, which source he is referring to. Did he discuss it anywhere else? On page 230 of his book on Capablanca (McFarland, 1989), he quotes Capablanca himself: <Furthermore, as you are aware, I am engaged to play a match with Dr. Euwe from 12 July to 1 August of this year,> [...] (a letter from 15 May 1931 to Alekhine). This alone should have sufficed to dig deeper. In the 'Wiener Schachzeitung' of September 1931 (pp. 257-261), Albert Becker gives 16 July for game 3, 26 July for game 8 and 28 July for game 9. The Dutch newspapers, not just 'De Telegraaf', covered the match pretty extensively and as "live" as is possible in such a medium. It was reported, that Capablanca arrived in Amsterdam on 10 July, when the match would have allegedly ended. Their daily reports seem to be the best source available. They can't be ignored in any discussion of the matter. Here is a possible selection: http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/re... |
