  offramp: Czerniak played at least two games against Capablanca, which aren't here.
Apr-21-04  TrueFiendish: If you know their whereabouts I think Chessgames would be keen for you to submit them.

Aug-01-04  Ribeiro: Czerniak wrote a very good book entitled "El Final" (The Endgame). He was born in Warsaw (1910) and lived in Jerusalem and Buenos Aires. In Argentina he was known as Miguel Czerniak.

Oct-23-05  Darklight: <A tremendously dogged player> He certainly started his international career against strong opponents: Alekhine, Capablanca, Keres, Najdorf....

Oct-09-06  Confuse: the quote of the day is interesting, although i am unable to find the mentioned game. does anyone have it/willing to upload it?
Feb-03-09  brankat: R.I.P. master Czerniak.
Feb-03-09  zev22407: A strong I.M and a great chess teacher
Feb-03-09  WhiteRook48: well, that is an interesting choice for a player of the day, but all players of the day are weird and interesting choices
Feb-03-12  Rook e2: <Feb-03-09 WhiteRook48: well, that is an interesting choice for a player of the day, but all players of the day are weird and interesting choices > Who of the Happy Birthday list would you choose? I think it's interesting that he first became champion of Palestine and later played for Israel, or am I missing something?
Feb-03-12  Sasportas: <Feb-03-12 Rook e2: it's interesting that he first became champion of Palestine and later played for Israel, or am I missing something? > Yes, you are in a way. The land between the Mediterranean sea and the river Jordan was the British mandatory area of Palestine for almost three decades until 1948. The offcial name in Arabic was Falastin (Palestine), in Hebrew Eretz Israel (land of Israel). Chess life in mandatory Palestine was more or less an all-Jewish, so-to-say "Israeli" affair - just look at the Palestinian team at the Buenos Aires chess olympiad in 1939 of which Czerniak was a member!

Mar-10-12  wordfunph: from Secrets of Opening Surprises Vol. 9 by Jeroen Bosch..

<He did a lot for chess in Israel by teaching chess all around the country. writing many books, and perhaps most incredibly: he managed to get a chess show on the nation's only TV channel! Czerniak used to play 'out of the books', using his own brain and talent to create problems for his opponents from the first moves onwards.>

  Jonathan Sarfati: Czerniak was the teacher of the fine Israeli player and study composer Yochanan Afek
Mar-13-13  gars: <Ribeiro> is right. "El Final" is a very good book and besides this one Czerniak also wrote "Partidas Selectas de Botvinnik", another excellent work. Both books were published by Editorial Mercedes Sopena, Argentina, but I think they are out of print now, which is a pity.
