Sep-15-03  rochade18: "Beratende" is not a chess player, but a German word. Something like consultation, advisory partners, I can't give a better explanation.

  chessgames.com: Thanks. Well call them "allies."
Nov-17-04  Knight13: This guy loses too much.
Nov-17-04  aw1988: Wow, I didn't know they put my name in the database!
Nov-17-04  Knight13: There's a unbelievable fact of this player: He played chess for 106 years! Dang!
Nov-17-04  DevastatioN: Um... 1931 subtract 1837 is 94 years btw ;)
Nov-17-04  von schlepstein: Take a look at NN's longevity.
Nov-19-04  Knight13: <DevastioN> Okay okay... That's still unbelievable. Would you play chess for 94 years? Is it possible for you to play chess even when you are very very old? No, right? So I think it is unbelievable. :)

  beatgiant: <chessgames.com: Thanks. Well call them "allies.">

Note that you have a couple of games by "Consultants" too.

Nov-25-04  ruylopez900: Knight13 - <Is it possible for you to play chess even when you are very very old? No, right?>

Two words: Victor Korchnoi.

  Benzol: You could add a few more - Mikhail Botvinnik, Emanuel Lasker, Joseph Henry Blackburne, Samuel Reshevsky and Vasily Smyslov all come to mind.
Nov-25-04  OJC: < knight13 > Can't play when old? Only 94 years? Here's a story of a 102 year old beating a 5 year old. Check this out:

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Maybe Korchnoi has another 30 years left?

Jul-05-05  THE pawn: I do hope Korchnoi never gets really ill, so he can play for the rest of his life ( If he wishes...imagine, you're ~75 years old, you're f**ing tired of that damn game you've played all your life, and you learn that you have another healthy 30 years in front of you, and you have to play chess in order to win money....I would shoot myself you know!) Impressive play by the 102 years old player <OJC>.
Jul-05-05  howardtheduck: <OJC>
What an interesting link that was. I'm always amazed by human prowess and that was such a case!

chess is a fun game to play and i guess i will have more time to play when i'm retired...

Jul-05-05  Montreal1666: <rochade18:> <"Beratende" is not a chess player, but a German word. Something like consultation, advisory partners, I can't give a better explanation.>

Where do you see the word "Beratende" here?

<Thanks. Well call them "allies.">

You call what Allies?

Can someone explain in clear terms what does the player named "Allies" represent?

Jul-05-05  Darklight: <Can someone explain in clear terms what does the player named "Allies" represent?> a team of players
Aug-07-05  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Its funny that "allies" never managed to draw in 38 games ...
Nov-23-05  EmperorAtahualpa: With the new game added to the database, it looks like <Knight13> was right after all.....106 years!
Dec-02-06  gauer: chessgames: are these guys the same player as this guy below: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... ?
Dec-02-06  Karpova: A great chessplayer but virtually forgotten nowadays. The proof: His best game is not even included in the database. It was against Axis, a strong european player...
Dec-02-06  technical draw: <Karpova> Axis was a team composed of European and Asian players.
Dec-04-06  Eyal: <technical draw> Allies was a team too - joined in the middlegame by a strong Russian player (who helped Axis in the opening).
Dec-04-06  Archives: Im sorry guys, but I'm finding it hard to read in between the lines here.
Dec-04-06  arifattar: <Allies was a team too> with the American players joining in later.
