Nov-13-17  hemy: <Magpye> Please relax and stop your foolish remarks.

As you probably know, the research include the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

On November 9 I found an article of Aron Nimzowitsch ("Rigasche Rundschau" November 29, p5.) were he stated that the game was played in Berlin. The conclusion was that the game was played in Berlin. The date of the game wasn't mentioned in that article, so the date when Lasker was in Moscow could be excluded.

On the next day (November 10) I found the article "Chess King in Moscow" in archive of the Russian newspaper "Раннее утро" ("Early morning") from March 31, 1914.

The result of my research confirmed the location and the date that was published without references to the original sources.

Nov-13-17  Magpye: <hemy: <Magpye> Please relax and stop your foolish remarks.>

Don't you be making foolish remarks either, <hemy>. If you didn't understand, I was thanking you for your research. Usually, when someone says "thank you," your reply should be "you're welcome."

End of lesson.

Nov-13-17  hemy: <Magpye> Thank you and sorry for my last remark.
Nov-13-17  Magpye: <hemy> I apologize if you thought my remarks were out of line. I really do appreciate the hard work that the biographers and historians do here. What you all add to chess history here is admirable.

Apr-25-20  jameschess: <Isidor Zabludowski> I found his first name in <Düna Zeitung 04.04.1898 Nr.77 p111>; ( http://periodika.lv/periodika2-view... ), could it be him?

  Tabanus: No... not him. According to Baltische Schachblätter he was student in Riga in 1899. And https://archive.org/stream/leopoldi... "Leopoldina" 1906 p. 159:

<Am 25. November 1906 starb in Berlin Professor Dr. Isidor Zabludowski, der Leiter des Massage-Instituts der Berliner Universität.>

  Tabanus: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/6... if you can read it is a Brazilian death registration of George Zabludowski, b. 1911, "naturalidade Russia", d. 26 Jan 1991 in Rio de Janeiro. His parents given as <Isidor G. Zabludowski> and Anna L. Zabludowski.

  Tabanus: And https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/6... is an immigration card of Nicolai Zabludowski, b. 26 Jan 1913, Stateless, unmarried, with passport issued in Paris 3 May 1946, arriving in Brazil 1946. Parents: Isydore Zabludowski and Anne Zabludowski. Looks like a brother of George.
Apr-26-20  jameschess: <Isidore Zabludowski (1876-1943)> He is one of the Holocaust victims (1942-1944).
https://www.ushmm.org/online/hsv/pe...
Apr-26-20  jameschess: <Zabludowski> was a celebrated chess player.

He was in the Bialystok Ghetto, the Germans entered Bialystok on 27 June 1941.

From everywhere Germans had driven the Jews in the direction of the Great Synagogue, with about eight hundred inside, they set fire to the building. Those who managed to escape from the burning building were shot. Those who resisted being pushed inside were shot.

Until late that day Jews were driven into the burning building, shot on the streets and in their houses.

Among those who died in the burning Synagogue was Zabludowski.

  Tabanus: The celebrated chess player in Bialystok 1941 probably was Aron, see Aron Zabludowski.

<hemy> Where are you, help! :)

Apr-26-20  jameschess: <Tabanus> <Aron Zabludowski (1909-1941)> is a chess player. You're right.

  Tabanus: https://www.ancestry.com/interactiv... if you can read it is an immigration card for Nicolai Zabludowski dated 2 July 1948. There's a photo, he is arriving from Paris, stateless, single, he is born <25 January 1913 in Moscou>, parents <Isidore e Tzigel Anna>. I now see the 1946 document also says Moscou.

  Tabanus: There's even a third immigration card for permanent residency, dated 2 August 1954, with "Nicolas Zabloudovski", now married, born in Moscow 12 Jan 1913, parents "Isidore e Annie Tsigel".
