 | | Phony Benoni: <stoy> This database is not complete. We have all the games between Leonhardt and Nimzowitch from tournament play, but none from the match referred to in the introduction. Odd how Nimzowitsch got clobbered by Leonhardt in the match, but dominated their tournament games both before and afterwards. |

| | Phony Benoni: <nescio> Thank you! A nice birthday present for Mr. Leonhardt. |
|
| Nov-13-10 | | nescio: <Phony Benoni: Odd how Nimzowitsch got clobbered by Leonhardt in the match, but dominated their tournament games both before and afterwards.> Niemzowitsch was never one to deviate from his principles and had many a disappointment in his results because of it. You see the same trend in the games of Tarrasch and Boleslavsky. In the end they were often proven right, but it cost them lots of points. However, such players have beeen very important for the development of chess strategy. |

| Nov-13-11 | | brankat: <What is it with the revisionist history on this site? The man was born in Posen, Germany and died in Koenigsberg, Germany> It is not a "revisionist history". The biography does state the facts. While Her Leonhardt was born in Posen, Germany, and died in Koenigsberg, Germany, the geopolitical map of Europe has changed since then. The additional info (Poznan and Kaliningrad) is for those who may try to look up Posen and/or Koenigsberg on the map of Germany. They would not find them. Mr.Leonhardt certainly had Nimzo's number in their 1911. match. but it should be noted that the overall score between the two was in Nimzowitsch's favour: +6 -5 =2.
R.I.P. master Leonhardt. |
|
| Nov-22-12 | | Abdel Irada: Leonhardt must have lived in perpetual internal conflict, thanks to his parents. Richard the Lionheart (properly, King Richard I of England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richar...) and Saladin (formally Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub or "Righteousness of the Faith Joseph Son of Jacob": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saladin) were leaders of the respective Christian and Muslim forces in the Third Crusade. Interestingly, however, the two men learned to respect one another as examples of honor and chivalry, and ended as the best of friendly enemies. So perhaps Leonhardt, too, learned to reconcile his inner selves. |
|
| Nov-22-12 | | Abdel Irada: Correction to preceding post: Ayyub is not Jacob (which is Yakub) but Job. My apologies for the careless mistake. |

Mr LEONHARDT Sr: [To his wife] Word up bee-yarch!! Have you thought of a name for the new child. Mrs LEONHARDT: Yes. Paul.
Mr LEONHARDT Sr: What about a middle name? How about naming him after the most famous kurd in history? Mrs LEONHARDT: Saladin? Yeah, whatever. |

 | | Retireborn: <offramp> I expect you know that Kaiser Bill paid to renovate Saladin's tomb in Damascus from 1898 onwards, a gift to his Ottoman allies, no doubt. Even so one wonders how many parents in the German Empire would have wanted to name their children Saladin! |

I suppose that explains the mystery of a Polish guy with the forename Saladin. |

| Jul-11-17 | | Gypsy: <... He was about as Polish as a Volkswagen ...> Perhaps Volkswagen is not the most fortunate example to make this rhetorical point: <... Adolf Hitler said of the Tatra 'this is the car for my roads'.[2][3] Ferdinand Porsche later admitted 'to have looked over Ledwinka's shoulders' while designing the Volkswagen.[2][4] In the same sentence he stated that Ledwinka sometimes looked over Porsche's shoulder.Tatra sued Porsche for damages, and Porsche was willing to settle. However, Hitler canceled this, saying he 'would settle the matter.' [5] When Czechoslovakia was invaded by the Nazis, the production of the T97 was immediately halted, and the lawsuit dropped. After the war, Tatra reopened the lawsuit against Volkswagen. In 1965, the matter was settled when Volkswagen paid Tatra 1,000,000 Deutsche Mark in compensation.[6] > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra...
( Admittedly Koprivnice, the location of Tatra car-manufacturer, is in the Czechslovakian part of Silesia, not Polish. )
