| Nov-27-13 | | offramp: <He won so many fifth prizes up to 1910 that he earned the nickname "Richard the Fifth".> This nickname would make more sense if there was a <famous> Richard V - but there isn't one. I would call him <The General Chang of the Twentieth Century>. |
|
| Nov-27-13 | | Karpova: When was he called <Richard V.> for the first time? I found such a remark by Krejcik on pp. 307-308 of the September-October 1911 'Wiener Schachzeitung': <Teichmann will nicht mehr Richard V. bleiben, er nennt sich nun Richard I. (Löwenherz).> (Teichmann doesn't want to remain Richard V., he calls himself Richard I. (Lionheart) now) - This is after Carlsbad 1911. |
|
| Dec-24-13 | | brankat: R.I.P. Richard the 4th! (or is it the 6th? :-)) |
|
| Feb-15-14 | | Karpova: Earlier mention of his nickname <Richard V.>: Page 85 of the March 1909 'Wiener Schachzeitung' |
|
| Apr-10-14 | | Karpova: In the Cafe Bauer in Berlin (Unter den Linden) the match between Richard Teichmann and Jacques Mieses took place in 1910. The owners of the Cafe Bauer donated 1,000 <Mark>. Teichmann won with +5 -0 =2. Source: 'Wiener Schachzeitung', October-November 1910, p. 382 |

| Apr-18-14 | | Karpova: Dr. Emanuel Lasker:
<Teichmann hat seine eigene Manier. Er belegt sein Spiel, im Verlustfalle, mit groben Schimpfnamen, im entgegengesetzten Falle macht er dem Gegner die Freude, die von jenem begangenen Fehler zu verunglimpfen. So dauert der Mißmut über den Mangel an Erfolg nie lange, und man amüsiert sich unter sich vortrefflich.> (Teichmann has his own style. He overlays his play with invective, in case of a loss, in the opposite case he pleases the opponent by denigrating the mistakes the opponent made. This way, displeasure over a lack of success never lasts long, and you enjoy yourself among yourselves excellently.) Source: 'Pester Lloyd', 1909.02.27, p. 8 (Dr. Emanuel Lasker's report on St. Petersburg of February 22nd) |

| Aug-11-14 | | Marcelo Bruno: <myschkin> You are right that is a bad PGN code. It's incridible that softwares like Chessmaster contain this error. I checked the ChessBase software and I got there the correct information: 1924. Another strange information that the Chessmaster provides: Lasker's Memorial Tournament (Lasker was alive in this time and living in Berlin). |

| Apr-07-15 | | Conrad93: He looks like a James Bond villain. |
|
| Apr-10-15 | | N0B0DY: SPOILER ALERT: <Conrat93> is really Darth Vader's bastard love child. |
|
| Apr-11-15 | | Conrad93: <is really Darth Vader's bastard love child.> How would Darth Vader have children? Pretty sure his junk was burned off when he dropped in that lake of lava. |

| May-16-15 | | TheFocus: <Chess is 99% tactics> - Richard Teichmann. |
|
| Dec-24-16 | | Paarhufer: The new (and possibly last) article in Michael Negele's biographical series deals with Richard Teichmann: http://www.schachbund.de/news/genug... As a byproduct Negele establishes the correct date of birth as 23 December 1868, and also explains the wrong date. But it is the whole article, which is great. |
|
| Dec-24-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Richard the Fifth!! |

 | | MissScarlett: Linlithgowshire Gazette, August 18th 1911, p.3: <"La Strategie," Paris, thus truly wrote of Teichmann recently - "His chess lore is astonishing. He has not only a profound knowledge of the theory of the game, but is also thoroughly conversant with problem science and end-game study. For hour after hour he regaled us with the most miscellaneous collection of compositions. We may have met chess masters as enthusiastic in their devotion to chess, but we never met one who was so thoroughly versed in the science and history of the game." Certainly Teichmann would be hard to beat as an instructor, and there are also few better living players.> |

| Jan-10-23 | | generror: Everyone wearing an eyepatch is automatically one of my heroes, especially if he has the reputation of being a "drawing master". He also seemed to have been a really nice and interesting person. I just encountered an nice little observation by Friedrich Sämisch on Edgar Winter's pages (https://www.chesshistory.com/winter... Sämisch mentions that Teichmann was liberally accepting draws not because he was lazy, but because he just was so good-natured. But there was one exception -- when Teichmann realized that the opponent tried to win a drawn game, he really got wild. I like that :) Sämisch also mentions that he once played against him in just such a game, trying hard to win the game, when (apparently around move 15), Teichmann suddenly stopped the clock, pushed the pieces together and, after stating "Enough tedium, draw!", he left. (To a wrestling match, apparently.) The German expression has become something of a catchphrase. Sämisch gives the first moves <1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Nf3 0-0 7.Rc1 b6 8.cxd5 exd5 9.Bd3 Bb7 10.0-0 Ne4 11.Bxe7 Nxc3? 12.Bxh7+ Kh8> (ECO D63). I haven't been able to find this game anywhere; the <Deutsche Schachzeitung> mentions a 1921 or 1922 mini-match of four games between the two (which Teichmann won +1=3-0). Does anyone know if this game (or any other from that match) was ever published -- and if so, where? It's definitively not on file here, nor is it in the Chessbase Mega Base. |

| | HeMateMe: Steve Martin's best movie, <Dirty Rotten Scoundrels>. Not Michael Caine's best movie as he has appeared in 237 or so movies. But, perhaps Caine's best comedy? |
|
| Jan-11-23 | | Nosnibor: <Hemateme> "Theirs not a lot of people know that." |
|
| Jan-11-23 | | stone free or die: <generror> that's quite a list you've compiled. |
|
| Jan-12-23 | | generror: Thanks, <stone_free>, I just love this trope so much :) |
