| Jun-14-18 | | zanzibar: <RB> thank you very much for that, though it seems Gillam is in the same shape as I am - the sources are rather thin. I doubt the 1973 Spanish booklet is authoritative - so the main source is TDS. But afaik it didn't have any of the game dates in it, making me wonder how Gillam came up with his schedule, or how I missed it? . |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | Retireborn: <z> I was wondering about that myself. It's possible that he got the dates from the Spanish booklet (which was part of a series about Rubinstein, he says) or perhaps from some other Rubinstein book such as the Donaldson/Minev one. The TfS source he quotes is 1920 pp 4-32. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | zanzibar: <RB> the specifics of the ref is helpful; I'll have a second look then. |
|
| Jun-15-18 | | sneaky pete: That Spanish booklet (Ricardo Alvarez Cela y Luis Eceizabarrena Gaba, Estocolmo 1919 y Rubinstein-Bogoljubow, 1920, published by Ricardo Aguilera, Madrid, 1973, as part of the Serie Rubinstein of the Torneos Retrospectivos) has no dates or anything else worth menrioning, only the games in that horrible Spanish descriptive notation. |
|
| Jun-15-18 | | Retireborn: <sneaky pete> Heh. I'd love to see just how big your library is! If the dates aren't in TfS then I can only suppose Gillam has got hold of a local bulletin or schedule. |
|
| Jun-15-18 | | zanzibar: OK, I doublechecked <TfS_1920_0103 p4-32>, and there definitely is only the bracket dates + round numbers given. That means we don't know how Gillam arrived at his schedule. I suspect he would have cited Swedish newspaper accounts if he had access to such. Or other newspaper accounts, for that matter. My working theory is that my schedule is the most consistent, at least at the moment(*). (*) Do we have any Nordic historians who might search their country's newspaper archives? |

 | | Stonehenge: Nice photo:
https://geheugen.delpher.nl/nl/gehe... The caption:
<Chess. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Chess Federation, a chess competition is held in 1923 between Dr. Max Euwe and Richard Reti [1889-1929]. The competition takes place in the Kurhaus in Scheveningen.> Is that really Euwe? |
|
| Apr-15-20 | | Retireborn: <Stonehenge> Very nice photo, but that is not Euwe. I assume the caption just means that Euwe and Reti were on opposing sides in the 1923 Scheveningen. I assume the mystery opponent is one of the other (Dutch?) players who were present. They are not playing a competitive game there, I think. |

 | | HeMateMe: Hi Andrew. Play in any clubs or live events lately? I was walking through uptown Harlem today, 140s, and found an ACTUAL brick and mortar chess/backgammon club. They aren't' extinct! I have to dust off my backgammon probability thinking. |

| Jul-25-22 | | Helios727: Did Reti consider himself Hungarian? |
|
| Jul-25-22 | | Retireborn: Probably he thought of himself as Viennese or Austrian. He was born in what is now Slovakia, I think. More than one poster below mentions that he did not speak Hungarian. |
|
Jul-25-22
| | HeMateMe: I guess it would help if one knew who his parents were, what language they spoke at home. |
|
| Jul-25-22 | | Olavi: https://www.chesshistory.com/winter... Seeing that they subscribed to Über Land und Meer, German will have been the language - at least one of them. |
|
| Jul-25-22 | | stone free or die: Reading about <Rudolph Reti> I found a mention of him being reared in Vienna (and also being born in Slovakia). Don't know if the family spoke Slovak or not; I wonder where one might find evidence one way or the other. Richard was a polyglot, and there exists a sample of his handwriting in French: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope... from later in his life.
and in German:

|
| Jul-27-22 | | Olavi: <Helios727: Did Reti consider himself Hungarian?> Lest we forget - surely he considered himself Jewish. That's not always very helpful, people did and do have two national/ethnic identities. Even the fact that he wrote his books in German is not necessarily conclusive. |

| | Gottschalk: Reti versus Belgrano Rawson
The fact of the game having been matched in the opening, in no way invalidates or prejudices it.
By the way, the outcome is very good |
