Unfortunately I won't spare time today to check some <KAISSIBER> chess magazines... |
|
| Dec-11-07 | | Prugno: I just read that interesting Kaissiber article mentioned by <whiteshark> in its Italian version. Engels comes out as an extremely talented player, winner of several beautiful games against strong opponents, who might have become much more famous if he had lived in different times (for instance in present-day Germany). A very worthy Player of the day. I also found a curious footnote in the article stating that Engels (unlike Eliskases, for instance) disliked the Nazi regime owing to his homosexuality. This kind of information is of course utterly irrelevant from a chess point of view, but in a historical article it helps to shed more light on a player's character and attitude. |

It took me more than 10 minutes to solve your brilliant puzzle: 1. Qh7+ Kxh7 (1...Kf8 2. Qh8#) 2. Nf6+ Kxh6 (2...Kh8 3. Bxg7+, when 3...Kxg7 4. Rg3+ and 3...Rxg7 4. Rh3+ mate quickly) 3. Rh3+ Kg5 4. Rg3+ and the rook delivers mate on g4 or g6. |

|
| Mar-03-12 | | vonKrolock: <offramp> No hint about what happened. But Engel's partner in that game was the future General Isaac Nahon (*Rio 1908- +Paraná 2000) - who was also a football coach and enthusiastic chess player. (Here when he was Colonel Nahon - at right in that photo) http://www.portalfeb.com.br/wp-cont... |

| May-07-17 | | Paarhufer: In 2016 a biography appeared: "Vom Rhein nach São Paulo" by Friedrich-Karl Hebeker, see http://www.chaturanga.de/neuerschei... When I began to read, I was in doubt because of some inaccuracies, but it is absolutely worth reading. |
|
| May-30-17 | | zanzibar: Of course, it's probably inutile to ask for elaboration on exactly what inaccuracies gave pause... |
