| Nov-21-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: I'm looking for a game "Engels - Consulterende" played in 1943, containing a very entertaining mating combination involving a Queen and Knight sacrifice. Would anyone be able to find this game? And if so, would you be so kind to submit it to the chessgames.com database? Thank you very much! |

| Apr-14-07 | | vonKrolock: Very interesting article on-line, by van Riemsdijk, remembering the 40th Year of Engels' death - photos: 1- Playing in São Paulo; 2- His grave in the same city (quite derelict); 3- <?!> The Game Madeira de Ley vs Engels; 4- Herman Claudius today; 5- photo and score-sheet from an Engels' simul Game in Belo Horizonte 1948 http://www.hiperchess.com.br/bios/E... |

 | | whiteshark: Player of the day.
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... |
|
| Mar-04-12 | | offramp: A small coincidence: he was player of the day on 3rd March 2012, and here is a clue from the London Times crossword (25,101) of that day. 28A Philosopher set on opponents (6) |
|
| Sep-07-12 | | Karpova: In January 1934, Engels won the Rhine Championship in Wiesbaden with 8.0/9 ahead of Hussong and Orth with 6.5, Heinrich with 6.0 and Borgards with 5.5, etc. From page 45 of the 1934 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung' |

 | | perfidious: <Runemaster: It's a shame that there is no recorded game between Engels and Karl Marx> Yes, most unfortunate. |
|
| 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... |
