Born 2nd August 1927 in Budapest
He was Austrian champion in 1954, 1956 and 1977. |
|
Mar-09-05 | | mcgee: Unusually, an IM with wins over three world champions (Euwe, Botvinnik and Spassky). Can anyone top this? He also has three wins over Larsen. |

Yes, I think Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov has a good claim to be better. |
|
Mar-10-05 | | mcgee: Nezhemtdinov has more aggregate wins over world champions, but according to the database he only defeated two world champs (Spassky and Tal). |

 | | whiteshark: He wrote a small book <Meister der Turmendspiele (1890-1914)>*, Wiener Schacherlag, no year of publication. It contains 50 ...♖endgames, chronologically listed. I wonder if there is a continuation?
* <Masters of rook endgames> for those who don't speak Austrian. :A |

Sep-19-08 | | DoctorD: No continuation.
It would be a wonderful coup for someone to come out with one. It is a wonderful book, I was lucky enough to find a copy last year. |

 | | whiteshark: <DoctorD: No continuation.> That's a real shame!
It seems we have to do it on our own.
Feel free to post your games/suggestions/ideas at my forum. :D |

I would imagine a book on ♖ endgames would be more likely to have a prequel. |

Aug-02-12 | | lentil: <IM a winner against three world champions> Were they WCs when he beat them? [I have a win against an IM. But he was only 10 years old at the time...] |

 | | perfidious: <lentil> Botvinnik was the only reigning WC whom Dueckstein defeated, though this game, played that same year, was also a shocker (A Dueckstein vs Euwe, 1958). |
|
Jul-13-15 | | waustad: Looking at his FIDE card he is still quite active. He's now playing in the European Senior Team Chess Championship in Vienna for the team Wien 75+. At least he didn't have to go far. |
|
Jun-27-16 | | diagonal: <waustad> Dückstein, turning ninety next year, is the oldest player at the current World Team Championship 50+ & 65+ (2016) in Radebeul near Dresden, he is playing for the team of Vienna 1. |
