May-30-17 Lasker vs J F Barry, 1904 
| |
| Paarhufer: That's a pretty big mistake! The Lasker monograph ( http://www.kwabc.org/archive/Home/L... ) has also Barry - Lasker (p. 800)! |

| Paarhufer: <RetireBorn: Perhaps Herr P could tell us whether there is in fact a German-language equivalent of CG?> If someone is really interested in German chess historians, then it could be an information that one of the more known figures recently died. This obituary ... |

May-28-17 Hastings (1895)
| |
| Paarhufer: <solskytz: One should mention that Lasker was ill with Typhus at the time of the tournament, and almost died.> Lasker's illness begun at the end of October 1894 (newspapers reported on a cancelled appointment). The following text is from the <The Belfast News-Letter>, ... |

May-27-17 Arthur Henry Trott
| |
| Paarhufer: <Tabanus: (and lost!)> I see. The chessplayer A.H. Trott commented in BCM 1950, pages 239-240 his win against Leonard William Barden (the game was played on board one in the match between Oxford University and the Metropolitan C.C.). Maybe <roberts partner> still ... |

| Paarhufer: <Schweda -- Sika (Brno 1929)> Sika and a player named Šveda (the spelling is confirmed by one Czech and one German source, but one can never be completely sure) from Brno met in a preliminary group of the main tournament. So, the position could be from that game. ... |

| |
| Paarhufer: This game was played in a radio broadcast. Black's position became passive around move 20 and suspicious soon thereafter. White's last move, 34.♖f4, was a mistake. A winning plan could be ♖1f2, ♔h2, g4, g5. With a rook on the third rank, White has sometimes ... |

May-09-17 Karlsbad (1911)
| |
| Paarhufer: <keypusher: Hugo's first loss in the tournament.> Well, this game was played in round six, when Suechting had wins against Jaffe, Chajes, and Dus Chotimirsky, a draw with Perlis and a loss against Kostic - if all games were finished. Then he commits this blunder. What does ... |

| 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. |
