 | | WTHarvey: Here is a collection of puzzles from Karl's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/ahue.html |
|
| Jul-13-06 | | Rama: His puzzles over at harvey got me more interested in Ahues. I have gone over several of his games here recently, they are very enjoyable. He takes chances and gets good results. |

| Oct-18-06 | | syracrophy: <WTHarvey> Thanks for the link! Nice puzzles of him! :-) Here goes another puzzle of him that I really like (and doesn't appear on the page):

"Das Blitzspiel mit ihm war wegen seiner witzigen Sprüche, geprägt von einem in seinen Berliner Jahren erlernten Humor (er kam eigentlich aus Bremen), ein besonderes Vergnügen." (Dr. Karsten Müller ) |

 | | Pawn and Two: The above position, given by <syracrophy>, may be found in the book "Chess Gems - 1001 Combinations You Should Know", by Igor Sukhin. The position is from the game, Ahues - NN - Berlin, 1932. |

| | Pawn and Two: The following position, with White to play, was given by Edward Winter in his book, "The Chess Omnibus".
click for larger viewWinter stated that in "Schach" by H. Ranneforth (Leipzig, 1936) the players were indicated as Ahues - Wolf, while in Paul Troger's, "Danke Partner - fur Deinen Fehler!" (Stuttgart, 1989), the players were indicated as Ahues - Hans Muller, Berlin 1920. White in an apparently hopeless position, played 1.Qxf6!. Black faced with the mating threats, 2.Qxg7+, or 1...gxf6 2.Rg3+, then resigned. Black had missed the beautiful winning move 1...Qg4!! |
|
| Jul-29-12 | | Karpova: Ahues beat Alfred Brinckmann in a match 1930 by the score of 5.5-2.5 (page 163 of the 1930 '(Neue) Wiener Schachzeitung'). |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | Kikoman: One of the great chess master of Germany. Rest In Peace Karl Ahues. |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | thomastonk: <myschkin> Müller's quote suggests that he speaks based on own experience, but he was born almost two years after Ahues' death. <chessgames.com> Why is his first name written "Karl"? Almost all other sources give "Carl", including his son. |

| | Pawn and Two: It appears Ahues had a keen sense of humor. Note what happened in a game against Przepiorka, after Ahues played 23...Rxd2: Przepiorka vs Ahues, 1927. Read the 12/5/04 comment by <percyblakeney>. |
|
| Oct-31-13 | | Karpova: Berlin City Championship 1924 (Begin: February 15):
1-2. Ahues 5.5
1-2. Teichmann 5.5
3. Richter 5.0
4. Zander 4.5
5-6. Wegemund 4.0
5-6. Westphal 4.0
7. Dührsen 3.5
8-9. B Koen 2.0
8-9. W Koch 2.0
The players E Post, Pahl and Schlage withdrew from the tournament. Especually Post's withdrawal was criticised and some even demanded him to be excluded from all future <Verbandsturnieren> (a Berlin Chess Association may be meant with <Verband>). From page 109 of the April 1924 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung' |
|
| Oct-31-13 | | Nosnibor: In November 1952 the Berlin Chess Club celebrated it`s 75th anniversary since it was founded.A small tournament was run and these were the following scores:-
1=Ahues 4
1=Rellstab 4
3Dr.Taube 3.5
4-5=Brinkmann 3
4-5=Heemsoth 3
6 Kuppe 2.5
7 Carls 1.5
So a pretty good result for someone almost 70! |
|
| Dec-31-15 | | TheFocus: Rest in peace, Carl Ahues. |
|
| Apr-20-16 | | ozmikey: For any German speakers, a long and fascinating series of Ahues' reminiscences and stories can be found at the link below (it's the first page of ten). I get the feeling that he very much enjoyed his life in chess. https://web.archive.org/web/2007100... |
|
| Dec-26-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Carl Ahues. |

 | | Fusilli: How do you pronounce his last name? |
|
| Apr-22-20 | | Olavi: If I remember correctly, the Ahues family traces itself back to the Huguenots, so treat it as a French name. |
|
| Mar-18-22 | | FM David H. Levin: <Nosnibor:> The Berlin 1952 scores you posted seem to have an extra half-point on the plus side. Was the event scored differently from a conventional seven-player round robin? |
|
| Mar-18-22 | | Alan McGowan: The event referred to by <Nosnibor> in 2013, and commented on by <FM David H. Levin> was played in Bremen, not Berlin. It celebrated 75 years of the Bremer Schachgesellschaft. The scores given by <Nosnibor> are correct. Ahues defeated Dr Taube, Kuppe and Carls, drew with Rellstab and Brinckmann, and lost to Heemsoth. (Deutsche Schachzeitung, January 1953, p85.) |
|
| Mar-18-22 | | Z free or die: Yes, <Alan M> is correct on the tournament data (I used Di Felice, who used DSZ), with the small exception that <Nosibor>'s first post has a slight error: <7 Carls 1.5> is wrong <7 Carl 1> is correct. This explains the discrepancy <FM DHL> saw, as the total points should match the total games - which is 21 for a 7-player RR. [(n)(n-1)/2] Always good to have a xtab for checking; too bad <CG>'s formatting prohibits us copying plaintext verbatim style. |
