| Feb-22-06 | | ahmadov: Today's quote by this player sounds slightly odd to me.
(How can I accept a draw when I have no idea who stands better? (said during dire time trouble)) |

| Feb-22-06 | | hitman84: <Today's quote by this player sounds slightly odd to me>it just beats me!
<said during dire time trouble>did he really reply like this to his opponent's draw offer ? |
|
| Feb-22-06 | | ahmadov: On the other hand this quote can prove this man's respect to chess. Not being afraid of losing, he wanted to have the fairest result in his games. |

| Jul-16-06 | | percyblakeney: With for example Elisabeth Pähtz the letter ä is usually written ae in English (Elisabeth Paehtz) but with Sämisch it's for some reason a at for example Friedrich Samisch. |

 | | paulalbert: Quite right: Since Saemisch definitely has an umlaut ( two dots above the vowel in German ) on the a in his name, if you don't have an umlaut on the keyboard, the e belongs after the vowel in question. Paul Albert |

| Jun-15-07 | | Karpova: http://chesshistory.com/winter/wint... <<Can any reader throw light on the passage below about Fritz Sämisch which comes from page 87 of Koltanowski’s TV Chess?> ‘When he started in his first important tournament in Berlin, 1920, he took an hour for his first move, 25 minutes for his second move, 15 minutes for his third move, ten minutes for his fourth move, five minutes for his fifth move, and from then on, he would play the rest of the game in rapid-transit style, having only five minutes left for 35 moves. Most of his opponents used to go beserk [sic], waiting around for him to move. They wondered if he was up to something deep, or new, or was just balmy. But when Sämisch started to play rapid-transit chess, they would follow suit, because they felt Sämisch did not have much time on his clock. They were sure that if they played fast, he would soon blunder. But Fritz didn’t blunder. In fact, he was in his element and could outsmart most of the opponents in rapid play. Outcome? He would end up winning with great ease, with his opponent having something like an hour and 50 minutes left on his clock and a red face! Soon after his debut, participants would turn up with a detective book to calm their nerves while waiting for Sämisch to move and really slowed up when Sämisch started to rush matters!> |

===
Eröffnet einer wie Herr Sämisch
belächelt wird er heut sehr hämisch.
:D |
|
| Sep-20-07 | | whiteshark:
Am Schachbrett auch der Sämisch hängt
und alle Gegner hämisch senkt
er in den Grund – wie Rheinlachs!
Stets rang der wack’re Spielmann zäh,
wie zu des Sieges Ziel man späh’,
spielt er auch mal zum Schein lax.

| Dec-13-07 | | amadeus: From chesstrivia:
<Friedrich Samisch: Loser of more games of chess on time than any other master. In one tournament he lost all 13 games on time. He once spent 45 minutes before making his first move, got in time trouble and lost. In another event he lost a game on time in 13 moves. The time control was 45 minutes in 2 1/2 hours.> |
|
| Jun-03-08 | | Alphastar: <The time control was 45 minutes in 2 1/2 hours.>
Yes, that's going to be difficult indeed |
|
| Jun-12-08 | | hedgeh0g: <The time control was 45 minutes in 2 1/2 hours.> Now correct me if I'm wrong... |

| Mar-23-09 | | fred lennox: nimzowitch's comment after loosing to samisch i don't take seriously, wouldn't even be surprise if it wasn't true. In his book Carlsbad 1929 Nimzowitch describes Samisch as a deep thinking strategist. Doesn't sound like an idiot to me. |
|
| Apr-20-09 | | Sem: Donner wrote a nice paragraph on him. Sämisch in his latter days played Donner and of course lost on time. Donner: 'He remained still at the board when his flag had fallen, a sound so tiny that only real chess players can hear it. He said that something held him back from making the moves.' |
|
| Jun-15-09 | | capanegra: I found the following position from a game Samisch-Ahues (Hamburg 1946), in which Samisch won beautifully with a shocking move which explodes the theme of closing the enemy's lines. Does anybody recognize it and has the full score? White to play and win

| May-02-10 | | thegoodanarchist: He was married once. But after a long time away, he arrived home to find an invitation to lecture on chess. His suitcase was still packed, so he took off for the trip. When he returned home months later (!) he found that he was no longer married. |
