| Feb-10-07 | | sucaba: Good news for Mr. Pinoncelli, who had "interacted" with a work of Duchamp's art:

| Feb-10-07 | | laskereshevsky: From the duchamp's bio, (the brackets are my):<In 1925 he had his chances to become the French(!) chess champion of France(!?!?)> d'une chanson du seizième siècle dédiée à : Jacques II de Chabannes dit Jacques de la Palice (ou de la Palisse) **From a sixteenth's century song dedicated to:Jacques II of Chabannes says Jacques of Palice** « s'il n'était pas mort il ferait envie »
**"A quarter hour before his death/He was still quite alive",** se pas fortuit qui mons. DE LA PALISSE étaient Francaises...... **not accidentaly mr. DE LA PALISSE were french......** |

 | | Domdaniel: All perfectly rational. Alekhine was the Russian champion of France, and whoever won the championship was the French champion of France. In addition, the best-placed player using the Defence 1...e6 would have been the French French Champion of France. Very Cartesian minds, ont Les Francais. |
|
| May-07-07 | | Whitehat1963: <French French Champion of France.> LOL! As good as Capablanca was, how come there's no such thing as a "Cuban Opening" named for his sake? Had he played it, he could have become the Cuban Cuban Champion of Cuba! |
|
| May-07-07 | | technical draw: <Whitehat1963> There no Cuban Opening but Cubans say that when a weak player makes dumb opening moves he's playing "la apertura come mie-da...." |
|
| May-08-07 | | Whitehat1963: <la apertura come mie-da...."> LOL! You might call that a "Cuban Opening" or at least a "Cuban interpretation" of a bad opening. I can hear way too many relatives talking in my head! |
|
| May-09-07 | | technical draw: More Spanish Openings:
Sicilian=Sin Sentido
Frances=Fracasé
Ruy Lopez=Muy Torpe

| Jun-02-07 | | SBC: Art history lovers:
I've noted several references that claim that Dorothea Tanning seduced, or was seduced by, Max Ernst initially during a game of Chess. While this doesn't seem in the least improbable, does anyone know if there is any actual substantiation to that claim? |
|
| Jun-03-07 | | vonKrolock: <SBC> If it's not true, it was benn well concealed :) - thousands of references about Ernst-Tanning-Chess on-line (and also Schach, and Échecs) - many with seduction, or séduction or Verführung - a word used too for "try in a chess composition" ... If I found something , I'll post here, with pleasure. a review of the film "8x8"
<"Titel :
"8 x 8."
( A Chess Sonata in 8 Movements )
Regie, Buch & Schnitt: Hans Richter | Musik: Robert Abramson, John Gruen, Douglas Townsend | mit Hans Arp, Paul Bowles, Alexander Calder, Julius Carlebach, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, Dorothea Tanning, Max Ernst | USA 1952 – 57 | 70 Min. | OF |
Inhalt:
8 x 8 ist ein weiteres Spätwerk von Hans Richter, einem der ganz großen deutschen Avantgardisten der 20er Jahren, auch diesen Film realisierte er im Exil in der USA.
8 X 8, das Schachbrett auf dem das Spiel der Gegensätze der Zu- und Umfälle, der Könige und Bauern, der Frauen und Männer, der Rückzüge und Erfolge, der unendlichen Kombinationen des Lebens vorgeführt wird. Auch in diesem Film in acht Episoden geht es Richter darum, die Kraft innerer Wirklichkeit sichtbar zu machen. Fast noch raffinierter als die Farbe wird hier der Ton eingesetzt. In einer Episode werden die Geräusche einer Verkehrsstockung am Broadway mit den Bewegungen von Calders Mobiles zu einer Einheit verknüpft. Jean Cocteau spielt in einer von ihm selbst gestalteten Szene den Bauern, der beim Erreichen des achten Feldes in eine Königin verwandelt wird. Diesen Vorgang untermalt Richter mit Sätzen aus einem Schachbuch, die in verschiedenen Sprachen und Rhythmen, vorwärts und rückwärts, durcheinander und schließlich unisono gesprochen werden."> and here photos, also of the couple playing Chess, and of the sculpture "Roi jouant avec la Reine" http://www.hans-feichtinger.de/feic... |

Well, I've learned that repeating a fallacy 1000x doesn't seem to increase its veracity. Tanning, who was born in 1910 and is still living, became a writer. Some of her writings were autobiographical, at least in part. I was hoping someone may have seen a reference by her to this assertion, or perhaps one by either her or Ernst in an interview at some point in time. Even a mention of this by someone who knew them well would suffice. Thanks!

| Jun-08-07 | | vonKrolock: <SBC> Maybe Mrs. Tanning herself could provide some precision about that, well i keep stiring in the search pages, trying to discover something new :) - In another side, I'm sorry to relate that, already since the Monte Carlo 1902 days (I mean from Your article on MC 1902 on - lol) my computer can not access Your articles any more - the link to the "archives by title" appears, but the new entries, for instance those from May 2007are not been loaded - maybe is only me?! - I tried already from another computer, in a coffee-house, and ahd not success too (in this way, I can not, for instance see actually Your article on Erbo...) |

< THE RIDDLE OF DUCHAMP > = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
by Alexander Beliavsky
and Adrian Mikhalchishin |
|
| Jul-14-07 | | whiteshark: Part I
<Marcel Duchamp is an enigmatic figure both in the world of chess and in the world of art. Art historicans to this day argue about his place in the hierarchy of contemporary art, and chess players find it hard to understand why a successful artist threw down his brush to become a professional chess player for thirty years.> |
|
| Jul-14-07 | | whiteshark: Part II
Duchamp played for France in the Olympics four times, published an endgame book about the <theory of corresponding squares> with the well-known theoretican V Halberstadt, and featured his favourite game in many of his pictures, the majority of which are displayed in famous museums such as the <New York Museum of Modern Art> and the <Paris National Museum>. |
|
| Jul-14-07 | | whiteshark: Part III
He composed one enigmatic study but never gave the solution. In the 1980s the magazine < Chess Life and Review > published a discussion with the participation of Grandmaster Larry Melvyn Evans, reaching the conclusion that there is no win. The author of an article in the soviet magazine <64> from 1990 came to the same conclusion: there is no solution. We [Beliavsky/Mikhalchishin] believe, however, that the truth of the < riddle of Duchamp > can be found. |

| Jul-14-07 | | SBC: I've spend almost every free minute in a past 2 months working on a project called "Chess and the Surrealists." The result is a very large page (actually about 40 extremely large pages) about the interactions between the Surrealist artists during the time between and including the two great wars and the common threads that act as motifs in that movement... with Chess being a major motif....Duchamp, another. It's a little gossipy, but Chess takes the front row seat. Anyway, before I publish the thing online, I wanted to throw it out amongst the wonderful and intelligent members here and hopefully get some critical (bad or good) feedback. http://sbchess.sinfree.net/Imagery_... |
