May-03-15 | | TheFocus: <I believe that chess possesses a magic that is also a help in old advanced age. A rheumatic knee is forgotten during a game of chess and other events can seem quite unimportant in comparison with a catastrophe on the chessboard> - Vlastimil Hort. |

Jan-12-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Vlastimil Hort! |

Jan-12-16 | | dark.horse: Couple of questions:
1) The dossier says "He is known for introducing the 'Hort system' of awarding prizes.". What is this? 2) Why doesn't Chessgames have that pronunciation thing for Hort? PS. Happy birthday GM Hort! |

1) The dossier says "He is known for introducing the 'Hort system' of awarding prizes.". What is this?> "Approach the victor with the trophy held in two (2) hands. Stand in front of him with the trophy held at stomach-level or higher. Take one (1) step, extend arms and give the trophy to the victor. When he has taken the trophy you could say a few words, such as, 'Well done' or 'You were either lucky or cheating.' Leave the stage quickly." |

 | | Troller: Hort prizing system is a way of evening out the prize structure in case of tied standings. Basically, everyone gets 50% of the prize according to their Sonnenborg-Berger standings, then the remaining 50% are split between all players sharing the same amount of points. So, if 3 players are tied for first in a tournament with these prizes: 1 100$
2 60$
3 40$
Then players are ranked according to SB and will receive 50% of the prize for respective SB-placing and the remaining 100$ will go into a pot that is split threeways among the 3 players. So payout will be 83$, 63$ and 53$ (the final dollar in such a situation goes to Herr Hort). |

Jan-12-19 | | diagonal: Health and happiness for Vlastimil Hort who turns 75 years. Those were the days: <At the USSR vs. Rest of the World match in Belgrade 1970 (ten boards, plus two substitutes each), Hort, born in 1944, was the youngest starter of all the 24 nominated players! Fischer the second youngest; Najdorf, born in 1910, the oldest player, followed by Botvinnik and Reshevsky.> Vlastimil Hort beat individually his highly reputated opponent Lev Polugaevsky with 2.5 to 1.5 on board four. At Wijk aan Zee (then Hoogovens), Vlastimil Hort, is a four times runner-up!, twice as clear second, twice as shared second; making it six podium finishes out of ten entries between 1968 and 1986. In the Tournament of 1975, Vlastimil Hort surpassed the two soviet players Geller and Furman as well as - in no particular order - Timman, Hübner, Gligoric, Browne, Smejkal, Kavalek, Sosonko, and the rest of the field, only half a point missing to clinch winner Portisch. Hort, in the 1970s a Candidate and top ten ranked player, is still occassionally active, his latest tournament was at the Basel Schachfestival 2019 (he is a regular participant in this New Year - Open series): http://www.schachfestivalbasel.com/... (Basler Zeitung, swiss daily newspaper, with a picture of Hort during the tournament) |
