  • Oral History of Hans Berliner
    Oral History of Hans Berliner Interviewed by: Gardner Hendrie Recorded: March 7, 2005 Riviera Beach, Florida Total Running Time: 2:33:00 CHM Reference number: X3131.2005 © 2005 Computer History Museum CHM Ref: X3131.2005 © 2005 Computer History Museum Page 1 of 65 Q: Who has graciously agreed to do an oral history for the Computer History Museum. Thank you very much, Hans. Hans Berliner: Oh, you’re most welcome. Q: O.k. I think where I’d like to start is maybe a little further back than you might expect. I’d like to know if you could share with us a little bit about your family background. The environment that you grew up in. Your mother and father, what they did. Your brothers and sisters. Hans Berliner: O.k. Q: Where you were born. That sort of thing. Hans Berliner: O.k. I was born in Berlin in 1929, and we immigrated to the United States, very fortunately, in 1937, to Washington, D.C. As far as the family goes, my great uncle, who was my grandfather’s brother, was involved in telephone work at the turn of the previous century. And he actually owned the patent on the carbon receiver for the telephone. And they started a telephone company in Hanover, Germany, based upon his telephone experience. And he, later on, when Edison had patented the cylinder for recording, he’d had enough experience with sound recording that he said, “that’s pretty stupid”. And he decided to do the recording on a disc, and he successfully defended his patent in the Supreme Court, and so the patent on the phono disc belongs to Emile Berliner, who was my grand uncle.

  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.

    A GUIDE TO SCHOLASTIC CHESS (11th Edition Revised June 26, 2021) PREFACE Dear Administrator, Teacher, or Coach This guide was created to help teachers and scholastic chess organizers who wish to begin, improve, or strengthen their school chess program. It covers how to organize a school chess club, run tournaments, keep interest high, and generate administrative, school district, parental and public support. I would like to thank the United States Chess Federation Club Development Committee, especially former Chairman Randy Siebert, for allowing us to use the framework of The Guide to a Successful Chess Club (1985) as a basis for this book. In addition, I want to thank FIDE Master Tom Brownscombe (NV), National Tournament Director, and the United States Chess Federation (US Chess) for their continuing help in the preparation of this publication. Scholastic chess, under the guidance of US Chess, has greatly expanded and made it possible for the wide distribution of this Guide. I look forward to working with them on many projects in the future. The following scholastic organizers reviewed various editions of this work and made many suggestions, which have been included. Thanks go to Jay Blem (CA), Leo Cotter (CA), Stephan Dann (MA), Bob Fischer (IN), Doug Meux (NM), Andy Nowak (NM), Andrew Smith (CA), Brian Bugbee (NY), WIM Beatriz Marinello (NY), WIM Alexey Root (TX), Ernest Schlich (VA), Tim Just (IL), Karis Bellisario and many others too numerous to mention.
