Was a German Chess Master. He Participated Many Times in Berlin Otto Wegemund Otto Wegemund (1870 – 5 October 1928) was a German chess master. He participated many times in Berlin City Chess Championship; took 6th in 1906 (Erich Cohn won), took 10th in 1908 (Wilhelm Cohn won), took 10th in 1910 (Carl Ahues won), tied for 7-8th in 1920 (Ernst Schweinburg won), tied for 5-6th in 1924 (Ahues and Richard Teichmann won), shared 4th in 1925 (Friedrich Sämisch won), and tied for 9-10th in 1927 (Berthold Koch won).[1] He also played several times in the DSB Congress. Among others, he shared 6th at Coburg 1904 (Hauptturnier B, Hans Fahrni won), took 9th at Breslau 1912 (Hauptturnier B, Paul Krüger won), shared 1st with Wilhelm Hilse at Hamburg 1921 (Hauptturnier B), tied for 8-10th at Bad Oeynhausen 1922 (Ehrhardt Post won),[2] and took 8th at Frankfurt 1923 (Ernst Grünfeld won).[3] In other tournaments, he took 5th at Berlin 1917 (Walter John and Paul Johner won),[4] took 2nd, behind John, at Breslau 1918,[5] and took 11th at Berlin 1920 (Alexey Selezniev won).

Mikhail Chigorin (1850-1908) también considerado como el padre de la escuela rusa de ajedrez, el que a la sazón escribía notas sobre ajedrez para ese medio especializado, sin duda debe haber intercedido por medio del director de La Stratégie, Numa Preti, recomendando al joven, poco conocido en ese entonces, Alexey Troitzky, pero que era participe de los círculos ajedrecísticos de San Petersburgo; siendo estudiante en dicha ciudad se vinculó con Chigorin y eso sin duda fue fundamental para su progreso en el ajedrez y en la composición en particular.

    Karlsbad series Extended reprint from the great original HEALTH RESORTS by Jan van Reek (1945 - 2015), www.endgame.nl (inactive). There were four famous Carlsbad chess tournaments, in 1907, 1911, 1923, and 1929, under the excellent supervision of Viktor Tietz, Senior Tax Inspector and President of the Carlsbad chess organization. Viktor Tietz (Photo: Wikipedia) Prior, Karlsbad already hosted a match between Albin and Marco in 1901 (full story: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=88083), and another match between Janowski and Schlechter in 1902. The same year, in 1902, Viktor Tietz himself won a Triangular above 2. David Janowski, and 3. Moritz Porges, played in Karlsbad. Karlsbad (Carlsbad), today Karlovy Vary, is a famous central-European spa and resort. It was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918, then part of Czechoslovakia, today: Czech Republic respectively, and called Karlovy Vary. Karlovy Vary or Carlsbad (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkarlovɪ ˈvarɪ] ( listen); German: Karlsbad; Karlsbad) is a spa town situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the קרלסבאד :Yiddish approximately 130 km (81 miles) west of Prague (Praha), near the German-Czech border. It is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River), and the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic.

  • The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants
    THE CLASSIFIED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHESS VARIANTS I once read a story about the discovery of a strange tribe somewhere in the Amazon basin. An eminent anthropologist recalls that there was some evidence that a space ship from Mars had landed in the area a millenium or two earlier. ‘Good heavens,’ exclaims the narrator, are you suggesting that this tribe are the descendants of Martians?’ ‘Certainly not,’ snaps the learned man, ‘they are the original Earth-people — it is we who are the Martians.’ Reflect that chess is but an imperfect variant of a game that was itself a variant of a germinal game whose origins lie somewhere in the darkness of time.

  • Introduction in the Year 1840, Our Continent, in Terms of Chess, Was A
    Introduction In the year 1840, our continent, in terms of chess, was a wasteland. Certainly there were important chess masters and self-sacrificing chess devotees at that time, but their intentions and yearnings had no possibility of being realized. The intellectual seeds that were to be sown remained in a latent state. It was reserved for a later time to bring them to flower and ripeness. The muzzling of the various chess clubs and of the press made the exchange of ideas for the most part impossible. The exorbitant postage fees at that time made the sending of letters a privilege of the rich. The book trade—today a world-transforming power—was still in its infancy. The publication of books was therefore a very risky venture for the publisher and for the author a hardly sensible enterprise. Consequently, new ideas could find only a limited distribution. The result was the complete stagnation of intellectual life in all fields. The launching of a chess column in the Leipzig Illustrirten Zeitung (1846), and, in a few years, the founding of the Deutsche Schachzeitung , signified the beginning of a new era in the art of chess. It was an occasion to rejoice (a fact that probably can no longer be appreciated by today’s generation) when the Austrian censor board graciously permitted their beloved “subjects,” who up to that time had been limited to the meager diet of the official Wiener Zeitung , the additional reading matter in the Leipzig Illustrirten. This paper and the Deutsche Schachzeitung were the centers around which the scattered atoms of the chess world became crystallized.
