  • 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.

  • Galería De Maestros (37) Wolfgang Uhlmann En El Ajedrez La Defensa
    Galería de Maestros (37) Wolfgang Uhlmann En el ajedrez la Defensa Francesa está ligada indisolublemente al alemán Wolfgang Uhlmann, (Dresde, 29 de marzo de 1935), que hoy cumple 76 años. “Cuando se juega bien La Defensa Francesa es una verdadera delicia, es siempre interesante y lleva a luchas extremadamente complejas” dice Uhlmann en el prólogo a su libro “Winning with the French”, donde analiza 60 de sus mejores partidas con su defensa predilecta, fruto de sus 40 años defendiéndola. El libro se publicó por primera vez en 1991 en alemán y luego en otros idiomas, desde 2006 existe la versión en castellano (Editorial Hispano Europea) Con ella ha derrotado entre otros a Robert Fischer, Leonid Stein, David Bronstein, Efim Geller, Robert Byrne, Isaac Boleslavsky, e infinidad de maestros. También fue un experto en la Defensa Gruenfeld y la Defensa India del Rey, pero su legado no fue tan importante como en la Defensa Francesa. Claro que no es el único maestro que aportó ideas importantes a esta defensa, de inmediato vienen a la memoria los nombres de Viktor Korchnoi, Mikhail Botvinnik, Aarón Nimzovich, y muchos otros, pero Uhlmann la jugó en exclusividad, su maestría era tal que el ex campeón del mundo Anatoly Karpov, en la plenitud de su carrera, lo tuvo como su consejero en la Defensa Francesa. Era el número 1 de la extinta RDA, o Alemania Oriental, de la que fue campeón nacional en 11 ocasiones, desde 1954 a 1986, y a la que representó en 11 olimpiadas, casi todas como primer tablero, desde Moscú 1956 hasta Novi Sad 1990, esa fue la última vez en que Alemania se presentó separada a una cita internacional.
