Among the younger players, the Peruvian, E. Canal, who lives in Italy, and the Belgian champion, E. Colle, are to be mentioned in the first line. Each of them seeks a way to perfection by a path shown to him by his natural temperament. The South American, whose sparkling eyes and Indian profile attract attention, has presented himself in this tournament mainly as a cautious endgame player. Canal lacks perseverance and Colle physical health. I have suspended final judgment so far about Miss Vera Menchik of Russia, because the greatest caution and objectivity in criticism are necessary regarding anyone so extraordinary. However, after 15 rounds it is certain that she is an absolute exception in her sex. She is so highly talented for chess that with further work and experience at tournaments she will surely succeed in developing from her present stage of an average player into a high classed international champion. She indisputably has attained her three points against the strong masters, but it is little known to the public that she has also attained superior positions against Euwe, Treybal, Colle and Dr Vidmar. She was beaten by Dr Vidmar only after a nine-hour match. His double defeat in this tournament is hardly retrievable. He probably will have to be content with moral success. However, Bogoljubow should not be deprecated. In a medium tournament at Dortmund in he attained only 50 per cent success, and afterward at Kissingen he was first, ahead of Capablanca and Spielmann. It would be a great mistake if in the next big match his opponent would permit himself to immoderate optimism. He has sufficient chess abilities to remain at the head of this match. But it is admitted that Capablanca, who is on an equal standing with him after the 15th game, perhaps has greater chances morally. Besides, Spielmann, Vidmar and Nimzowitsch are in a dangerous neighborhood. Nimzowitsch was lucky enough to win against Marshall when he was exposed to defeat. The last third of the tournament promises, in regard to sport, to be the most exciting. Therefore there was a great surprise when it became known, after 20 minutes of play against F. This game, which naturally lost all artistic value, was dragged by Capablanca to the 60th move. However, the inevitable at last happened. While such a mistake never has happened to masters of a less high class, such as A. Nimzowitsch of Denmark and Dr Vidmar of Yugoslavia, in their long careers, negligence with Capablanca is sporadical and nearly typical. Just remember the St Petersburg game with Tarrasch, the New York test with Chajes, the London match in with Morrison, the Moscow test of against Werlinsky, the 12th game at Buenos Aires in and the Kissingen match of the same year against Spielmann. Possibly big achievements may be expected of this agreeable German master, who won third prize in the tourney here, leaving a number of the bigger masters behind, and won two first prizes last year, losing not one of 42 games. That the hopes placed in him in this tourney may not be realized is due — paradoxical as it sounds — according to the observation of the author of this article, to an excessive use of nicotine. Certainly a cigarette has a soothing effect for a moment. However, a player deep in thought and excited is easily apt to smoke too much, thus, in the first line, spoiling his memory and ruining his nerves and his power of resistance. Only when I rid myself of the passion for cigarettes did I attain enough confidence to win the world championship. Naturally some of the masters showed signs of fatigue in the second half of the tournament, mainly Dr Max Euwe of Holland and Dr Vidmar. The latter does not seem as yet to have overcome the defeat by Professor A. Becker of Austria. He also seems not to have had sufficient experience in tournaments, otherwise he would know that defeat itself is not to be feared in a large tourney but rather its physical effects. Another, besides the experienced tournament player Capablanca, proved that he is fully conversant with modern chess tactics and that is the Polish grand master, Akiba Rubinstein. All the admirers of this genius of chess will be pleased to hear this. His innovations in the opening theory and his masterly ability to find microscopic advantages in the final game have procured him a place of high honor in the chess hierarchy. Then came the World War. In the post-War tournaments was Rubinstein quite changed. He no longer was the calm, methodical strategist who was able to turn the faults, almost imperceptible, of even the greatest players in his favor, but a man who apparently decided to replace his nerves, ruined during the years of the War, with a new temperament in his game. Hereby he obtained an exceedingly large number of brilliancy prizes — at the Teplitz tournament he won five such prizes — but this system did not prove successful for any length of time. In and he suffered heavy defeats and had to change his system again. Luckily he has succeeded. He has realized the necessity of balancing the modern theories of chess with his special talent. That this is the correct point of view is shown in this tournament. As this is being written there still are three rounds to be played. A finish seldom has been so exciting as this one. The difference of a half a point between the three first-named is almost zero. Other winners of prizes lent significance to the tournament. That was a finish. From the first to the last move he was unable to do anything against the attack. It was all the harder for the Cuban to lose this encounter as his other competitor in the finishing phase showed an extraordinary playing disposition. Spielmann took the lead at the beginning and kept it during the first half of the tournament. Capablanca gained ground according to his manner, slowly and apparently surely. Nimzowitsch played his speed and had a very narrow victory. The widest circles expected Capablanca to win although he often disappointed his adherents last year. Right at the beginning of the tournament, he pleased his friends with a genuine game against Bogoljubow, who was a dangerous opponent. Then he showed some uncertainty which caused some dull draws and the sole loss of one game against Yates. Driven back to the middle tournament list, he patiently waited for something to occur to give him back his self-confidence and incite him to a new maximum of achievement. He actually received such incitement from his miraculous rescue in the game with Dr Euwe. It was in the ninth round when, in promising position, the Dutch precedent player permitted himself to be checkmated by a gross trap by Nimzowitsch, who suddenly advanced to the first line, where he remained. Nevertheless, four rounds before the finish, his prospects of attaining first prize were still poor. Not only was it a fact that he won three and one-half encounters of these four games, but he did so in emphatic and deep style, worthy of a first prize winner of such a significant tournament. If in addition one considers what Nimzowitsch attained against other winners, by far the best result — four victories, three draws — then his success must be of higher value than the advance points, which at first glance only appear small. In a preliminary article of the Carlsbad tournament we referred to Nimzowitsch as an advocate of a real artistic line. Everything changed with the Russian revolution of The Menchiks found themselves in the middle of a civil war and living under a regime which treated even moderate wealth with suspicion. The mill was confiscated. The family was required to share their house with others and eventually lost it altogether. Private schools were no more, so Vera had to switch to a public school. It was in these difficult years that Menchik started to play chess. Her father taught her the rules when she was nine, and later she played in a school tournament. In the autumn of , the Menchiks finally left Russia. They settled in St. For the girls who grew up with the privations of post-Revolutionary Russia, England must have felt like a different planet. Vera later recalled what struck her the most when she first came to England:. The way the milk bottles can be left outside houses; that would be impossible in Russia—they would be stolen. It was in England that Menchik took up chess in earnest. As she explained, part of the reason was her poor command of the language:. I have often been asked, what made me think seriously about chess? It would appear that the atmosphere of silence and heavy smoking is not appropriate for a young lady. In other life circumstances, it would not occur to me to spend time in such a way, but chess is a quiet game and therefore the best hobby for a person who cannot speak the language properly. In , Vera joined Hastings Chess Club and put in a lot of work into studying chess. She also started taking private lessons. Her first chess coach was a local player, John A. Drewitt, who taught her the closed openings. The Hastings and St. Leonards Observer April 25, mentions that Menchik played about 20 games against the grandmaster. At first Menchik mostly played in the club competitions and team matches, making steady progress from the bottom boards to the top ones. She was lucky to live in a town that was famous for its chess tournaments. By this point, Menchik had already established herself as the strongest woman player in the world. It was the second of the famous Hamilton Russell Cups; the first of which still serves as the main prize at each Olympiad. She successfully defended her title in six more championship tournaments and one match, winning most of them by a large margin. They played a short friendly match in and another for the World Championship title in Menchik won both. The closest Graf came to the title was at the World Championship tournament, where she finished two points behind Menchik, but only after losing a winning position in their head-to-head encounter. In , she successfully played in a few tournaments in England and scored her first victories over acknowledged masters. It was a Scheveningen-style competition, in which a British team was pitted against the overseas visitors. Nevertheless, her result was a sensation, and on the wave of her success, she received invitations to two major international tournaments, a small round-robin in Paris and then Carlsbad , arguably the strongest chess tournament since the end of World War I. Of the strongest players in the world, only Alekhine and Lasker were absent. It was a first super-tournament for Menchik, and everyone expected her to finish last. The only question was how many points, if any, she would be able to score. Salo Flohr recalled the atmosphere of Carlsbad in an article that was published in the Soviet journal 64 several decades later No. There are always plenty of big mouths among the chess players. There were many of them at Carlsbad as well. Carlsbad chess tournament - Wikipedia

It was a first super-tournament for Menchik, and everyone expected her to finish last. The only question was how many points, if any, she would be able to score. Salo Flohr recalled the atmosphere of Carlsbad in an article that was published in the Soviet journal 64 several decades later No. There are always plenty of big mouths among the chess players. There were many of them at Carlsbad as well. Austrians are fond of jokes and humor. Menchik must have felt sorry for Kmoch: she scored exactly three points. I attended the tournament as a journalist. The atmosphere was friendly. I suggest forming a club named after Vera Menchik. Those who will manage to lose a game to her will become full members of the club. Those who draw will only be considered as candidates for membership. Guess what? You can imagine the laughter in the evening! You are hereby elected as the President of Vera Menchik Club! In the end, Menchik only scored three points from 21 games at Carlsbad, but her performance was still regarded a success. Alexander Alekhine, who published a series of articles on the tournament in The New York Times , wrote the following at the end of round I have suspended final judgment so far about Miss Vera Menchik of Russia, because the greatest caution and objectivity in criticism are necessary regarding any one so extraordinary. However, after fifteen games, it is certain that she is an absolute exception in her sex. She is so highly talented for chess that with further work and experience at tournaments, she will surely succeed in developing from her present stage of an average player into a high-classed international champion. She indisputably has attained her three points against the strong masters, but it is little known to the public that she also has attained superior positions against Euwe, Treybal, Colle and Dr. She was beaten by Dr. Vidmar only after a nine-hour match. At her next tournament, Barcelona , she scored seven points from 14 games, securing the last of the eight prizes. It was hailed as the first time a woman had won a prize in a master-level tournament. Over the next 15 years, Menchik played in a few dozen tournaments with the men. However, in the second-tier tournaments, Menchik would often finish at the top. She routinely lost to the strongest players, but that only gave her occasional victories or draws more weight. For example, Menchik only scored three draws at Moscow , losing the other 16 games. However, her draw with Salo Flohr played a big role in the final table, as Flohr failed to secure clear first prize, instead sharing it with Mikhail Botvinnik. She could blunder anything to anyone, but she was not unique in that. In fact, it was the main difference between grandmasters and masters in pre-war years: grandmasters were more consistent, while regular masters were prone to bouts of tactical blindness. Despite living in England for many years, Menchik was considered a foreigner until the late s and was thus ineligible for the national competitions. Vera Menchik finally became a British citizen after marrying Rufus H. Stevenson in Her husband was 28 years her senior and was deeply involved in chess as a player and tournament organizer. It was the second marriage for Mr. She died in a macabre incident on the way to her fourth World Championship: she walked into an aircraft propeller at Poznan airport. Stevenson suffered from ill health and died in Sadly she outlived her husband by less than a year. On June 26, a German V-1 flying bomb hit the London house where Vera lived together with her sister and the mother, instantly killing all three of them. In the aftermath of her death, chess journals in Britain and all over the world printed obituaries and articles about Vera Menchik. One might expect that a great number of articles and books were published about her, but unfortunately this is not the case. For almost 60 years it was the only book about Vera Menchik, but then in two different biographies of Vera Menchik appeared — one by Robert B. This is a big step forward, but still it is safe to assume that few people have access to these books or have seen any games of Vera Menchik. One cannot help but wonder why so little has been written about the best woman player of the first half of the 20th century. At a time when women were still largely looked down upon and did not even have voting rights in many countries, the appearance of a strong woman chess player challenged the status quo. Oddly, even the women sometimes joined in ridiculing Menchik, perhaps unwittingly. Finally, it did not help that Menchik was considered a foreigner in every country that she had a connection with. Britain never completely accepted her because she was not born there, she could not speak Czech despite representing that country in tournaments, and she was not Russian, despite speaking the language from birth. Menchik did not belong anywhere she went. She was the ultimate outsider and that is largely why she was not championed by any country even posthumously. All these circumstances conspired to make Menchik a target of constant scorn and ridicule, which she withstood stoically, thanks to her naturally calm and reserved temperament. However, they must have taken a toll. We shall never know how many points it all cost her and what she could have achieved if she did not have to endure such indignities. The additional handicaps that Menchik had to overcome are rarely mentioned, but they make her achievements all the more impressive. Vera Menchik paved the way for women in chess, and she did it a time when it was almost impossible. I also published a series of blog posts on Chess. FM ddtru.
