Ende des 15.

Schmid Date: 23 October 2004 Venue: Sala Cabrera Present: Mr. David Jarrett (ENG), Mr. Ady Christophel (LUX), Mr. Gregorio Hernandez Santana (ESP), Mr. Robert Tanner (USA), Mr. Thanit Thamsukati (THA), Mr. Jerry Walsh (ENG), Mr. Nizar Elhaj (LBA), Cynthia Gyrney (ENG), Robert Gurney (ENG), Philip Viner (AUS). The participants of the meeting got the agenda and also the annual report of the FIDE Chess and Art Commission “Summary of the Chess Cultural Activities during the year 2003 and 2004” (both enclosed). The Chairman of the Commission closely worked together with CCI (Chess Collectors International), mainly with Dr. Thomas Thomsen and with the Emanuel Lasker Society in Berlin. We plan to establish a museum in Berlin for all items regarding the former World Champion Emanuel Lasker, perhaps together with the Michael Tal archive. A collection of very fine chessmen and a good part of the chess library from Lothar Schmid might be added. Furtheron we discussed matters connected with “Culture 2000” partners search for the annual project that is called Let´s Play Chess! The Culture of Game in Europe (Italy). The partner would be Dr. Elisabetta Lazzaro from the Brussels office. About Chess Philately and new cancellations Messrs. Jarrett and Christophel told about recent developments. The last point of the discussion was the fate of the former World Champion Bobby Fischer who went to jail in Japan. There were letters written from Boris Spassky and FIDE President Ilyumzhinov to the American President Bush, but up to now without success.

    PAWN SACRIFICE Screenplay by Steven Knight Story by Stephen J Rivele & Christopher Wilkinson and Steven Knight OVER BLACK: "Chess holds its master in its bonds, shackling the mind such that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer." - ALBERT EINSTEIN 1 EXT. GRANITE COUNTRY HOUSE - ICELAND - DAWN 1 In the grey dawn, a formidable house in the Icelandic wilderness. A single light burns in an upper window. Caption: Reykjavik, Iceland 4:15am. July 20th, 1972 In the distance, a POLICE CAR approaches, lights flashing. 2 INT. GRANITE COUNTRY HOUSE - ICELAND 2 CLOSE on a hand gripping the padded arm of an armchair. The index finger of the hand is PICKING at a thread. The HAND belongs to an intense young man with black hair swept back. He sits motionless, peering at a chess game which is a few moves old. The man is BOBBY FISCHER. A SINGLE FLY begins to buzz against the window. Bobby eyes the fly. The movement of his eyes is immense. Murderous. The thread he has been picking at suddenly TEARS with a THUNDEROUS RIPPING SOUND. The fly is trying to get out the window. 3 BOBBY'S PERCEPTION 3 The BUZZING of the fly is a howling hurricane from hell. 4 BACK TO AN OBJECTIVE VIEW OF THE ROOM 4 Silence. Bobby stalks the fly -- CRUSHING IT with a coffee cup. He sits back down in a business-like way and stares at the board again, his fingernail beginning to work another thread. HEADLIGHTS sweep the room and we HEAR a car door SLAM.

Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned. PB = paperback. SB = softback i.e. a flexible cover that cannot be torn easily.

Both were shaped by lucky coincidences, but also unexpected setbacks. Originally, it was conceived as a game collection supplemented by biographical data. Ultimately that chess book did not come about, due to insurmountable difficulties. Finally, under the panoply of a new publishing house, a positive resolution, hopefully also for the reader, emerged in the form of this biography.
