  • 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.

    Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000) First Canadian Grandmaster ever. Born in 1925 in Brody, then Poland, he arrived the same year in Canada, as an eight months young baby. A child prodigy. Brilliant technical play, especially in the endgame. Prominent Winnipeg lawyer and city councillor, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Mayor of West Kildonan, Manitoba. Awarded the IM title in 1950 (the inaugural year), the GM title in 1964 and the International Arbiter title in 1977. The first chess player in the British Commonwealth to be awarded the Grandmaster title (Apart from German-born chess player Jacques Mieses who moved to England in the 1930s to escape Nazi persecution as a Jew. Mieses became a British citizen late in life, then received the title when FIDE first awarded the grandmaster title in 1950, Mieses was one of the 27 original recipients, and the oldest of them) Yanofsky was British Champion in 1953 and Canadian Champion on eight occasions: 1941 in 1943, 1945, 1947, 1953, 1959, 1963, 1965; his eight titles is a Canadian record (tied in closed tournaments with Maurice Fox). “Little Abie” or “Abe”, as the local newspapers called him soon, was a Child Prodigy. At age of 12, Yanofsky won the championship of Manitoba. He repeated every year through 1942, when nobody else even bothered to show up. Thereafter, Yanofsky was banned from further participation in the Manitoba provincial championship to encourage others to play in it :) At 14, was picked to play at board 2 for the Canadian Team in the Olympiad in Buenos Aires 1939.
