  • Chess in Europe in the 5Th Century? / Thomas Thomsen
    Chess in Europe in the 5th century? / Thomas Thomsen he Albanians Played Chess while Rome fell” is the headline of a press release by the Institute of World Archaeology, referring to an ivory object of 4 cm Tin height excavated at Butrint, Albania. Summarizing from the bulletin: “Butrint has been occupied since at least the 8th century BC and by the 4th century BC was an established walled settlement. It seems to have remained a small Roman port until the 6th century AD. After that, information appears to be scant. The release sug- gests – brushing aside any doubt – that the object is a chessman and that it dates to the 1st half of the 5th century. Professor Richard Hodges of the University of East Anglia is quoted as follows: “We are wondering if it is the king or queen because it has a little cross”. The description of the discovery reads: “During excava- tion of the late Roman phases of a palatial town house large urban palace, a small ivory gaming piece was found on the floor of one of the buildings, whose destruction and roof- collapse can be tightly dated to the third quarter of the 5th century. It may have fallen from the principal chamber of the house, located at first-storey level, a richly appointed reception room revetted in green-streaked cipollino marble. It must have been deposited shortly before the complex was demolished to provide material for the construction of the new expanded city wall, which almost abuts the mansion on its southern side. The piece stands only 4 cm high, and is of ivory, turned on a lathe.

  • 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.

Delegates stood in silence to remember those friends of FIDE who had died in the preceding year, amongst whom were: GM Robert James Fischer (USA) – World Champion Nicola Palladino (ITA) – Honorary Member GM Buhuti Gurgenidze (GEO) GM Karen Asrian (ARM) Philip Hogarty (IRL) –President of the Irish Chess Union Heinz Meurer – ICSC President Yosef Lapid – ex President of the Israeli Chess Federation GM Nino Kirov (BUL) IM William G. Addison (USA) 1. Report of the President. President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov presented his annual report. He reported on the activities since the last General Assembly. The period after the Turin Congress is remarkable because of the unification of the chess world which took place in October 2006 in Elista. The path to this goal had been very difficult and full of complications. The match itself was a difficult test for both sportsmen and FIDE. The course of the match created a lot of interest from mass media. Chess featured on the front pages of many large newspapers. It is clear that the interest in the match was, to a great extent, caused by “toiletgate”, but it attracted additional interest to chess.
