    Mirotvor Schwartz CHESS HISTORY ON STAMPS (PRE-1890) This is a part of my “CHESS HISTORY ON STAMPS” thematic exhibit. It covers events that took place before the 1890s (from the beginning of time to 1889). 1497 Luis Ramirez de Lucena (Spain) published in Salamanca the oldest known chess book, Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con 101 Juegos de Partido (Repetition of Love and the Art of Playing Chess). 1749 Francois Andre Danican Philidor (France) published the first edition of his famous book Analyse du jeu des Échecs (The Analysis of the Game of Chess). 1 1755 In 1755, Francois-Andre Danican Philidor (France) won a match against Francois Antoine de Legall de Kermeur (France) and became the unofficial world champion. Philidor’s reign lasted until his death in 1795. Simultaneous Blindfold Exhibition 1783 (London) Count John M Bruehl (England) - Francois Andre Danican Philidor (France) 0:1 Philidor’s opponents - Philidor ½ : 2½. (Philidor played three opponents simultaneously without looking at the board. His opponents all played with White pieces, and one of them also had a one-pawn advantage (Philidor had removed his “f” pawn before the game even started). It was a remarkable achievement by 18th-century standards) 2 1795-1802 Some chess historians (including the person who designed this stamp) consider Domenico Ercole del Rio (Modena) the unofficial world champion in 1795-1802. 1821-40 In 1821, Louis-Charles Mahe de La Bourdonnais (France) defeated his teacher Alexandre Deschapelles (France) and became the unofficial world champion. La Bourdonnais’ reign lasted until his death in 1840.

  • Joseph Henry Blackburne
    LECTURA DE AJEDREZ I: JOSEPH HENRY BLACKBURNE (10/12/1841–01/09/1924) LA LEYENDA Fue un jugador apodado “La muerte negra”, quien dominó el ajedrez británico durante la última parte del siglo 19. Aprendió a la edad de 18, pero progresó rápidamente y dio cabida a una carrera profesional de ajedrez de más de 50 años. Él llegó a ser el segundo jugador más fuerte del mundo, dio simultáneas y demostraciones a la ciega. Llegó a publicar una colección de sus propios juegos. Comenzó jugando lo que llamamos “tablero” o damas, pero debido a que escuchó hablar sobre Morphy cambió a jugar ajedrez y visitó el Club de Ajedrez de Manchester en 1861. Ahí perdió contra Eduard Pindar, a quien derrotó un año después para proclamarse campeón de la ciudad, incluso delante de Bernhard Horwitz, quien había sido su mentor en la teoría. Incursionó en el ajedrez a la ciega después de que recibiera una derrota en esta modalidad de parte de Louis Paulsen. Tiempo después Joseph jugó contra otros tres jugadores a la ciega, y fue incrementando este número. En 1862 incursionó en el ajedrez profesional derrotando a Wilhelm Steinitz en el Torneo Internacional de Londres, pero quedando noveno en la competición. Sugirió el uso de relojes de ajedrez en las competiciones. Era el jugador más fuerte de Inglaterra en 1870, y de hecho, en el Torneo de Baden-Baden de ese mismo año, quedó en tercer jugar con Gustav Neumann, detrás de Adolfg Anderseen y Wilhelm Steinitz, pero delante de jugadores como Paulsen, De Vere, Winawer, Rosenthal y Von Minckwitz.

  • FIDE Chess Network 1 Introduction
    AUSTRIAN JOURNAL OF STATISTICS Volume 40 (2011), Number 4, 225–239 FIDE Chess Network Kristijan Breznik1 and Vladimir Batagelj2 1 International School for Social and Business Studies, Celje, Slovenia 2 Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Ljubljana, Slovenia Abstract: The game of chess has a long and rich history. In the last century it has been closely connected to the world chess federation FIDE1. This paper analyses all of the rated chess games published on the FIDE website from January 2008 to September 2010 with network analytic methods. We discuss some players and game properties, above all the portion of games played between the world’s best chess players and the frequency of games among countries. Additionally, our analysis confirms the already known advantage of white pieces in the game of chess. We conclude that some modifications in the current system should appear in the near future. Zusammenfassung: Das Schachspiel hat als Spiel eine lange, abwechslungs- reiche Geschichte, die im letzten Jahrhundert mit dem Weltschachbund FIDE eng verbunden ist. In diesem Artikel analysieren wir alle bewerteten und veroffentlichten¨ Spiele der FIDE Webseite von Januar 2008 bis September 2010 unter Verwendung von Netzwerkanalysen. Wir diskutieren einige Spie- ler und die Eigenschaften der Spiele, vor allem den Anteil der Schachspiele zwischen den besten Schachspielern der Welt und die Haufigkeit¨ der Spiele zwischen verschiedenen Landern.¨ Unsere Analyse bestatigt¨ den bekannten Vorteil im Spiel fur¨ denjenigen, der die weißen Figuren besitzt. Schließlich kommen wir zur Feststellung, dass in naher Zukunft einige Veranderungen¨ am aktuellen System verlangt werden sollten. Keywords: Chess, FIDE, Network Analysis, Elo Rating System.

    1.9.13 Berlin 1881 chess tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin 1881 chess tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Deutscher Schachbund (DSB, the German Chess Federation) had been founded in Leipzig on July 18, 1877. When the next meeting took place in the Schützenhaus, Leipzig on July 15, 1879, sixty-two clubs had become members of the federation. Hofrat Dr. Rudolf von Gottschall became Chairman and Hermann Zwanzig the General Secretary.[1] When foreign players were invited to Berlin in 1881, an important and successful formulae was completed. A master tournament was organised every second year, and Germans could partake in many groups and their talents qualified for master tournaments by a master title in the Hauptturnier.[2] The Berlin 1881 chess tournament (the second DSB Congress,2.DSB-Kongreß), organised by Hermann Zwanzig and Emil Schallopp, took place in Berlin from August 29 to September 17, 1881.[3] The brightest lights among the German participants were Louis Paulsen, his brother Wilfried Paulsen, and Johannes Minckwitz. Great Britain was represented by Joseph Henry Blackburne, the United States by James Mason, a master from Ireland. Mikhail Chigorin travelled from Russia, and two great masters from Poland: Szymon Winawer and Johannes Zukertort, also participated. Karl Pitschel, from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, arrived and played his games in the first three rounds, but was unable to complete the tournament. The eighteen collected masters constituted a field of strength that had not been seen since

  • International Chess Tournaments Part of WORLD EXPOSITION
    International chess tournaments part of WORLD EXPOSITION Reprint of the great original from Jan van Reek (1945-2015), www.endgame.nl (site inactive) World exhibitions (synonym: World Fairs, sometimes called expo or Expo for short) became a new phenomenon in the West in the 19th century. International travel strongly developed after the discovery of the steam engine. Comfortable journeys became possible for the upper-middle-class. International transport improved rapidly. Steam boats crossed the Channel at the beginning of the 19th century. A railway net existed half-a-century later. International gatherings were stimulated. Industrialisation, scientific and technical progress were shown, and cultural exchange developed. About a dozen World Fairs were organised during the second half of the nineteenth century. Seven times an international chess tournament *of note* was part of the world exposition: London 1851, London 1862, Paris 1867, Vienna 1873, Philadelphia 1876, Paris 1878, Paris 1900 Survey: The winners of international invitation chess tournaments part of World Exposition London 1851 Adolf Anderssen (Germany), tournament in knock-out format London 1862 Adolf Anderssen (Germany) Paris 1867 Ignatz von Kolisch (Austro-Hungarian Empire, Slovakia) Vienna 1873 Wilhelm Steinitz (Bohemia) after play-off (2–0) versus shared first Joseph Henry Blackburne (England) Philadelphia 1876 James Mason (Ireland/USA), it was also the 4th American Chess Congress Paris 1878 The event was won by Johannes Zukertort (German Empire / Poland) and Szymon Winawer
