6495. Banks on MarshallPage 7 of Banks’ Blindfold Checker Masterpieces by Newell W. Banks (Philadelphia, 1947) quoted his view of F.J. Marshall:
6496. Quiz question (C.N. 6424)A last call for proposals concerning the question posed in C.N. 6424: what was the largest number of opponents ever faced by Morphy in a simultaneous exhibition? 6497. SignaturesFor readers who enjoy identifying signatures, we give another illustration from our collection (the 1982 Dover edition of Chernev’s book on Capablanca): 6498. G. LevenfishJavier Asturiano Molina (Murcia, Spain) asks about the correct spelling of Levenfish/Löwenfisch. Both are commonly seen, with a distinct
trend nowadays towards the former in many countries. The German
rendition ‘Löwenfisch’ or ‘Loewenfisch’ was particularly
common in English-language literature in the first half of the
twentieth century, although the BCM sometimes had
‘Lövenfisch’. The 1971 volume Dizionario
Enciclopedico degli Scacchi used ‘Levenfisch’. The last two
spellings mentioned may be regarded as non-standard. ![]() The above photograph was published in Chess Review, April 1947, page 9. 6499. Claim about JanowskyFrom an article ‘Tall Tales of Teetotalers’ by H. Kmoch and F. Reinfeld on pages 136-137 of the May 1952 Chess Review:
What are the grounds for asserting that such was Janowsky’s belief? Copyright: Edward Winter. All rights reserved. |
