At 16, he boarded a merchant ship as a seaman, visiting China, Japan and the Philippines. In 1927 was back in Portland, he attended high school and learned the game from a Russian. Seafaring wanderings resumed, in 1929 he landed in New York and began playing at a Coney Island booth where the public could challenge him for 25 cents per game.
In 1930 he joined the New York State Championship, finishing in third place, and in 1931 he won the Marshall Chess Club Championship Thanks to these results was drafted into the U.S. Olympic team of 1931 (Prague) where he obtained a good + 5 = 7 -2 in the third game board. That same year he was the first (ex aequo with Rubinstein and Yates) in the tournament in Antwerp in 1932 and came third in Pasadena, after Alekhine and Kashdan; the game that I will show below, which defeated the world champion, established a kind of record, as was the first American player who managed to win against Alekhine.
In 1933 he was deployed in the fourth board of Folkestone Olympics, winning the individual silver (+9 = 2 -2) and in 1934 was third in the championship and third U.S. also open the tournament in Syracuse, won by Reshevsky, while at the tournament in Mexico City Year's came first ex aequo with Kashdan, and Finish.

To 'USA open that disputed that year in his Portland, where he earned a remarkable 8 to 12. The previous year the FIDE awarded him the honorary title of Grand Master in consideration of his findings in the Thirties. He died in
Reno, Nevada, April 28, 2000, seized with a fatal illness after an evening spent playing blackjack the famous Sands Casino.
And here's the game where he beat the world champion.

Morphy and shoes

92 - Anecdotes "historic"

Some readers of my new History of Chess noted, reading extensive biographical section devoted to Paul Morphy, the absence of the "mystery of the shoes" .
Before revealing the banal truth, I want to mention that some historians have argued that Morphy chess was a "paranoid fetishist" (Fine) as:
a) he liked to stay the center of a circle formed by women's shoes placed on the floor of the bedroom;
b) he liked to have in a semicircle about a dozen women's shoes ecstatic contemplation;
c) was found dead in the bathroom surrounded by numerous shoes for women.
These three versions on "paranoia" of Morphy do understand how easy it is, over the years, a reality warp at times trivial. That Morphy was found dead in the bathroom is the only thing true of the three "stories" are mentioned.
In 1926 the grandson of Morphy revealed the "mystery of the shoes."
The great chess player, although sometimes that attitudes could be think of a case of paranoia, was a very precise and orderly and, before reaching under the covers, provided the their shoes in a semicircle to choose without delay, upon awakening, which make for the day.
I will probably fallen into some false history (although I tried to avoid sensational trappoloni, especially, many of Koltanowski), but I assure readers that the "mystery of the shoes" is not that of Paul Morphy.

As a citizen of a neutral nation, Stoltz could play in the years of war, both at home and in Germany. After a 4th place in the national championship, in September 1941 participated in the so-called Europaturnier of Monaco of Bavaria, winning it in front of compatriot Lundin and Alekhine, world champion in office.

That same year, however, recognized the FIDE's Grand Master title, especially in pre-war strength of its results.
His last appearance was in an international tournament in Belgrade in 1962 (12th), won by Pilnik.
He died in Stockholm on July 25, 1963. The following
game, played during his match against Spielmann, illustrates the talents of striker and inventiveness that Stoltz applies to the game and swinging during his long career.
Spielmann - Stoltz (Stockholm, 1931): 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Cd2 Nf6 4. e5 Cfd7 5. Bd3 c5 6. c3 Nc6 7. Ne2 DB6 8. CF3 c: d4 9. c: d4 Bb4 + 10. RF1 f6 11.

Chess and alcohol

90 - Chess and alcohol


There are rare cases in which a chess talent was overshadowed by the immoderate use of wine or spirits of various kinds.
Alfred de Musset, noted writer and regular at the Regence, died about forty years because of absinthe (which he had dubbed "the green fairy") to swallow in large doses, however, that his game without it buckled too (it was definitely the strength of a Master at the time).
the mid-nineteenth century there was the pitiful case of Cecil De Vere, strong British player to practice as a journalist at a popular London daily. When the doctors diagnosed tuberculosis (fatal disease is very common in that century) began to drink, until his dismissal from the newspaper to the point that friends and acquaintances agreed to a collection that would allow him to move to a seaside resort. This transfer, however, not availed much, and he died at thirty years, consumed by evil. If
to De Vere is a special case (before the fatal verdict was not a big drinker), anything that was particularly the case with Mason, the player of Irish descent who moved to the States, proved as one of the best players in the second half of the nineteenth century.
During tournament Mason competed there was always the one who, in a low voice, colleagues defined the "Mason's Day ," the day that this very strong player could not resist the lure of the bottle and showed - that day and sometimes even the next - before the full board of whiskey to the eyes. Results and standings, of course, would be affected in a disastrous way.
Steinitz did not drink, but during his match with world title at stake Zukertort largely took advantage of the champagne that the organizers put at his disposal . "It strengthens the nerves " he said. His dementia senile, however, was not the product of alcohol abuse.
Blackburne was famous not only for his tremendous strength to play, even for his incredible ability to withstand the whiskey. At the beginning of a simultaneous at a British university, students find that they had to deal with at the beginning and end of the table, two bottles of good whiskey: played, won every game and drank both bottles until 'last straw. E 'should be noted that Blackburne's father was a preacher of the Temperance League for ...
E 'Alekhine known at the time of his match (1935) against Euwe, where the world title went to Dutch, appeared before the board a few times unsteady on his legs, which, admittedly for the dethroned champion, was also attributable to excess alcohol.
a Soviet grandmaster, Alexandr Tolush, found his own limits in abuse of vodka, and a Grand Master of Sweden, Gosta Stoltz, sixty years before he died with liver destroyed by the abuse of liquor of various kinds.
But this news brings us directly to the topic of post number 91 .....
