I. Introduction
(the nrs.in brackets refer to the bibliography nrs.)
Three chess superstars - Paul Morphy, Klaus Junge and Rudolf
Charousek - flashed brightly on the heavens of chess and waned
soon. The similarity between the fates of these three chess cracks is
surprising and tells much about chess genius and obsession. All three
of them showed already in their youth an outstanding talent. They
took part in international competitions only for a period of two years
and they all died a soon death, Charousek of tuberculosis. Quite a
few books have been written about Morphy and Junge while
Charousek is still mostly unknown to the modern reader. In Russia
he is considered to be a disciple and comrade of M.Chigorin, in
Hungary and Germany he has a reputation of a “second Morphy “. In
my belief he is an original chess artist!
In our modern times , when national conflicts tear coutries apart
and seperate the peoples the biography of a chess player has to be
expounded very carefully. So let’s first digress into the political
geography of those days. Charousek lived on the territory of
contemporary Hungary, Czechia and Slovakia, which were parts of
the former K-K Monarchy, Czechia being a part of Austria and
Slovakia a part of Hungary. After the collapse of the empire in 1918
Hungary and Czechoslovakia became independent states. The
question arose:Is Charousek Czech or Hungarian ? Harsh polemics
began. The Czechs accused the Hungarians of the abduction of the
Czech grandmaster (1), the Hungarians proclaimed: “Born as a
Czech, buried as a Hungarian “ (2). There are still discussion
nowadays but their intensity has abated after Czechoslovakia had
been split in two parts in 1992. It turned out that Charousek lived in
Czechia only the first days after his birth, studied in Slovakia for
about four years and stayed in Hungary all the rest of his live. The
Czechs stepped back and the Slovaks didn’t raise any claims....
Introduction
8
At present Charousek is generally accepted to be a Hungarian chess
player. Therefore the facts of his biography are mainly based upon
the Hungarian sources.
Assumedly 150 of Charousek's games had “survived41 up to now.
But the search of various sources has brought about another 98
games. The games are well annotated in general, mainly by GM
Gedeon Barcza and me, and a very few are given without any
comments. The system of the “Chess Informant44 has enabled me to
give a rather detailed analysis of all the games except for those in
which Charousek suffered a defeat. The games are arranged
chronologically, except for the correspondence tournament held in
1893-1897. A special chapter is dedicated (s.chapter X) to this
competition.
I have to give my heartfelt thanks to Sandor Szilagyi, Sarand,
Hungary, who has provided general help on a number of matters for
this piece of work. I would also like to thank the colleagues who
have sent the rare Charousek games :
Ivan Bottlfk, Budapest, Hungary, Jan Kalendovsky and Zdenek
Zavodny, Brno, Czechia.
Introduction

II.	Early Childhood
Rudolf Charousek was born in Prague on September 19th in 1873.
His father Karel Charousek and his mother Maria, born as Uher,
were also Czech by birth. His father worked as a telegraph operator
in Debrecen. Two days after Rudolf’s birth Maria took her baby to
her parents in the German estate Lomecek near Kutna-Hora, where
her father was a forester. When the father joined his family again the
child was baptised in the nearest catholic church in Trebonin. On the
birth certificate the name Rudolf was written in honor of the father’s
elder brother, but with a wrong birth place - Klein-Lometz. The
Hungarian form of his prename is Rezso.
Charousek spoke Czech, Hungarian and German perfectly, as we
can see from his letters to his mother and friends. Nowadays you
may still visit his grave and the memorial plate at Nagyteteny
(Hungary).
Early Childhood

III.	Childhood and Youth
When Rudolf was two months old his family returned to Debrecen.
There was nothing unusual about his childhood. The school in
Hungaria was three-leveled. Charousek entered the first grade of
primary school in Debrecen. Later his father moved to Miskolc and
there Rudolf attended the second and third class. The family returned
to Debrecen here and again. After having finished his primary
education he went to high school. But his studies lasted only for
three years and a resettlement in Miskolc took place again. Here
Rudolf attended the 4th to 8th grades and finished high school. His
teachers didn’t note any special aptitude for school subjects and his
marks were mediocre. His only main interests were history and
mathematics.
At this time the young boy first got in touch with chess. When he
received a chess set as a gift at Christmas 1888 he already played
well. Probably his passion for the ancient game arose quite late at the
age of 14. Charousek’s first teacher and partner was Dezso Pap , but
a profound knowledge of chess art was acquired by the contact with
the composer and strong opponent Jeno Pap (the son of Dezso).
Within three years Rudolf made acquaintance with all the chess
players of Miskolc. His playing strength grew rapidly and within a
short period he had surpassed all his teachers...
His progresses at chess were noticed by the family. After having
finished high school his mother presented him a royal gift: The
massive volume of the sixth edition of the general work originally
written by R. Bilguer:“Handbuch des Schachspiels “. Above all the
study of this extraordinary work and the acquaintanceship with Dr.
Geza Kalniczky determined the chess destiny of the young man.

V.Development of Talent
Studying Charousek's early games is an interesting and revealing
pleasure. The following aspects are remarkable:
1	.A11 the games were written down by him, accurately and with
comments. His knowledge of opening theory is impressive.
2	.Jeno Pap was probably his strongest opponent in those days (and
also the strongest master in his home town).
3	.His distinct tactical style prevailed right from the berginning of
his chess career.His chess partners didn't know much about
positional play so it was easy to mate them early.
4	.His blindfold play was inconsistent and accompanied by many
mutual blunders.
In the meantime Rudolf had finished school and the family council
looked out for an appropriate profession. They decided that their son
should become a lawyer and Rezso joined the Academy of Laws in
Kassa. He quickly got acquainted with the strong chess players at his
new surroundings and his reputation as a very strong chess player
soon hurried ahead of him...
The third volume of Magyar Sakktortenet (= Hungarian chess
history) gives intriguing details of Charousek's days in Kassa:
Many strong chess players were lawyers, merchants or teachers at
the Academy of Laws : V.Skultety, E.Kolos, B.Sally, M.Englander,
J.Wollner, D.Hermann, Brosztlel, J.Schaffer and G.Gador.
They gathered at many places in order to play chess. This hints at
the fact that there was no regular chess club or society at Kassa in
those days. Their “refuges“ were the cafes Fiume, Schalkhaz, Klein
Felix, Othon and Europa. Even at the grove of Szecheny chess
meetings would take place when it was warm.
Charousek focused on chess theory in the summer of 1891 very
seriously, besides the many casual games he played. The sixth
Development of Talent
23
edition of the “v.Bilguer, Handbuch des Schachspiel“ (25) that had
been presented to Rudolf by his mom on Christmas was the basis for
these detailed studies. He focused the results of his studies on tables
in order to get a better picture of the important variations ! His
teacher Jend Pap reported, that he drew special attention to the
King's Gambit, the Evans Gambit and the Queen's Gambit. He
prejudiced against the French defence as a cowardly opening. From
time to time he used the Sicilian Defense in serious tournament play
(see game Nrs.3,31,69,85,173). The note-books of Charousek seem
to enhancen the legend that he copied the Bilguer notes as his note-
books were bristling with analysis stemming from this famous chess
manual.
In 1892 Charousek got the job of an assistant by chance (he was
still attending the Academy of Laws ) at the lawyer's office of
Dr.Peter Lorbeer. This position had been occupied by his friend
J.Schaffer before who left the town. From now on Charousek made
a modest living for himself. He beat the strongest Kassa chess player
of those days M.Englander by 4 victories and 3 defeats. In 1893 the
first Hungarian indiviual correspondence chess championship was
started. In chapter X one may trace back the chaotic circumstances
and proceedimngs of this tournament and for the first time the
complete and correct tournament table is presented to the chess
public on page 255. The following chapters will give more details...
Although Charousek considered himself to be a disciple of Chigorin
in the eyes of the chess press he soon became a second Morphy . In
1893 he had surpassed all chess players from Kassa by far. The
same year he attended Budapest and above all the Budapest Chess
Club for the first time. The atmosphere of those days was very
similar to the atmosphere of our days: Endless blitz games watched
by many spectators standing around the tables. Right from the start
he defeated many strong players from this excellent chess club. The
greenhorn from the country was soon respected and the attention of
Development of Talent

many kiebitze was drawn to his games. Play normally lasted until
midnight or even longer.
Some eyewitnesses can still remember a drawn encounter between
G6za Mardczy (1870-1951:he also started his chess career at these
days and won the tournament Budapest 1895 two years later) and
Rudolf Charousek: 5:5 was the final result.
This year Charousek got the opportunity to play a match against the
strongest Hungarian player Gyula Makovetz (1860-1903:he won the
tournament Hrac 1890 and became second behind Dr.Tarrasch at
Dresden in 1892). On December 15th 1893 the first game was
played which Charousek could win convincingly. The remaining 3
games ended in a draw. The expression triumvirate (Charousek,
Makovetz and Mardczy) was used by Hungarian chess historians
from 1893 on...
After this match Charousek returned to Kassa (Charousek spent 4
years in Kassa alltogether...) and worked at Dr.Lorbeer's lawyer's
office. Only little time was left for studying and playing chess. In
1895 he again undertook a trip to Budapest where he defeated
Maroczy in a match (in 1895 Maroczy was considered to be the
strongest Hungarian chess player...). He won two games and lost
one, no draws...

VI. ON THE ROAD TO FAME
The games of Charousek's student period only differ
little from the ones of his schooldays. As before he only
concentrated on his opponent's king and attacked it. His
fantastic combinations demonstrate that his tactical talent
had reached the highest level. But there were also
endgames. And even uncomplicated endings panicked
Rudolf. He drew two won endgames in his match with
Makovetz. It was time to work at the technical stages of
the game and especially his endgame skills needed
substantial improvement.
At the end of August 1895 Charousek arrived at the
capital of Hungary to continue his education as a lawyer
and also hoped to promote his chess career. The chess
elite of Budapest of that time consisted of Makovetz,
Brody and Jacobi whereas Pap, Dr.Kalniczky and Victor
Exner came from the surrounding areas and Mr.Porges
even from Prague. Their meeting point was the Budapest
Chess Club.
Rudolf lived in the little town of Nagyteteny near
Budapest (Buda was on the right, Pest on the left bank.
These two parts were connected by a bridge in 1848. In
1879 Budapest was founded.) as well as Maroczy. Every
morning he attended university or went to the Chess
Club. According to their interests commuters met in little
groups on the suburban trains. Naturally, chess players
gathered around Charousek. With chess sets, casual chess
On the Road to Fame
54
games and theoretical debates time passed quickly. If the
chess board was forgotten at home, they would
enthusiastically battle blindfold.
In the September and the October of 1895 Charousek
played a lot of games at the Budapest Chess Club; mainly
with Makovetz and Mardczy. Makovetz was the weakest
and Maroczy the strongest of this triumvirate. A match
had to be staged in order to determine the strongest..
In that situation Makovetz behaved very "reasonably".
He began to absent himself from games and little by little
disappeared at all. He wanted to retire undefeated.
Compare that to Fischer's behavior in our days !
(note by Manuel Fruth:Makovetz was playing tournament
chess at his age, whereas Charousek and Maroczy were
young and ambitious).
Mardczy behaved totally differently. He had just won
the minor tournament at Hastings and was considered to
be the foremost Hungarian chess master. He only had to
defeat this young guy from Kassa. A match between
Charousek and Maroczy took place. It lasted from
November 12th until December 19th in 1895 and turned
out to be very useful for the chess future of the
participants.
Above all Maroczy enjoyed good training for the
oncoming tournament at Nuremberg (note by Manuel
Fruth: he was sure to play this tournament...). This match
was the first serious competition for Charousek. His
On the Road to Fame
55
opponent was said to be a chess player of positional style
and an expert in endings.
The match followed the “international rules14 of those
days:Who first achieved six wins was the winner, 3
games were played a week. Maroczy took the initiative
right from the start and after three games he was ahead
with the score of 2 to 1. Four draws in a row followed.
After ten games the lead of one point for the young
Maroczy remained unchanged: 5.5 to 4.5. Afterwards
Charousek "collapsed" :three defeats in four games were
the consequence and the match was over... His lack of
experience and his neglected physical preparation were
responsible for his breakdown -quite a usual phenomenon
in those times.
Rudolf wasn't deeply distressed by the defeat; he
acknowledged the superiority of his opponent. On the
other hand Charousek's play impressed Maroczy so much
that he became his faithful friend and patron.
During Christmas vacation 1895 there was one more
little match with Victor Exner from Szekesfehervar. They
played according to the “club rules44: two games a day.
Charousek won without any problems (+3 -0 =2).
Dissatisfied by the result Exner organised a return match
of ten games "at home" at Szekesfehervar the following
year. They played for little more than a week, from
October 2nd until 10th. This time Charousek won even
more convincingly 7.5 to 2.5.
On the Road to Fame
56
Thereupon endless casual games were played by
Charousek at the Budapest Chess Club. In June he
defeated Dr. Kdlniczky by 11 to 5.
The encounters with the strong masters of different
styles very much developed the talent of young Rudolf.
His playing strength grew rapidly. He now became the
hope of Hungarian chess. It was time to test his powers
by playing with masters from other countries. Charousek
therefore decided to participate in international
tournaments.
In July and August 1896, in the surroundings of the
Bavarian exposition, a grand tournament of the strongest
chess players in the world was planned in the home town
of Dr.Siegbert Tarrasch, Nuremberg. The organisers had
worked perfectly: A fantastic tournament site (the “Club
Museum"), fantastic prices (3000 marks and a huge silver
trophy for the winner, 2000 marks for the second place...)
and finally fantastic names could be presented to the
public. Almost all of the chess greats of that time should
participate:Pillsbury, Showalter and Steinitz from
America; Schiffers and Chigorin from Russia; Bum and
Blackburne from England; Em.Lasker, Schallopp,
Tarrasch and Walbrodt from Germany; Albin, Marco,
Maroczy, Porges and Schlechter from Austria-Hungary;
Janowski and Winawer from the today so-called Poland.
All of Maroczy's attempts to make Charousek's
participation in the masters’ tournament possible were
rejected. In the end Rudolf was accepted as the first
On the Road to Fame
57
reserve. And because the Englishman Bird could not
participate Charousek was officially invited to play in the
tournament.
Ferenc Kaszonyi remembers those days: "Sorrowful and
bewildered Charousek showed the invitation to his
aquaintances. He didn't know what to do:There was no
money for the trip. His friends helped him out. It seemed
to be impossible to miss the opportunity of participating
in such an international tournament and a chess genius
shouldn't perish from poverty. They organised a fund-
raising and soon collected ample means for the trip and
for the stay at Nuremberg. The initiator and the main
donor was Dr.P.Lorbeer, who not only was a lawyer but
also a chess dilettante. After the newspapers had
informed about Charousek's victory over the world
champion, a congratulatory telegram from Kassa arrived.
Dr.Lorbeer was happy. His friend lived up to his
expectations."
The young chess player, naturally, was nervous
encountering such eminent opponents for the first time
and his results were psychologically affected. In rounds
5-7 he lost three games in a row. He suffered annoying
defeats from outsiders.
But in the first and in the final round he again surprised
the chess world. Both encounters followed the same
pattern. A sharp opening, the King's Gambit (Bishop's
Gambit), being transferred to an intricate positional
struggle after some unexpected piece exchanges.
On the Road to Fame
58
Charousek's positions were only slightly better and he
managed to squeeze the maximum out of them with a
sophisticated and elaborate technique. In the first game
his opponent was the "Lion from Kentucky"
Dr.Showalter, a chess player of sharp combinational
style. Rudolf overplayed him, first of all, psychologically,
forcing him to pass to the unpleasant sphere of boring
defense. In the final round Charousek played with
Em.Lasker. The young man overplayed the world
champion totally beating him more than convincingly...
Charousek had learnt his lesson well due to his previous
encounters with Maroczy. In the 15th round he had to
play a long ending (88 moves). Charousek managed to
win this game against Walbrodt, a young and very gifted
player from Berlin. Charousek's position was only
slightly better when play came to an endgame.
But his lack of playing experience soon showed up
again and became especially obvious during the last
rounds of the tournament: Charousek suffered defeats
from Chigorin, Steinitz and Tarrasch.
Emanuel Lasker was the winner of the tournament (13.5
points out of 18 games). A powerful finish enabled
Maroczy to take the second prize (12.5 points), the
sensation of the tournament ! Pillsbury and Tarrasch with
12 points shared ranks three and four.
Charousek was placed twelfth. 8.5 points were a good
result for a player making his international debut and
additionally he received a chess book as a prize.
On the Road to Fame
59
Contemporaries evaluated his appearance as an
unexpected success. The young master's style of play
attracted general attention and authorities predicted a
brilliant future to the representative of Hungary.
This was the first step on his thorny path to the peak.

Charousek's and Steinitz's
epilogues were the best about
this game. The junior master
asked the senior: "When did I
make my decisive mistake ?"
The elder one responded: "If
anybody chooses such a bizarre
opening, he doesn't have to be
surprised when he loses the
game !"

" IM TURNIERSAALE PER SCHACHMEISTER "
Niimberg, den 25.Juli 1896.
Seit einer Woche ist im Gesellschaftshause Museum ein
intemationales Meistertumier im Gange, wie Deutschland ein solches
in Bezug auf die Starke der kampfenden Meister und die Hohe der
angesetzten Preise bisher noch nicht gesehen hat. Zwar hat der seit 10
Jahren bestehende Deutsche Schachbund schon Schachkongresse mit
internationalen Meistertumieren veranstaltet, von denen der 3. - und
vielleicht auch der schonste - im Jahre 1883 in unserer Stadt tagte,
aber alle diese Turniere konnten naturgemaB wegen der geringeren
Preise und der kiirzeren Dauer den Vergleich mit solchen, wie sie
schon in England, Osterreich, Amerika und Frankreich ausgefochten
wurden, nicht aushalten.
Diesmal hat es der Numberger Schachclub, der, unter der Leitung des
weltberiihmten Schachmeisters Dr.Tarrasch stehend, zu den
angesehensten Schachvereinen Europas zahlt, selbstandig
untemommen, die gesamte Schachfamilie der zivilisierten Welt zu
sich einzuladen. Aus England, Frankreich, Osterreich, RuBland und
Amerika sind die Schachmeister gekommen, um sich im Verein mit
den starksten deutschen Meistem in friedlichen, aber
nichtsdetsoweniger heiBen Kampfen zu messen; in Kampfen,in denen
alle MannertugendemGeduld, Ruhe, Besonnenheit und
Geistesgegenwart zur Geltung kommen; in Kampfen, in welchen nicht
rohe Kraft, sondem die Scharfe des Geistes den Ausschlag gibt. Es
geht ein eigenthiimlicher Reiz aus, in diesen Kampfen mitzuwirken,
aber noch ein viel groBerer, den Kampfspielen zuzuschauen und sie
mit kritischen Blicken zu verfolgen.
On the Road to Fame

Treten wir ein in den Saal der Meister:
Es ist die sechste Runde im Gange. Gleich beim Eintritt bemerken wir
als erstes Paar der Kampfenden den groBten Gegensatz, den man sich
denken kann. Der jugendliche Ungar Charousek , den die Schachwelt
bis vor kurzem kaum dem Namen nach kannte, ist berufen, mit dem
Altmeister Steinitz um die Palme zu ringen. Hier fiihrt feuriger und
nur allzuoft hitziger Kampfesmut die Steine gegen die Besonnenheit
und die Erfahrung des Alters. Ein Gambit wird von dem Ungam
gegeben und von dem Altmeister angenommen. Wer wird hier Sieger
sein ?
Ein vielleicht noch interessanteres Bild bietet sich uns am
Nachbartische dar. Deutschlands Vorkampfer Dr.Tarrasch hat hier
den ,den beriihmten britischen Schachmeister Blackbume als Gegner,
wie schon so haufig in vielen Tumieren. Hier fiihrt Besonnenheit auf
beiden Seiten die Steine, die in einer geordneten Position zum
Ausdruck kommt.
Am Nachbartische sieht man den Franzosen Janowski mit dem
Deutsch-Englander Teichmann ringen, beide trotz ihrer Jugend
bekannte und in der Schachwelt klangvolle Namen. Janowski war
bislang auf der Tumiertabelle einer der ersten - nur Lasker,
Dr.Tarrasch und Tschigorin iiberragen ihn - wahrend sein heutiger
Gegner, mit Krankheit und widrigem Geschick kampfend, vorlaufig
im Nachtrab marschiert. Doch scheint es, als wolle er heute die
Scharte auswetzen.
Ebenso vom Ungliick verfolgt wie Teichmann ist der Amerikaner
Showalter, der am Nebentische mit dem Deutschen Walbrodt ringt.
Der groBte und der kleinste Meister sitzen sich hier gegeniiber, wenn
man lediglich die korperlichen Dimensionen in Betracht zieht; aus der
Partie laBt sich noch nicht erkennen, wer der Starkere sein wird.
Schon naht die Mittagspause, man merkt es am eigentumlichen,
jetzt sich wiederholenden Gerausch, das die Kontrolluhren
verursachen, wenn sie in Ruhe gesetzt werden. Jeder Spieler hat fur je
15 Ziige 1 Stunde Bedenkzeit, die gar zu oft zu knapp wird, wenn sich
die Partien dem dreiBigsten Zug nahert.
Am meisten hat der Pole Winawer - ein Name von gutem Klang in
der Schachwelt - unter der Zeitbedrangnis zu leiden. Gestern sahen
On the Road to Fame
112
wir ihn ein Dutzend Zuge a tempo machen, heute, wo er mit dem
Prager Schachmeister Porges spielt, scheint er sich besser vorgesehn
zu haben.
Zwei folgende leere Tische bedeuten ebensoviele beendete
Schlachten. Nur die auf dem Tische befestigten Namen verkiinden,
daB an dem einen der deutsche Schachmeister Schallopp mit dem
Wiener Spieler Albin, an dem anderen der Amerikaner Pillsbury mit
dem jugendlichen Ungarn Maroczy gefochten hat. Schallopp, ein
geistreicher Spieler, aber entschieden auBer Ubung, erlitt in diesem
Turnier schon verschiedene Niederlagen, auch heute hat ihn das Gliick
nicht begunstigt, ebensowenig wie den Amerikaner Pillsbury, der vor
dem Ungam die Waffen strecken muBte. Pillsbury, der Sieger im
vorjahrigen Turnier zu Hastings, scheint durch Kranklichkeit von der
Energie verlassen zu sein, die ihn damals durchs Ziel fuhrte, denn schon
zeigt seine Tumiertabelle zwei Nullen gegeniiber einer einzigen Eins.
Wir nahern uns den letzten beiden Tischen. Am ersten derselben
verfolgt eine Dame mit teilnahmsvollen Blicken den Kampf, der
zwischen dem Wiener Meister Marco und dem russischen Meister
Schiffers entbrannt ist. Es ist die Frau des Erstgenannten, die ihrem
Gemahl auf das Turnier gefolgt ist und die Leiden und Freuden
desselben mit ihm teilt. Wird ein Sieg errungen, so ist die Freude
doppelt, wird eine Niederlage erlitten, so ist der Schmerz ein halber.
Heute ist noch nicht abzusehen, wohin sich die Waage neigt.
Am letzten Tisch glanzen zwei wiederum durch Abwesenheit, es
sind Lasker und Schlechter, schon um 11 Uhr schlossen sie Frieden
und brachten ihre Partie zum Remis. Beide Spieler scheinen neben
Dr.Tarrasch, dem Altmeister Steinitz und dem Russen Tschigorin -
der heute seinen freien Tag hatte - berufen, einen hoheren Rang auf
der SchluBtabelle des Turniers einzunehmen; doch fiillt erst in der
nachsten Woche die Entscheidung. Wie diese aber auch ausfalien
mag, auch die Nichtsieger werden sich mit Scheffel zu trosten wissen:
Und wird auch kein Lorbeereis
Als Schmuck urns Haupt geflochten,
Auch der sei stolz, der sender Preis
Des Denkens Kampf gefochten.

Die Kiebitze auf dem Schachturnier
Furst Bismarck hat einstmals gesagt: "Die Schachspieler sind
gemiitliche Leute, sie treiben keine Politik." Wenn auch hier
Ausnahmen lediglich die Regel bestatigen und es genug
Schachspieler giebt, welche liber die verwickelten Kombinationen am
Brett die verschlungenen Pfade der Politik keineswegs vergessen, so
ist die Gemiitlichkeit des Schachspielers wohl unbestritten. Wenn wir
eine genugend poetische Ader besaBen, so konnten wir zu dem
bekannten Lied eine freie Version geben, etwa beginnend: Wo man
Schach spielt, laB Dich ruhig nieder, aber so fehlt uns leider der Reim,
und wir konnen weiter nichts thun, als jeden aufzufordem, in den
Tumiersaal zu kommen und die Kiebitze sich anzusehen, die aus alien
Landern zusammengestromt sind, um den Kampfspielen zuzuschauen.
Da sind zunachst die pflichteifrigen Kiebietze, welche dazu berufen
sind, alle Vorgange an den Brettern, die Siege, die Niederlagen, die
Eroffnungen, die mehr oder weniger eleganten Kombinationen der
Schachwelt, der fernsten und der nachsten schriftlich oder gar
telegraphisch wiederzugeben. Sobaid das Spiel beginnt, sieht man sie
von Brett zu Brett eilen, ihre Notizen machen und gleich die Partien
ins Auge fassen, welche sie evtl. fur geeignet halten, noch an
demselben Tag in die Welt hineinzutelegraphieren, nach England und
Amerika, wo sie dann schon am folgenden Tag bewundert und
besprochen werden. Die amerikanischen und englischen Zeitungen
lassen es sich eben viel Geld kosten, in Deutschland hat man sich an
solchen Luxus noch nicht gewohnt.Aber die Berichterstatter sind doch
eigentlich nicht die richtigen Kiebitze, sie bleiben gewohnlich zu kalt
bei der Sache, etwa wie ein Arzt, der eine Sektion zu machen hat.
Ganz anders sind diejenigen, welche lediglich als Schlachtenbummler
den Tumiersaal besuchen, welche mit den Spielem sich freuen, wenn
es ihnen gut geht, welche mit ihnen leiden, wenn Sie in schlechte
Stellungen geraten. Sie kommen bald einzeln vor, bald aber auch in
ganzen Scharen dort, wo eine Niederlage in Aussicht steht. Wo Aas
ist, versammeln sich die Geier und wie die Geier sah man heute die
Schachenthusiasten auf die Partie sich stiirzen, welche die beiden
On the Road to Fame
114
Altmeister unter den Meistern, die Herren Winawer und Steinitz,
miteinander spielen. Winawer, bisher vom Gliick her wenig
begiinstigt, hatte in seiner Partie mit Steinitz einen Bauern geopfert
und dafiir einen furchtbaren Angriff erlangt. Von Mund zu Mund
hatte sich bald das Geriicht verbreitet, Steinitz verliert, aber
unmoglich ist es, auch nur einen Blick auf das Brett zu werfen, eine
dichte Menge umgiebt die beiden Spieler. Endlich lost sich die
menschliche Mauer, ein befreiender Atemzug geht durch die Menge,
"Steinitz hat aufgegeben wird den AuBenstehenden mitgeteilt. Jetzt
beginnen die gelehrten Kiebitze die Arbeit des Sezierens und
Glossierens.
Herr Schottlander aus Breslau - seit 20 Jahren auf dem
Schachkongresse anzutreffen und dort unentbehrlich - fiihrt hier das
Hauptwort, komisch ist es anzuhoren, wie er und Herr Hoffer sich
hier bei die groBten Schmeicheleien sagen. Bald ist der Fehler
entdeckt, inzwischen erfordert eine neue Leiche eine neue Sektion,
der elegante und schneidige Tschigorin verliert gegen den Amerikaner
Showalter, die Zeitbedrangnis hat ihm den Rest gegeben; wie kann
man einen guten Zug machen, wenn die Uhr abzulaufen droht!
Nicht immer bieten die Partien ein solches Interesse, wie die eben
geschilderten, es gibt auch solche, welche langsam dahinflieBen wie
ein Bach, dem es an dem notigen Gefalle fehlt. Dann kann es auch
vorkommen, daB die Partie einschlafernd wirkt, wenn nicht auf die
Spieler, so doch auf den Kiebitz. Wie schon schlummerte neulich der
italiensiche Schachfreund aus Mailand einsam am Brett. "Ich konnte
es nicht mehr aushalten“, erzahlte er spater, "wie ich bemerkte, daB
eine Figur nach der anderen wieder in ihr Quartier zuriickgezogen
wurde, das wirkte einschlafernd auf mich.
Auch Damen gibt es unter den Kiebitzen. Wem sind nicht die
beiden englischen Ladies aufgefallen - die nebenbei bemerkt - fur
englische Zeitungen berichten, die hauptsachlich die Bretter
umschwarmen, an denen Blackbume und Pillsbury die Steine fiihren,
die sich freuen, wenn es diesen gut geht, und trauem, wenn eine
Niederlage in Aussicht steht. Auch deutsche Damen furchten nicht die
rauchgeschwangerte Luft des Tumiersaals. So sieht man die Gemahlin
On the Road to Fame
115
des Dr.Tarrasch mit liebender Sorge um ihren Mann thatig, daB es
ihm in dem heiBen Kampfe nicht an der notigen Starkung fehle, dabei
noch Zeit findend, auch das Comite in seiner miihevollen Thatigkeit
zu unterstutzen. Es erfordert eben ein Schachturnier nicht nur die
Arbeit der Meister, die ihre Partien spielen, sondern eben auch die
eifrige Arbeit edler Manner, die berufen sind, iiberall nach dem
rechten zu sehen und die Turniere zu leiten.
Wie allgemein anerkannt wird, kann das Numberger Turnier gerade
hier den Vergleich mit seinen Vorgangern aushalten. Bisher blieb das
Turnier, dank des Waltens des Comit6s, verschont von jeder Stoning -
den Tag liber wird eifrig gespielt, des Abends sieht man Meister und
Kiebitze sich bei einem Gias Bier erholenvon den Abstrengungen des
Spielens und Zuschauens; wer sich davon iiberzeugen will, der
komme und mache mit, er wird mit Furst Bismarck finden, daB bei
allem Kampfen und Ringen liber allem thront die urdeutsche
Gemiitlichkeit.

VILCLIMBING UP TO THE PEAK
A few days after the tournament in Nuremberg was
over, the academic year began and again Rudolf daily
counted his 15 kilometers from Nagyteteny to Pest. He
didn't even suspect that fate had been preparing a drastic
change in his life. Charousek was destined to be the first
Hungarian to win a great international tournament thus to
become the first grandmaster of the country.
Meticulous historians proved, that in 896 the Magyar
tribes had first settled on the territory of the contemporary
Hungary and 105 years later the Hungarian Kingdom had
been founded. For the one thousand year jubilee of
Hungary the Budapest Chess Club decided to organise a
big international tournament. The duties of the managing
director were delegated to Maroczy. Already one month
after the Nuremberg tournament, the raising of funds and
the negotiations with the participants began.
Financial problems were solved quickly and
successfully. The national and municipial powers,
functionaries of the political apparatus and private
citizens willingly contributed to this patriotic affair:
Baron A.Rotschild with his contribution of 1000 Kronen
and J. Zichy with 600 Kronen were the most generous
donators. Emperor Franz-Joseph paid the rent and
donated the enormous 12 kg silver trophy "Victoria".
Only the very strongest chess players of the world were
invited. Three Hungarians and 13 foreign masters were to
take part in the tournament. But life has its own ways !
Only Em. Lasker and W. Steinitz refused the invitation as
they had to prepare themselves for the world
championship rematch in 1896-1897. The Hungarian
triumvirate (Makovetz, Maroczy, Charousek) was also
Climbing up to the Peak
117
split up. Makovetz being the “formal champion of the
country“ suddenly retired from tournament play and thus
his place was occupied by Dr.J.Noa.
Due to his organisational duties, the "hero of
Nuremberg" Maroczy didn't intend to play at the
tournament, too. So only 13 instead of 16 participants
were to be staged. At least the rest of the strongest chess
players of the world was proud to play at this millenium
tournament:From Austria Albin, Marco and Schlechter
were invited, from Germany Walbrodt, von Popiel and
Tarrasch would arrive and Alapin, Winawer and Chigorin
represented Russia. The “New World“ was represented
by Pillsbury and France by Janowski. A couple of days
before the tournament was started Alapin had denied his
entry and thereby had put the organisers into a quandary.
12 participants didn't suit the organisers, so Maroczy had
to stand in and save the situation thus becoming the third
representative of Hungary. The participants were lodged
luxurously at the magnificent rooms of the hotel "Great
Prince Stephan".
The tournament was held in the hall of the monumental
restaurant "Vigado" in Pest.
(A subsequently published information that the
tournament took place in the rooms of the Budapest
Chess Club is not correct.) On October 4th the opening
ceremony took place in the presence of a large public.
The well-known explorer of Central Asia, Count J. Zichy,
appeared on stage. The French magazine "Le Strategic" in
its October issue described the event as follows: "Dressed
in a picturesque national costume he delivered a
ceremonial speech in Hungarian, French and German.
Making a historical review, the orator gave a very brief
and capacious definition of chess: “Other games arouse
Climbing up to the Peak
118
passions, but it is necessary for a chess player to be in
perfect tranquility and to have enough endurance to reach
the victory. This is a thriumph of science over passion.“
The chief referee Havasi announced the tournament
regulations. Play started at 10 am and the players had to
be present up to 8 hours a day. The first part of the daily
play lasted until 2 pm, afterwards a two hours break was
granted. Thereafter adjourned games had to be continued.
The thinking time was: 2 hours for the first 30 moves and
1 hour for every 15 moves further.
The tournament quickly reached “top speed“. Although
the entrance fee was rather high (1 Krone), there was a
large number of spectators. It was interesting to see the
struggle of the young chess players* against experienced
masters; these two parties were of equal playing strength.
Taking into account the special importance of the
competition for Charousek's further life let's take a close
look at the proceedings of this grand tournament.
In the first round his opponent was the youngest
participant, C.Schlechter, who was famous for being an
impenetrable defender. Charousek, having white, made
use of the Bishop's Gambit, which proved to be so
successful for him in his game with the world champion
Em.Lasker in Nuremberg. In the opening white won a
pawn, but the Viennese master had two bishops and
attacking prospects. Parrying direct threats, Rudolf was
allowed to reach an ending with bishops of opposite
colors. A draw was the logical consequence...
In the second round, the old friends and rivals
encountered. Maroczy did not get any tangible advantage
from his favourite Bird Opening. He undertook an attack
on the king and blundered away his knight. Charousek
Schlechter was 22 years old, Charousek 23, Pillsbury 24, Walbrodt 25.
Climbing up to the Peak
119
quickly repulsed the incorrect sacrifice and shifted the
game to an ending in which his two pieces were
obviously stronger than the rook of white. In a certain
moment Black gave back some material and forced the
victory in the resulting rook ending.
Third round. In the Scotch Gambit white created
strong threats. Popiel had forced numerous exchanges and
as a result was left the exchange down. A few moves later
black lost a whole rook. At move 26 the German master
resigned.
Charousek started successfully. He not only became
leader of the tournament (together with Chigorin), but
also defeated the main Hungarian competitor Maroczy,
who had scored only one point so far.
The fourth round again brought together
Hungarians. J.Noa chose the peaceful Four Knights
Opening. Thence sprang up a positional struggle, in
which the man uvres of white proved to be more
successful. Charousek forced his opponent to weaken hise
position and won a pawn. Noa lost another pawn, then a
third one and eventually gave up...
Fifth round. An opening novelty was used by
Charousek in the King's Gambit Declined, which had
brought him success against Showalter in their first round
encounter at the Nuremberg tournament (s.game Nr.81).
But his opponent Marco had studied that game in detail
and didn't repeat the errors of the American. He
undertook a strong pawn push on the king's side and won
a pawn. Marco's skill of realisation of a certain advantage
was quite perfect. The causes of Rudolfs defeat also have
to be sought in psychology. He underestimated his
opponent and without sound positional basis tried to
attack and win the game.
Climbing up to the Peak
120
Sixth round. Another chess player of an aggressive
style - D.Janowski - chose, having the white pieces, the
Queen's Gambit. Wild complications eventually favored
black:Charousek had a strong passed pawn in the
ending... But he made a big mistake and ... lost his pawn.
It is possible that black didn't use all resorts of defence.
Anyway the knight ending turned out to be hopeless for
Rudolf. The second defeat in a row was the logical
consequence...
The Hungarian fans became disappointed. Their team
was about to end up in a disaster. Charousek scored only
3.5 points out of 5 games, 0.5 point less than Maroczy,
and Noa was at the end of the tournament table... The
oldest participant of the tournament, S.Winawer was in
leadership. He had made 5 points out of 6 games so far.
Chigorin had scored 4.5 points out of 5 games...What a
fantastic start for the Russians !
In the seventh round Charousek and Chigorin
encountered:The disciple and his teacher, David and
Goliath. And again the Bishop's Gambit was applied !
Chigorin, having black, immediately launched an attack.
Charousek stroke back powerfully:He sacrificed a bishop,
counter-attacked and had already reached a decisive
advantage by move 19. A brilliant game in the style of
the old masters: David had defeated Goliath and one of
the leaders of the tournament had been knocked down...
Eighth round. K. Walbrodt, whose fate was
extremely similiar to Charousek's one, had white. He was
two years older and died two years after Rudolf. Two
young talents playing the Ruy Lopez opening.And Caissa
was in doubt: Who should she prefer ? While she was still
pondering, the opponents made ... 86 moves. White had
won two pawns and black was in a hopeless position. At
Climbing up to the Peak
121
last the goddess made up her mind. She favored the
German master. He missed a queen sacrifice and and as a
result Rudolf was saved by a stalemate position !
Ninth round. Charousek is free of play.
Winawer still was in lead but Pillsbury joined the
leadership with 6.5 points out of 9 games. Chigorin had
scored 5.5 points out of 8 games so far. Charousek was
just lagging half a point behind the “mighty three“.
Although he was still awaiting his encounters with the
two "bisons" (Winawer and Pillsbury), he was full of
energy, self-confident and he hoped for a little help...
Tenth round. Charousek used a sharp opening line
against Pillsbury in the Vienna Game, but his strategy
turned out to be surprisingly peaceful. One piece after the
other was exchanged and eventually four rooks were left
on the board, white's king being centered. This small
positional advantage could hardly be realised:Creating a
masterpiece of endgame play Charousek developed his
positional advantage a la Karpov step by step, converting
it into a material one, and won in 66 moves. Once again a
chess monument had been dismantled...
Before the start of the eleventh round there were
three leaders: Chigorin, Pillsbury and Winawer.
Charousek had already defeated two of them, but still had
to play the third one. It didn't trouble Rudolf that his
opponent had the white pieces. In the Ruy Lopez in
general white is attacking on the king's side, black on the
Queen's side. At a certain moment Simon Winawer was
sure to win a piece but this fata morgana vanished just in
time to avoid the deadly trap. The Hungarian master
suddenly shifted his forces to the opposite side and
attacked the naked king. Another brilliant victory had
been accomplished ! Charousek’s third main competitor
Climbing up to the Peak
122
had been knocked out by Rudolf. But Chigorin was still
in lead having half a point more than Charousek. And
only two rounds were to come ! The struggle had become
extremely intense and the air was filled with suspense.
Twelfth round. Chigorin played white against
Schlechter, Charousek had white against Tarrasch. In
Nuremberg Rudolf had lost against Tarrasch in 17 moves,
but this time things turned out to be very lucky for
Charousek against his dreaded opponent: He achieved a
draw and Chigorin lost. A rather quiet game changed its
face unexpectedly after Tarrasch had sacrificed a piece.
His attack seemed to be very dangerous. Both kings were
naked, but both opponents decided not to challenge fate.
Charousek, Chigorin and Pillsbury, who had defeated
Winawer, were in the lead before the last round was
started; it seemed as if Winawer couldn't stand up to the
stress of the struggle *. A finish full of tension waited for
the players and the spectators !
Thirteenth round. The games Tarrasch vs.
Pillsbury, Albin vs.Charousek and Maroczy vs.Chigorin
promised high quality chess. The topleaders had to play
black against opponents of equal strength, each with a
score of 5 points. All three encounters became intense
positional struggles. Charousek was the first to win his
game. In the Queen's Gambit he aimed at a passed pawn,
then won it and realised his material advantage by
showing excellent technique. Unfortunately Maroczy
wasn't able to help his young friend out. He inventively
defended his position with a pawn down over a long
period but finally lost. Charousek and Chigorin had
moved themselves to the first row but the game Tarrasch
vs. Pillsbury was still going on. Their game came to a
* Some sources state that in the end of the tournament Winaver was ill.
Climbing up to the Peak
123
complicate ending with many pieces on the board. At a
certain moment they began to repeat moves. For Pillsbury
a draw was equivalent to a defeat. He refused to repeat
moves ... and lost a pawn. Tarrasch won at move 80.
So the tournament had two winners: the hope of
Hungary, Charousek, and the hope of Russia, Chigorin.
The American hope, Pillsbury, took third place (The
tournament table can be seen at the games section.).
Focusing on the creative results, it has to be noted that
Charousek’s Style had become „universal4*. Sharp
combinational play and intricate struggles were at an
equilibrium. Rudolf proved to be an experienced
grandmaster of world class.
On October 22nd the tournament was over but the prizes
could only be handed over to the participants on the ranks
3-7. Moreover Tarrasch received the beauty prize. But
what about the silvertrophy "Victoria"? Cutting it into
two parts ? Therefore an additional match of 4 games was
arranged between the two winners.
Maybe Charousek was too impressed by his victory in
round 7 over the Russian grandmaster. Rudolf launched a
sharp attack, missed a mate in one and then quickly lost !
In the second game again he made a psychological
mistake. To play the Max Lange Attack with white
against Chigorin having black was as to extinguish a fire
with gasoline. By a brilliant counterattack Chigorin
overrun his opponent. The match situation had already
rendered hopeless. Charousek now calmed down and
began to play “simple chess44. And everything changed at
once. In a positional game the Hungarian maestro
completely overplayed his opponent: 1:2. In the last game
Chigorin obviously played for a draw but got more. In an
equal ending Charousek frivolously exchanged rooks and
Climbing up to the Peak
124
lost: 1:3. Chigorin was declared the overall winner with
the prize option of “Victoria14 (the 12 kg silver cup **).
The result was justified not only by Charousek's
blunders, but also by Chigorin's marvelous play !
The organisers had one more “unsolved problem11, but
this time it was very pleasant. 11.000 Kronen had been
provided by entry fees and patronage and tournament
expenses only amounted up to 9.700 Kronen. It was
decided to spend the rest on the publication of a
tournament anthology. The editing was entrusted to
Tarrasch and the commenting of the games to Charousek.
And indeed , after having returned to Kassa, Rudolf
started to work in the quiet atmosphere of his father's
house. But tours, tournaments and sudden illness
thwarted this plan soon. The book was printed 45 years
after the tournament in 1941 under the authorship of
Maroczy and the editorship of Toth.
It was decided to leave "Victoria” at the Budapest Chess Club where it was
kept for 20 years. In the aftermaths of World War Land the turmoils of the
Hungarian Revolution it got lost.

Instead of notes Maroczy offers
the following litany of
complaints:
"This game shows clearly
enough how tired and colorless
the play is when a tournament
contestant, after having
finished all the rounds, is forced
again into struggle.
In this tournament Charousek
has raised himself to the top;
his performance has to be
evaluated even higher than
Chigorin's, for he won their
tournament game, yet he is
forced into a match and the
honor of first place is snatched
away from him.
I consider this to be entirely and
absolutely unjust.
For tournaments one always
needs sure devotion and strict
attention. When one is in the
running, he keeps his attention
until the tournament is over;
then for the moment a reaction
sets in; he is totally exhausted
and cannot collect himself,
recover, and force himself to
play well. Only the old foxes
endure and play like machines,
on and on the same. If one were
to play a match after ample
time off, the result would be
much different." {Manuel
Fruth}

VIII.CHAROUSEK S CHESS SUMMIT
The success at Budapest made Charousek extraordinary
popular in the Austrian-Hungary Monarchy of these days.
Finally a chess player was on the scene who might well
become world chess champion one day. Charousek
received many invitations from all over the world.
Everybody wanted to take a look at the winner of
Budapest 1896 and talk to him ! Charousek couldn't
refuse all invitations, as, for example, an invitation
stemming from the President of Honor of the Vienna
Chess Society, who was the main sponsor of the Budapest
tournament and by far the richest man in the
country:Baron Albert Rotschild. Therefore Charousek
visited the two capitals Vienna and Budapest at the end of
1896. His lectures, which were also simultaneous
exhibitions, were always frequented by many spectators.
In January 1897 a little tournament with only seven
participants took place at the Center of the Berlin Chess
Union. This event had remained almost unknown to the
history of chess. In the first round Charousek had to play
against the most inconvenient partner - Walbrodt.
Already in Nuremberg their game had lasted 87 moves
and in Budapest it was concluded with a stalemate upon
move 88. This time everything seemed to be o.k. for
Charousek. A rapid attack in the style of the old masters
enabled Rudolf to win at the 26th move. But the second
round proved to be unpleasant for him. Mieses, having
the white pieces, conducted the opening very powerfully
and finally won a piece. Charousek tried to launch a
desperate counterattack, created some counterchances,
but finally lost. The defeat soon deprived him of all hopes
Charousek's Chess Summit
153
for the first prize, and indeed, after a draw with
Bardeleben, the Hungarian master had to be content with
the second place. Bardeleben was the winner by 4.5
points out of 6 games and Charousek was following up
with half a point less. In my opinion the second prize
wasn't a failure, it was an achievement and important
experience !
After this tournament Charousek gave some more
simultaneous exhibitions in the German capital for more
than 4 weeks and finally returned to Nagyteteny.
In the meantime Charousek continued his studies at
university and again one “academic" year was over. Only
god knows how many lectures were missed by the young
lawyer ! Charousek had to decide upon his further life
and career. It was obvious that the dream of a lawyer's
career couldn't be linked with a successful chess career.
After a harsh discussion within the family's council
Rudolf refused to continue his studies. He moved with his
juridical and chess books back to Kassa, but only for a
short while. Due to his profession Rudolf's father was
transferred to Pelsocz and the family settled there on
October 12th in 1897.
One month later a super tournament was started in
Berlin with 19 world class players ! The 70th anniversary
of the Berlin Chess Union was celebrated and the
strongest European masters had gathered. Only Tarrasch
and Em.Lasker weren't present. Due to his bad health
Em.Lasker wouldn't play tournaments with more than 16
participants. Steinitz was also invited but his financial
demands weren't acceptable for the organisers, as he also
Charousek's Chess Summit
154
wanted to get paid half of his travelling expenses, which
were quite high at those days *.
The tournament started on September 13th. An
interesting sketch was published in "The Chess
Magazine" in September 1897:
"Looking at the fresh and healthy faces of the playing
participants in the light and beautiful hall of the
Architectural Society, we can't help being happy about
the fact that the intense mental labour hasn't effectes the
health, of the participants.
Chigorin for example has a blossoming suntanned face
with clear and buoyant eyes, although he is said to be a
very nervous player. In difficult situations he shows -
with a perfect undisturbed expression on his face - a
feverish excitation moving his knees.
His fellow countryman Schiffers reminds one of a
forester or an estate manager with his tall strong figure,
his fresh face and his grey beard.
An extraordinary distinctive phenomenon is the
chessplayer Alapin. His stout and heavy figure is clothed
in a jacket of light and bright fabric and in gray pants:
around his thick neck a crumpled handkerchief is tied.
Extremly fat lips are emphasized by a closely cropped
beard. The same might be said about the Viennese player
Englisch, whose round face with the Austrian whiskers
might have belonged to a Viennese banker or a merchant.
The English veteran of chess Blackburne with his gray
mustache, beard and crimson face of an old cavalryman
* This demand seems very modest today ! For example in 1926 E.Bogoljubow
demanded from the organisers of the tournament at Merano to pay his
travelling expenses and board and lodgings, including courses of treatment for
him, his wife, his two daughters and his mother-in-law. The Italians refused
with horror (Deutsche Schachblatter, 1926, p.494).
Charousek\s Chess Summit
155
of the times of the “Thirty Years War“ majestically gazes
at the field of the chess battle and contentedly draws on
his little pipe. Seeing the Berlin player Walbrodt with his
fair-haired head on a tiny puppet body, unintentionally
comes to mind the chess automaton, in which must be
enough place for such a miniature player as Walbrodt.
Teichmann and Caro from London and Cohn from
Berlin have more nervous and profound faces. Charousek
from Budapest with a narrow young face and expressive
sharp eyes obviously makes every effort to restrain his
youth temperament. Janowski from Paris having a bit of
demonism in his swarthy face with jet-black hair, more
reminds of a Paris fop going for a stroll than of the
thinker of King's game.
The most interesting person is, of course, the old
Winawer from Warsaw, who with his long black frock
coat and the pulled-down-on-eyes hat looks like a
talmudic teacher from the pictures of Hirzberg."
The tournament may well have been mixed up with an
American he-man movie:Phantastic adventures from the
very start to the very end. Already after the second round
Bardeleben withdrew from the tournament, 10 rounds
later Englisch followed him, and at the very end Albin
disappeared not playing his last two rounds. The
tournament situation steadily changed: Some of the
players had to play two games more than others, and
those, who had previously lost to Englisch and Albin,
were distressed anyway, as these results were taken into
account...
In the first round Charousek played against Walbrodt, of
course ! This time fate was favorable to the German
Grandmaster. He played marvelously and won
Charousek's Chess Summit
156
derservedly. In the fourth round Rudolf lost against Burn.
Up so far he had only scored one point out of four games !
Charousek had never had such a failure at the first quarter
of a tournament before. He achieved no victory until the
sixth round. A full point being committed by Bardeleben
only altered little, but anyway Rudolf again trusted in his
play. At round 10 Rudolf had even recovered more, as he
had managed to score 3 points in rounds 7-10. No loss
was inflicted in the meantime. He had achieved 5,5 points
out of 10 games so far and this mediocre result for the
winner of the Budapest tournament wasn't disappointing
but spurred on his ambitiomHe won 5 games in a row and
passed Marco, who after round 10 was still 2,5 points
ahead of Charousek and closed up to Janowski, now only
lagging half a point behind him ! He defeated Alapin,
Albin, Cohn, Janowski and Schiffers subsequently.
But the summit and showdown of this tournament still
lay ahead. Tournament standings were four rounds before
the tournament's end as follows:Janowski and
Blackburne had 11 points, Charousek 10.5, Walbrodt 10.
Charousek still had to play 4 games, wheras Walbrodt
only had to play his last game. Charousek beat all of his
three remaining competitors convincingly:Caro, Winawer
and in the last round Chigorin again. As Janowski only
made 1,5 points and Blackburne only two points,
Charousek became the surprising winner of one of the
strongest chess tournaments ever held. An enormous deed
was achieved by him having harvested 9 points out of the
9 last rounds ! This record may never be reached again in
world class tournaments of today as playing technique
and strength have are very much at a same level among
the top twenty.
Charousek's Chess Summit
157
Thus the Hungarian grandmaster Rudolf Charousek had
become the deserved winner of the international
supertournament Berlin 1897.
This victory turned out to be the summit of his chess
career (The sports and the creative results of the
tournament are shown at the games section of this book.)
The way home reminded of a triumphe march with stops
at Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Especially long
Charousek tarried at the Austrian capital. A very strong
match-tournament like at Petersburg 1895/1896 was to be
held there with the participation of Lasker, Tarrasch,
Pillsbury, Janowski and Charousek. The Viennese
organisation commitee considered them to be the
strongest chessplayers in the world.
Having finally returned to his motherland, Charousek
again went on tour this time visiting various places of
Hungary. We can still trace back some reports about his
stays at Miskolc and Kassa...
On Christmas, following the initiative of Dr.V.Exner,
the Budapest Chess Club this time tried to gather the
strongest players of Hungary. At Budapest a match-
tournament of four was organised. Charousek, Maroczy,
V.Exner and Havasi participated. Naturally Makovetz
declined categorically. After a long and interesting
struggle with Maroczy, Charousek achieved the first
position scoring 8.5 points out of 12 games. His
individual results were:Against his main competitor
Maroczy 2:2, against V.Exner 4:0 and against Havasi
2,5:1,5. Charousek had hereby become the absolute
champion of Hungary.
Charousek was buoyant and full of ideas. He was a
welcome guest in every competition. Charousek
depended on the prize funds in order to earn his living

and above all to continue serious tournament play.
D.Janowski challenged him for a match and from Vienna
came an invitation to an anniversary tournament in May
1898, honoring the 50-years-regency of their Emperor
Franz-Joseph:The Austrians decided to organise a double
round supertournament with 20 participants !
Life had shown its sunny side to the Hungarian
grandmaster...
Chigorin was honored by the depicted special envelope issued by the USSR
postal services in 1975.

IX.SORROWFUL END AND
IMMORTALITY
"All, all in this world is a chess game of the maestro
named the Lord"
G. Meyrink, "Der Golem"
(26)
During the spring of 1898 Charousek lived again in
Nagyteteny. He looked for an appartment as he had
decided to continue his juridical studies.
Many chess magazines were full of rumors about his
match with Janowski. In January Charousek wrote: "Mr.
Janowski ! I have read in the magazines that you want to
challenge me for a match. But I have received nothing
directly from you !“ Now Janowski confirmed the
challenge. He was ready to play any time for the amount
of 1500 Reichsmark or more. There was no answer and
the whole plan came to a dead end.
Charousek’s severe illness was the reason for this
failure. In February he had caught a cold, but he hadn't
paid attention to it. Meanwhile the latent illness had
shown its effects. A random influenza caused pneumonia
and incurable tuberculosis was not very far at that point.
In April Rudolfs state of health became so bad, that he
was forced to return to his hometown Pelsocz. On the
way there he had a breakdown and had to be taken from
the train and first aid treatment had to be given at
Miskolc. A good friend of Charousek's family,
Dr.Gescheit, began with elaborate treatment. The modest
village doctor turned out to be the guardian angel. Thanks
to his efforts the grandmaster not only survived another
two years, but also played in one more international
Sorrowful End and Immortality
222
tournament.... But let us tell things in the right order.
After some consultations of specialists from Miskolc
hospitalisation seemed to be necessary. Instead of
participating in the Vienna tournament starting on May
27th Rudolf went to the popular health resort Marilla
(South Transylvania) all June.
The intensified treatment had its effect. He recovered
more and more and was even able to participate in the
11th German Chess Congress held at Cologne in 1898.
The main tournament had 16 participants of whom seven
already had played in Vienna:Burn, Chigorin, Janowski,
Schiffers, Schlechter, Showalter and Steinitz. The Vienna
tournament was over July 30th and on August 1st the first
round was started at Cologne. The "wonderful seven" had
to hurry up. They spent the whole night on the train and
arrived just in time.
Charousek made 2.5 points out of 3 games at the very
start. Rudolf still had to play against the strongest
opponents. Now his poor health showed its negative
effects. The victories over Schallopp and Schiffers
weren't convincing and were attained more due to the
weak play of his opponents. But in round 4 he once again
became “The Champion of Hungary“. The brilliant game
with Albin aroused admiration. In the middle of the
tournament Chigorin, Cohn, Showalter and Steinitz were
in the lead. And also the winner Burn was ahead of
Rudolf. And Charousek had scored 50% against them so
far. In the 7th round the game Charousek against
Chigorin attracted general attention. Attacking with
enthusiasm the Hungarian sacrificed three pawns in a row
and an exchange sacrifice was soon to follow. Not being
baffled by these wild complications the champion of
Russia repulsed the attack and play was shifted to an
Sorrowful End and Immortality
223
ending in which one knight and 3 pawns of white were
wrestling with one bishop and 5 pawns of black. In this
seemingly hopeless ending Charousek managed to build a
fortress:Draw !. An annoying defeat from Berger in round
13 was compensated by a successful finish:Two points
out of two games. In the last before the last round Rudolf
faced his "eternal opponent" D.Janowski. Fantastic
complications arose, Charousek sacrificed the exchange
and little by little won three pawns for it. One of them
was given back as the queens were traded off and the
remaining material secured a safe victory. All in all, sick
Charousek showed healthy play. He shared ranks 2-4
with Chigorin and Cohn. It was not a bad achievement at
all having been the last tournament of his life.
After the tournament, an amusement voyage along the
Rhine from Cologne to Koblenz was organised for
August 21st. On the steamboat Charousek played two
brilliant games with Schallopp and Schlechter. These
games became the young genius's swan song. Afterwards
he had to stop public appearances and only played
seldom, mainly with friends.
At the end of the year Charousek went to the famous
Italian health resort Merano and returned to Pelsocz in the
March of 1899. At home Dr. Gescheit and especially his
mother organised good care for the sick man. Following a
doctor's advice, Rudolf and his mother rented an
apartment in Nagyteteny where the clinic "Koranyi"
provided the most sophisticated treatment within
Hungary. The transfer took place on April 18th.
Charousek was destined to live for exactly another 365
days. This strange coincidence made some dilettante
astrologists talk about predetermination...
Sorrowful End and Immortality
224
In July of the same year Charousek was sent to
Gleichenburg*. His treatment lasted one month and for a
while he felt better, but it was only for the last time.
Although the grandmaster stopped playing chess, chess
wasn't forgotten. Just like in his student's years he began
to make abstract notes of games of famous masters.
Kalniczky wrote that in Charousek's notebooks 317
games were contained. A scorebook that has not come to
the public's daylight, yet, but will be published by our
company soomlt was recently found in Hungary and will
be published as a second volume to this piece of work...
(23).
The community of chess players was worried about the
health of one of its idols. In November, chess players
from Vienna and Budapest raised funds in order to enable
Charousek to buy a six-week-ticket for the sanatorium
Arco in Italy. This time the treatment had no effect at all.
On December 12th Charousek's health had deteriorated
so much that he decided to return to Nagyteteny. Two
weeks later an accident happened: Charousek lost
consciousness and hit his head. At the beginning of 1900
he was fading little by little, his vital forces were waning,
and on April 18th he died in his mother's arms. He had
only become 26 years...
"Tis all a chequerboard of nights and days
Where destiny with men for pieces plays;
Hither and thither moves and mates and slays
And one by one in the closet lays."
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
In Austria, near the border between Hungary and Yugoslavia
Sorrowful End and Immortality
225
In living memory
The talented play of the young Hungarian grandmaster
has always been highly estimated by the chess world.
Let's take a look at some obituary notes:
Emanuel Lasker, 1896: "I shall have to play a
championship match with this man someday/1
Leopold Hoffer, 1896:“A11 the top players (with only one
exception) admit that Charousek is a genius. He has an
exceptional knowledge of theory - not routine knowledge
- and plays the middlegame as well as the endgame..."
The Chess Monthly, Vol.XXVII (28).
Mikhail Chigorin, 1896: "A new Morphy will come and
defeat all. Is it Charousek ? Highly probably. He is
young, energetic, in a good physical form - all abilities
for that...."
Letter dated December 26th.
Armin Friedmann, 1898: "This Hungarian - although he
was bom in Prague, he is a genuine Magyar - has been
correctly described as the most brilliant chess genius
since the glorious days of Paul Morphy. At Kassa he
copied out some material out of Bilguer's gigantic
compendium page by page. He was so poor that he had to
accomplish this. The story of his irresistable advance in
Berlin, how he stormed and conquered and reached the
goal, will always be prevalent in the memory of the
friends of chess. This effervascent, fiery brain, this
personified chessman, who lives for chess and for whom
the rest of the world is barred by chess, had to stay away
(from the Vienna tournament). Such exclusive, fanatic
Sorrowful End and Immortality
226
devotion to chess seems to be excessive, even ridiculous
to many; yet it characterizes the subject and the man - and
the game may after all be a little more than a game."
"Pester Lloyd", June 20th 1900.
Mikhail Chigorin, 1900: "The name of Charousek was
very famous among chessplayers, his games with a
number of original, brilliant and profound combinations
attracted general attention."
April 6th 1900(19).
Philip Sergeant in 1919: "One more point must be noted
when we compare Charousek with the majority of the
world's finest chess players, living and dead. Charousek
never reached the zenith of his powers. He "slipped
betimes away" and it is not possible for us to judge what
greater heights he might have reached in his art, if his life
hadn't closed in its spring."
"Charousek's games of Chess" (4).
Richard Reti in 1922: "He forgot his opponent, he
remembered only one aim. Sometimes he ran against a
stone wall, other times he found a weak point and broke
through. So we see his play - always straightforward and
very simple. So simple that nobody can imitate it."
"Modern Ideas in Chess" (30).
Evgenij Vasjukov in 1972: "The distinctiveness of
Charousek's play lies in the fact, that among all young
chessplayers of that time he was the most foreign to the
school of Steinitz and the closest adherent to the school of
Chigorin. 'My best teacher', - said Charousek about
Chigorin. He boldly played the Evans Gambit, King's
Sorrowful End and Immortality
227
Gambit, Scotch Gambit against the strongest opponents
and defeated all of them. But there is much more. As
Pillsbury, he could fill the Queen's Gambit with new
combinational life and achieved brilliant victories.
Chigorin himself studied the skills of these two young
chessplayers. In particular, Charousek showed beautiful
models of victorious attacks in the Queen's Gambit in two
brilliant games against Chigorin..."
From his co-authored book "Mikhail Chigorin" (29).
Nigel Short, 1992: "Occasionally the chess world is
robbed of a player of enormous potential by untimely
death. One such a man was Rudolf Charousek from
Hungary, who flared all to briefly at the end of last
century."
"Weekend
Telegraph".
In 1912 and 1914 the memories of Dr. Kalniczky were
brought to the daylight of the public - a brief essay of
Charousek's life and creative activity.
One year later the classic of Austrian literature, Gustav
Meyrink, wrote the novel "Der Golem". Some sources
still claim that Charousek is the personification of the
unnamed main character of this novel, although this must
be doubted very much (annotation Manuel Fruth).
In 1919 in England the first Charousek biography was
published (4) with 146 of Charousek's games by Philip
W. Sergeant, and ten years later in Germany the second
games collection (3) with 101 games of the Hungarian
grandmaster was published by Bachmann.
But the biggest collection of material about Rudolf is in
the many-volumed "The History of Hungarian Chess"
(Magyar Sakktortenet/2). Editors are the wellknown
Sorrowful End and Immortality
228
Hungarian historicians Foldeak and Bottlik as well as GM
Gedeon Barcza:They have done great work ! Practically
all biographical facts and 170 games are given.
This collection for example comprises 248 games.
Two compositions, dedicated to Charousek, are
interesting.
In 1966 a new tombstone for Charousek's grave was inaugurated in
Nagyteteny. From left to right:Hajtun, Foldeak, Dr.Sallay, Vajda, Barcza.

A monumentous memorial statue
was built directly in front of the
house where Charousek had lived.
More often the famous
chessplayer is remembered by his
great games, not by his tombstone.
Therefore the last games of
Charousek convey a certain flavor,
mostly unknown to the modem
reader. His death came too soon to
present a detailed mosaic...

X. RUDOLF CHAROUSEK PLAYS
CORRESPONDENCE CHESS
The history of correspondence chess in Hungary can be
traced back to the match Paris vs.Pest, which lasted from
1842 to 1845. The French were defeated by 0 to 2.
During the second half of the nineteenth century
Hungarians mainly participated in foreign individual
matches and tournaments. For example 28 Hungarians
took part in the competitions of the magazine "Le Monde
Illustre" (Paris) and 8 Hungarians played at the
tournament "La Strategic". Quite a mass !
The idea of holding the first Hungarian tournament by
telegraph had matured and found its conclusion in the
magazine "Budapesti Sakkszemle" (=Budapest Chess
Review/22). The long awaited announcement appeared in
the double issue 3-4 of 1893. Sixteen participants were
expected to join this tournament. Rigorous rules were laid
down: "...Discussing the moves with other persons is not
permitted, everybody must play independently ... “Agreed
Games'4 are banned, all games have to be fought out to the
very end... No game may be drawn within the first 50
moves.'' But experience showed later that these rules were
easily avoided by the players:The 50-moves draw rule
f.e.was avoided by move repetitions:The organisers had put
themselves into a quandary. Adjudicating the unfinished
games they didn't have the right to and so draws had to be
fixed...
Nineteen players were finally enlisted to the tournament.
The list of the participants with their adresses was soon
published in the triple issue 8-10 1893 of "Budapesti
Sakkszemle" (^Budapest Chess Review/22). Five were from
Budapest: G.Maroczy, F.Kozmata, G.Kanyurszky, J. Fellner
Rudolf Charousek Plays Correspondence Chess
252
and J. Siito. Charousek lived at Kassa at that time. The other
13 players represented almost all regions of Hungary.
The mentioned issue of the magazine contains a big article,
signed by "K.M.". The detailed tournament rules were
offprinted and victory predictions were made. The
triumvirate Mayer, Exner and Maroczy was expected to
provide the winner and Charousek was only an outsider. A
prize fund of 100, 50 and 30 Kronen for the first 3 ranks had
been raised. The tournament committee comprised S.Jacobi,
G.Makovetz and Dr.M.Pollack. The starting date was July
12th in 1893.
The thinking time was 8 days a move and proved as much
too long. The aftermaths may be seen from the tournament
table. Letters got often lost in those days, so it was
recommended to send the moves by telegraph. It was very
convenient for Charousek to give the correspondence to his
father (he was a telegraph operator) even without having to
leave home. Playing went on quickly and already by the end
of the same year Rudolf had finished four games: victories
over Beu, Gesztesi and Siito and a draw with Niedermann.
The first game Charousek finished in 1894 was the game
against his chief competitor:Hereby may be noted that G.
Maroczy was only three years older and that he had already
a brilliant career as a chess player in prospect (The first prize
at the Hastings 1895 Minor Tournament and the master title
were obtained by him one and a half year after this
correspondence game with Charousek). Both of them were
proclaimed the chess hopes of Hungarian chess at that time.
Their correspondence meeting was their first serious game
and everybody awaited an uncompromising struggle. The
rivals equalled each other in playing strength and
experience. An interesting struggle eventually ended in a
draw.
The student from Kassa had taken a considerable lead in
the tournament. Maroczy had lost against Siito and
Rudolf Charousek Plays Correspondence Chess
253
Charousek harvested one point after the other. Today we
know that eight more games were finished in that year.
Victories over Csipkes, Vertes, Konyovits, Kozmata and
Bartsch confirmed the glory of a "Second Morphy".
A wrong image of Paul Morphy is often given in the chess
public:His combinational deeds are proclaimed as
masterpieces often not taking into account the sound
positional basis they were erected upon ! Let's listen to some
words of Alekhine from 1914: "The strength of Morphy was
his profound positional knowledge...". Such an expert as
Alekhine should be be relied on ! Charousek was an
allround talent. Unfortunately the samples of his positional
play are mostly unknown to the “modern reader11. The game
with Mayer fills this gap only to a certain degree. Gedeon
Barcza highly esteems his game as a masterpiece of
positional domination.
In 1895, two years after the correspondence had been
started, playing enthusiasm had diminished more and
more....More letters got lost, almost no telegrams were sent
and the general interest was also lost... Everybody began to
blame the rules:The real thinking time couldn't be traced...
Eight days to think about only one move is too much...etc.
etc. etc.
The games slowed down more and more and the
tournament commitee had to nil more and more games, as
more and more competitors had abandoned this
tournament...
And also the Budapest Chess Review had ceased to be and
so the spreading of tournament news etc.had become even
harder. In the middle of 1896 12 players still played and
only a few games were still in process:The commitee was
only to nil a few more games and to watch the sad result...
The first correspondence tournament by post in chess history
had ended in a chaos.
Rudolf Charousek Plays Correspondence Chess
254
Due to Maroczy's notebooks the following tournament
situation had arosen (a few games still had to be played):
Charousek-15.5, Mardczy- 15, V.Exner- 14.5; Csipkes-
13.5:Mar6czy defeated Csipkes; Charousek and V.Exner
agreed on a draw... Now the tournament table could be
presented to the public:The new magazine "Magyar
Sakkujsag" (= Hungarian Chess Reports) offprinted the
correct tournament table in 1897 on page 197:84 of 171
games were unfinished and were adjudicated !
“You must spool before you spin“, as the saying goes...
Also Charousek's four unfinished games against
Kanyurszky, Fellner, Kelemen and Korchmaros had to be
adjudicated.
The results of the top 6 players are hereby given:
Participants	Finished			Adjudicated		Points	Rank
	+	-	=	+	-		
1. R. Charousek	10	0	4	4	0	16	1-2
2. G. Maroczy	8	1	2	7	0	16	1-2
3. G. Exner	8	2	2	6	0	15	3
4. A. Csipkes	7	3	1	6	1	13.5	4
5. A. Vertes	6	2	2	6	1	13	5
6. G. Mayer	7	3	2	4	2	12	6
The complete crosstable of the 1st Individual Hungarian
Correspondence Chess Championship 1893-1897 doesn't
depict an objective image of tournament play. It was kind of
an unusual experiment at those days...
Anyway, the friends and rivals, Charousek and Maroczy,
shared first prize and Charousek hadn't lost a single game !

• Chess Life at Budapest in 1898
Budapest as many big cities around the world may offer a colorful
chess life and furthermore many aficionados. Two chess centers are
especially important: "Budapest! sakkozo tarasag" and "Budapest!
sakkor". "Budapest! sakkozo tarasag" was founded in 1896 and
therefore its history is too short to be told, whereas the "Budapest!
sakkor" can trace its roots back to the fourties of this century with
many illustrious names:Szen,von Kolisch,L6wenthal,Lipschutz,
Gunsberg, Charousek, Mardczy, Fahndrich, Gold, Kemeny among
others...
At these days it is managed and operated by these
gentlemen President Alex.Fleissig, vice-presidents O.T.Blathy and
L.Kr^l, secretary R. Charousek, controller J.Siito, cashier E.Schaffer
and librarian A.Fest.
Hungarian chess life consists mainly of the "Budapest! sakkor" life.
In 1898 the club site had to be transferred twice, so chess activities
had to be reduced by a wide margin. The new club local is at the
cafe Academie (Arany Janos-Gasse 5).
Above all many raffle tournaments were held, which were
regularly frequented and play normally lasted until midnight. And a
serious odds tournament separated into two classes took place:Pawn
and moves were given... Tournament play was staged twice a week.
The results were:l.N.Konyovits 9,5 2.A.Fest 8,5 3.J.Siito 7,5
4.J.K6sa 6 (2nd group) 5. V.A.Tynaire 5,5 (2nd group)
The tournament director was Geza Maroczy, who also gave a
simultaneous exhibition on 21 boards at the very start of the
tournament, only losing three games and drawing one.
An excellent result for Maroczy as he faced the strongest players !
A tournament book about the grand tournament in 1896 is planned
and shall be published in the spring of 1899. All the games will be
annotated by G.Maroczy and R.Charousek.
Normal evenings at the chess club are always not only frequented
by the numerous members, but also by many chess „commuters44 or
just visitors of Budapest. The strongest chess players of our club
G.Maroczy and R.Charousek always give lectures and analyse with
the other club members. Therefore the "Budapesti sakkor" is surely
one of the strongest in the world. R.Charousek -due to his bad
health- wasn't able to visit the chess club in the last winter and had
to stay at Merano. He recovered very well and will stimulate this
year's chess life substantially ! Apart from the over the board
players one mustn't neglect the problem composers joining
"Budapesti sakkor" :M.Ehrenstein, S.Schuster and above all
O.T.Blathy, who is known for his sophisticated and instructive
many-movers. More and more chess players join our club and I also
hope that more members will be prepared to support our chess
activities.

Appendix D.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO Budapest 1896
(This Article was published in the triple issue Sakk6let 10-12/1996, pp.372- 376,
translated into German by Georg Blaho and into English by Manuel Fruth)
In 1896 the Hungarian people celebrated its 1000th anniversary. Many festivities
took place which pleased contemporaries and is still pleasing today:during the 2-
week-chess-tournament the Franz-Joseph bridge was inaugurated, the museum of
arts and crafts was opened and the dangerous rocky Southern part of the Danube
(today:the Serbocroatian and Romanian parts) may be accessed by the general
public via shipping companies and lines...
2,5 millions of spectators visited the big millenium exhibition as well as the
presentation of the belles artes at the art museum. These were the highlights
attracting and having ist impact on a whole nation.
The growing importance of Hungarian chess and the rising number of grand
international chess happily coincided. Gyula Makovetz's victory at Graz in 1890
and his shared 2nd place at Dresden in 1892 and above all Maroczy's success at
the minor tournament in Hastings 1895 and his overwhelming performance
attaining the 2nd place at Nuremberg in 1896 were the first signs. The favorable
conditions for Hungarians were improved by the rising of the grand international
tournaments of this period. Charousek was their new star rising on the heavens of
chess.
The organisation of the grand Budapest tournament was the logical consequence
of this evolution. Five years ago the leading heads of the Budapest chess club had
decided at their Christmas meeting to hold a big international tournament in 1895. A
detailed plan can be traced in the January 1892 issue of the “Budapesti Sakk-
Szemle" (= Budapest Chess Review/22). Due to more favorable circumstances the
tournament was postponed by one year. In the meantime the Hastings and
Nuremberg tournaments had taken place and Charousek had grown stronger and
stronger...
7 out of the top ten of the Nuremberg tournament in 1896 also made their
appearance at Budapest. Only Em.Lasker and Steinitz wouldn't participate as they
had to prepare for their World Chess Championship rematch 1896/1897. It was the
first Hungarian international world tournament with an exceedingly good
international participation which may only be compared to the one at Budapest 54
years later.
It was planned to produce a tournament book and there were Ft 660 left as
earnings from the Grand Tournament. Rudolf Charousek was the author and
worked several months on this project. But his proceeding tuberculosis and other
commitments prevented him from finishing his work. After his death the manuscript
was first handed over to Janos Gajdos, then Istvan Abonyi and finally Geza
Maroczy, who published this book 45 years after the tournament (12).
Laszlo Toth was the editor and his opinion about tournament books in general is
hereby added as an interesting marginal note. In 1941 he was the proprietor of the
biggest Hungarian chess library with ca.5000 units:This splendid collection was
dissolved in 1946 as an act of communist politics:“Not without reason I have
published a games collection and not a tournament book. In those days one or two
big international tournaments were held a year and about the major tournaments
very detailed reports were written, whereas little tournaments were only taken into
account with small collections of games in form of booklets."
Anyway it is very probable that most of the few comments came from Charousek
and Mardczy did only the layout and formatting. Apart from the light notes no
tournament report was contained and one third of the played games were
additionally reported within the world press. These were the only used sources by
John C.Owen, who published an English tournament book in 1994 (s.Nr.13
Bibliography) with all the old mistakes inherent... Probably he never took a look at
the Vols.2+3 of Magyar Sakktortenet (= Hungarian Chess History).
It is remarkable that the contemporary news reports were written by normal
commentators who had nothing to do with chess. Some of them wrote that the
chess players had to move every 10 or 15 minutes or that Walbrodt and Popiel
moved very slowly as it was their first tournament... Furthermore many irrelevant
stories were written:The players were served by normal garcons while playing,
Walbrodt is playing with his pen nervously and Winawer with his hat, whereas
Dr.Noa and Pillsbury are smoking like hell...
Let's return to serious facts:Play began at 10.30 am and unfinished games were
continued the same day from 4 pm to 6 pm. The stakes were high:For places 1-7
the following amounts were available:2500, 2000, 1500, 1000, 600, 400 and 200
Kronen. Tarrasch had the best result against the players who finished at the top
and was honored with 100 Kronen and a special price by Hoffer: 17 Volumes of the
magazine “The Chess Monthly". In those days a good salary was 100 Kronen a
month and f.e.Maroczy earned as a draftsman 4 Kronen per day. At Hastings 1895
and Nuremberg 1896 the prices were as an average 30 % higher, but these
tournaments also lasted longer and Great Britain and Germany were (are) two of
the richest countries in the world...
Mardczy played badly and had a disastrous finish:« point out of 4 games. He was
only the reserve for Makovetz who refused to play a few days before the tournament
started. Winawer had the best start:6 points out of 7 games, but an even worser
finish than Maroczy:» point out of 5 games due to a rotten cucumber which gave
him an upset stomach and the strong opponents in the last rounds.
Chigorin was now at the top but lost his next game against Schlechter and so
Charousek and Pillsbury shared first position with him. In the last round Charousek
and Chigorin won and Pillsbury lost.
The (un-)necessary match was won by Chigorin convincingly, +1+1-0+1: 3-1.
There were two options available for the winnera.the money prize:2500 Kronen b.A
massive “Victoria" statue (12 kilos !) to be handed over by the king.
It is understandable that Chigorin chose the money prize and the Budapest Chess
Club bought the cup from the king for 2500 Kronen. It got lost in the aftermaths of
World War I and the Budapest Chess Club had squandered its whole fortune on
war loans.
