Quite a few accomplished chess players ended up becoming mentally ill later in their careers- but is chess itself responsible for its players’ problems? www.patreon.com/allmadpod SOURCES https://members.tripod.com/HSK_Chess/steinitz.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/five-myths/five-myths-about-chess/2020/11/20/529fb63a-2a79-11eb-9b14-ad872157ebc9_story.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Steinitz https://www.chess.com/article/view/can-anyone-be-an-im-or-gm Chess and Mental Illness: 12 Chess Player Who Suffered From Severe Mental Problems http://tartajubow.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-tragic-story-of-brilliant-alvis.html https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0004-282X2020000300169 https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/editorial/the-most-dangerous-game#:~:text=After%20he%20lost%20his%20championship,inmate%20up%20for%20a%20game.

By the 1920s, the modern and more scientific approach to chess that began with Wilhelm Steinitz had been around for over half a century. It seemed that the core principles of the game had been discovered. Then one man arrived and challenged everything. This is the story of Aron Nimzowitsch. The game this time is Nimzowitsch vs. Sämisch, Copenhagen (1923).

Der 1. Schachweltmeister war eine Kämpfernatur und scheute keine Auseinandersetzung. Seine Partie gegen Bardeleben ist heute ein Klassiker, den nahezu jeder Schachspieler kennt.

Durante grande parte do Século XX o Campeonato Mundial de Xadrez representou as disputas políticas do mundo. A disputa do mundial de 1972 ganhou proporções muito maiores justamente por estar vinculada a Guerra Fria. Outro ponto importante dos mundiais de xadrez aconteceu no fim dos anos 80, com disputas internas e caminhando para a sua ruptura a situação da União Soviética foi representada nas finais dos mundiais de 1984 a 1990, sempre entre Anatoly Kaspov e Gary Kasparov. Confira agora essas histórias no Lado B do Esporte! Links e informações Texto do site Aventuras na História que serviu de base para a criação do roteiro O filme “O Dono do Jogo”, título em português, também serviu como base para este episódio. Confira a ficha técnica do filme aqui. Antes da oficialização do mundial de xadrez Paul Morphy foi campeão mundial em 1858. Após a oficialização do campeonato, Wilhelm Steinitz venceu o mundial três vezes, 1889, 1891 e 1892. Apesar de ter sido campeão sob a bandeira americana, Steinitz era de origem austríaca. Dessa forma, Bobby Fischer é considerado o único americano nato campeão mundial de xadrez.

O segundo Campeão Mundial, Emanuel Lasker, o Lutador! Campeão Mundia no período de 1894 a 1921, conquistou o título máximo do Xadrez ao vencer Wilhelm Steinitz, defendendo com êxito frente a Steinitz; Marshall, Tarrasch, Janowski e Shlechter. Entre as suas principais características de jogo tinha uma excelente técnica defensiva e valia-se do aspecto psicológico, considerando as características de cada adversário. Talvez a sua principal façanha tenha sido manter o título de Campeão mundial por 27 anos! Algo que talvez jamais seja batido! Marcou a história do Xadrez por um longo período, foi o pioneiro na busca pela defesa dos jogadores profissionais, apesar de seu enorme talento e contribuição ao mundo do Xadrez, deixou sua marca também na filosofia e matemática.

Wilhelm Steinitz foi o primeiro Campeão Mundial de Xadrez reconhecido pela Federação Internacional de Xadrez (FIDE). Steinitz, certamente deixou um grande legado para as futuras gerações, dentre as quais destacamos a Teoria de Steinitz, onde o Campeão Mundial nos demonstra a verdadeira iniciação do jogo estratégico-posicional por meio do desenvolvimento de alguns princípios importantes: Princípio do Ataque, Princípio da Defesa, Princípio das Posições Equilibradas e o Princípio da Acumulação de Vantagem (Vantagens constantes e variáveis).

Hans Olav Lahlum og Atle Grønn kommer til Litteraturhuset i Trondheim for å snakke om sin nye bok Sjakkgeniene; historien om verdensmesterne. Sjakkgeniene er sjakkens verdenshistorie fortalt gjennom portretter av de seksten verdensmesterne som har regjert innen sjakken siden 1886. Historien starter med Wilhelm Steinitz og ender med Magnus Carlsen. Boka fokuserer på de gode historiene snarere enn de kompliserte sjakktrekkene. Sentralt i beretningen er spørsmålet om sjakkgeniets vesen: Hvilke personligheter og karakterer skjuler seg egentlig bak de geniale sjakktrekkene? Hans Olav Lahlum (f. 1973) er historiker, forfatter, politiker og sjakkspiller. Lahlum har vært sjakkspaltist i Oppland Arbeiderblad og ekspertkommentator i sjakk for VGTV og TV2. Atle Grønn (f. 1971) er sjakkspiller og professor i russisk ved UiO. Han er sjakkspaltist i Aftenposten og sjakkommentator på NRK og VGTV.

Hvem er menneskene bak de geniale trekkene? Hvilke type mennesker er det som kan bli verdensmestere i sjakk? Hvilke personligheter skjuler seg bak de brilliante trekkene? I Sjakkgeniene tar Hans Olav Lahlum og Atle Grønn en nærmere titt på de 16 verdensmesterne vi har hatt siden 1886, fra Wilhelm Steinitz til Magnus Carlsen. Finnes det noen fellestrekk? Hva er det et slikt medlem av den såkalte kongerekken ser over et sjakkbrett som vi andre ikke får øye på? Forfatter og sjakkentusiast Eivind Riise Hauge leder samtalen.

In 1961, Wisconsin optometrist Arthur Duperrault chartered a yacht to take his family on a sailing holiday in the Bahamas. After two days in the islands, the ship failed to return to the mainland, and the unfolding story of its final voyage made headlines around the world. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll recount the fate of the Bluebelle and its seven passengers and crew. We'll also sympathize with some digital misfits and puzzle over some incendiary cigarettes. Intro: John Brunner's novel The Squares of the City encodes an 1892 chess game between Wilhelm Steinitz and Mikhail Chigorin. Around 1730 Ben Franklin laid out 11 "necessary hints to those that would be rich." Sources for our feature on the Bluebelle: Richard D.
