Great players of all time: What is your opinion of Jacques Mieses?

"Jacques Mieses was born in Leipzig in 1865 and died in London in 1954. He was one of the best representatives of the modern school of chess, but it was an attacking player with a fantastic imagination. In his youth he did not accept the principles of Steinitz, but came to master them to perfection. However, the game always retained a romantic drive. He won a few tournaments, but many beauty awards. His greatest success was obtained in the Vienna tournament of 1907, which won ahead of Duras and Schlechter Maroczy. He had to flee Nazi barbarism he was Jewish, and British nationalized. Was an international referee, renowned writer and editor. "

Anecdotes:

Once, Anderssen captured a piece of his opponent claimed that the gain of the game and the tournament, and threw it back happily.

occasion del Torneo de Londres de 1862, se jugaron varias partidas de exhibición que hicieron las delicias de los espectadores. Una de ellas fue en consulta entre Anderssen, Dubois y Paulsen, que llevaban piezas blancas, contra Lowenthal, Boden y Kennedy. Antes de empezar, Anderssen se dirigió a sus dos compañeros en consulta y les dijo: "Hemos de distribuirnos el trabajo, así que Paulsen hará las jugadas precisas; Dubois hará las brillantes, y yo haré las malas."

“Respecto a su carácter es ilustrativa la anécdota que relata Zoilo Caputto en su maravilloso libro ‘El arte del estudio de ajedrez’: “cuando regresó victorioso del primer torneo internacional London, students had prepared a jubilant reception with the gift of a statue representing Victory.

Upon entering the classroom after a long absence, there was a profound silence, but not well located noticed the statue on his desk, frowning teacher thundered with his usual asperity:

- What is there that little woman?

students were stunned and spent a few seconds before the first class dared to stammer the congratulations of all. "

http://escacscervello.wordpress.com/seccion-tecnica-2/biografias/adolf-anderssen/

"Regarding his relationship with Steinitz, also Zoilo R. Caputto account in his beautiful book 'The art of chess study' the following story: "Among the great chess champions have been very few fans to write letters, and Anderssen and Steinitz, apparently, were among the least likely.

When the two met in a tournament in London in 1862 soon became good friends, and regardless of the tournament played each other frequently. When the tiny bounce Steinitz shook hands with the immense Anderssen, and also knowing of his reluctance to write letters said

- Professor, when I write you not to answer me.

- I never answer, "replied Anderssen.

- And I never write ... - Steinitz concluded. "

http://escacscervello.wordpress.com/seccion-tecnica-2/biografias/adolf-anderssen/

" For chess represented Anderssen a passion play that he devoted almost all his spare time. This fact influenced who never married, devoting their math and German, Breslau, throughout his life. This unbridled passion led him to star in amusing anecdotes, can read as follows: Anderssen

One night he sat at the board and began to study a problem. The more was lost in all possible variations, most games played against itself. I was so fascinated with the beauty of that game, they lost track of time and circumstances, so not feeling any fatigue. When suddenly someone knocked at the door, angrily interrupted his thoughts and then held the following conversation with his housekeeper:

Anderssen: "Go quietly to bed. I am now very busy "

Liesbeth:" What did you say, please? "

Anderssen: "Do not bother me. You know I can resist perfectly all night. Call me tomorrow morning, as always! "

Liesbeth:" Professor, "are you okay?"

Anderssen: "Creature, I'm just not very good, but also you should not bother now. I am just as important. Term then "

Liesbeth:" You know professor, you have not slept absolutely nothing. Since I have experience of other times. But ... you have not heard the bells of dawn? "

Anderssen:" The bells of dawn?. Could have sworn they were bells night. Do not get confused? "

Liesbeth:" Professor, "I" I slept all night, 'I'm not dreamin'. "

"A viewer of the tournament in Baden-Baden 1870 Neumann asked as he had done to defeat the great Anderssen in the two games they played.

Neumann replied: "It is all the merit of my great teacher." Inquisitor hesitant

continued: "Who is your teacher?" Neumann smiling

said: "The great Anderssen!"

The match against Morphy:

"Anderssen was considered by many as the most important player in the world, until in 1858 he was defeated by the American Paul Morphy in a match held in Paris (-7 +2 = 2).
