WHAT ABOUT SALTZJOBADEN?

T !ME grows short as the 1952 World Championship Interzonal TOUl'nament is scheduled for Salt:l:jobadcn , Sweden from S("!Ptcmber 14

to October 14, 1952. FIDE Zone 4 (The United Stales) is entitled to designate two players as qualified to enler this Interzonal eVi"!nt, since n o Zonal Tournamen t was held in 1951.

But, to date, no announcement has been issued r egarding what players shall be deemed worthy oC representing the USA in th is most important tournament which wi!! qualify the Cortunate ranking players for participation in the next World Championship Candidates' Tourna· menf.

Since the players selected will need to f inance lheir own expenses to this epic chess contest, i t is only just that their appointments should be made public sufficiently in advance to permit them to collect funds. Our Canadiun ne ighbors, more alert to the necessities of tournament finances, have already undertaken in Canadian Chess Chat a campaign to raise funds on behalf of the des~nated Canadian p layer, Povilns Va itonis. Is the USA faled to lag behind?

EFIM' DMITRIEVICH BOGOLIUBOV An Appreciation of a Great Russian. Chess Master

- By DR. FEODOR BOHATIRCHUK 011""'01, C .. naJ ..

I BECAME acquainted with Efim Dmitrievich in Kiev's chess club, where I Clime one evening of the winter ot 1908. I was then 16

years old , a gymnasiast (Le. student in a pl'eparatory schoo)); he wore the uniform of a local seminary (theological schoon. The s tudents of t.h is school never visiled the chess club and therclore the newcomer attracted the altenlion of everybody. But there was ,mother reason for such aUenlion-lhe young seminarist demonstrated an extraordinary chess skill, defeating easily aU the best playcrs of the clu~. It was un· usual in the club, but Bogoliubov was at once given lhe first category and he entered the handicap tournament which .started this evening in this capacity. I was a weaker player and participated in the same tournament as 5th category player.

In this tirst tournament in his life Bogoliubov finished second {tirst went to Kiev's champion, B. Isbinsky). After this debut Bogoliu· bov very quickly rated among Kiev's best players. It was not so easy because at this time many good players r esided in Kiev permanently. Besides the above mentioned B. Isbinsky, who died early, such masters as Lowtsky, Dus·Chotimirsky, B. Bernstein visited the chess club or a cafe every evening. L

I remember how seriously Bogoliubov had taken up chess. It was more than a hObby for him, he dreamt of being a chess champion. We laughed at him, we could not understand his desire to become a chess professional ; but he did not pay any attention to our jokes and stu~ bornly continued h is chess studies. I remember that even at th15 time he surprised his adversaries with extraol'dinary knowledge of chess openings; the famous Bogoliubov's "trunk of variations" was a real threat to all his opponents.

In 1909 Bogoliubov took part in the St. Petersburg preliminary tournament in which young Alekhine placed first. Though 8ogoliubov in this tournament demonstrated also his extraordinar y ehess talent, h e himself was quite unsatisfied with his results-he simply did not understand how it could h appen that he did not take fjrst place in such a "weak" tournament. Even at this ti me the self-confidence of Bogoliubov was the topie of our jokes. But he was never angry with us and liked to say: "He who laughs last, laughs best." It was really difficult to believe then that this theological student would become one of the best players in the world.

In 1910 E. Bogoliubov entered a Warsaw polyteehnieal high school but was obliged to quit it very soon beeause chess left him too little time for stud ies in polytechnics. •

In 1914 many Russian players. including Alekhine, Bogoliubov, Romanovsky, Rabinovich and others (me, too), were sent to represent the Russian chess art at the A1annheim International Tournaments. Alek· hine and Bogoliubov, h aving the tiUe of chess master, entered an in· t ernational ehess' tournament; all the others took part in difCerent ad· ditional tournaments. In this extraordinarily strong tournamcnt Bogoliubov did not play so well as it was expected; maybe the Wlusual European surroundings distracted his attention from the play.

Alter the war broke out (World War I), all the Russian players but three (Alekhine, Saburov a nd I) were interned in Soutb Germany for the period of the whole war . Bogoliubov married a German l:ady and very soon became the happy Cather of two charming girls. At the end of the war all of the Russian players returned home b ut Bogoliuboy, who remained with his family (and A. Selezniew also remained .

Until 1924 I heard very little about Bogoliubov; it was the Ume o[ military communism and we had in mind rather the bread and potatoes but not chess, Scarce communications (rom abroad informed us about the progress in Bogoliubov's chess career. •

Afler a new economical policy (NEP) was proclaimed by Lenin, life became a little casier , and we again began to play chess. In 1924 Bogoliubov and Selezniev <lcccptcd the invitation to the All-Russian (.'hampionship.

We expeded to meet a shabby-chess professional, but we were surprised to come aeross instead a modern European, dressed as a London dandy, smoking occasionally a very expensive cigar. Such a metamor· phosis of our fri end seemed to be a fairy t2le! And how wonderfully he played chess! He took the first prile with t.he utmost ease. having lost no games.

He was a real superior class of chess player, unknown to us. A5 in the times at Kiev, the knowledge of chess openi ngs was the strong· cst weapon in the hands of Bogoliubov. Next year Bogoliubov won easily a match with P. Romanovsky. But his real triumph was his in the 1st Moscow Internationd Tournament in 1925. He fin ished first, before Capablanca (then in the zcniih of his fame) and Lasker. IIis deep and brilliant play made us p roud of our chess champion.

After this victory Bogoliubov challenged Capablanca but the challenge was not accepted. It is not the aim of th is article to analyze thoroughly the chess treasury left by Bogoliubov--eve ry chess player knows his achievements. Even Alekhine was very close to losing his chess crown to this theological studcnt in their first mat:::h. At any case, he did not pl'Ove lh i.!; superiority over Bogoliubov so easily as was done by him at this time in his encountc~ with other players.

In 1926 Hogoliubov refused to come back to the Soviet Union and was divested of Soviet citizenship. Very soon after wards the iron curtain divided us from the West. It was dangerous to correspond with everybody in foreign countries, especially with such 3n "enemy of the people" as Bogoliubov. Therefore, I lost any connection with him.

Only in 1943, after my flight from Kicv, did I come across him i n Cracow and later in the Radom tournament. This time he had an official pnsition in the German army in the capncity of a ehcss instructor. I was told by one of my friends that he was a member of the Na7j Party. But the same frie nd added that Bogoliubov wore his Nllzi badge only in case it would be necessary to buy a railway ticket or somethi ng in a store forbi dden to common mortals.

Truly, it was necessary only to have a short conversation with Bogoliubov in orfIer to know that he was in the party only wilh the ai m of d isguising himself and saving his daughters from mobilization. lIe told me how difficult it was, even with a Nazi membership in his pocket. So far as I know, Bogoliubov never acce:>ted Nazi ideology. was anti-Hitler, and never approved of the cruel practices of this madman .

I remcmber that at the limc of the Radom tournament, he succeeded in getting good radio reception. Aft~r the round, we sat around it the whole evening and listened to the informa tion from neutral stations. I had never suspected before that the military situation of Nazi G<:rmany was so bad. Bogoliubov laughed at my naive surprise and said that the end of Hitler was very near.

Another time he told me about an event one year before when he wore his Nazi badge during a simultaneous display in one of the miIi· lal'y hospiluls. Suddenly 01\0 wounded soldiol' flit ' hi m on the badge ,lIld broke it. After Ihis inci<'tont he never wore the barge d uri ng chess games but delOollsLrated it to his friends.

Aller the Allied vicfory I did not hear about BQ::!oliubov for two ycars. Later on~ I leat'ned he had some diUieuHies ill clearing him· self in a denazification board. Finally he was serccned and allowed chess activity. I was very glad because I k new very well how far Bogoliubov had becn from any political activity, especially on the side of Hitler.

Bogoliubov was very greatly oUended by the refusal of FIDE (th is time dominated by the Soviet delegation) to re~gnize him as a grand· master and to allow him to participate in international tournaments (a decision which was cancelled only in 1951).

In vain I t r ied to ' explain the obvious reasons for this decision -such injustice he could not accept. "Ask everybody in Germanylet anybody prove my adhcrcnce to the Nazis for other than formal reasons. and I will obey, but now it is clear that the only reason is the revenge of the Soviets." This refusal hurt him financially because it took away one of the sources of his earnings.

The last time I mct th'e late Bogo1iubov was at a small inter· national lourn3ment in Kassel in 1947. He finished first. But his health had already deteriorated. It was clear that he was in need of serious treatment. But his financial situ<ltion was very bad; he had to support his famil),-and consequently he workea, playing, p laying and playing. 1 imagine how he longed to be over with his pll/-y every day, every hour. But he always kept his humor and took it :\11 .... ery easy.

Now the sad news about his death ... Looking bnek irlto the life of this former theological student, I consider that maybe he was r ight to choose the life o[ a warrior at lhe chess board. Here. at this board, he had everything a life might giVe, as Henry sometimes said, war , victory. tame and love. To us--chess players-he left the wonderful games, which must be studied, and which will become a p'art of world chess h istory.

Alekhine had already participated in the Hamburg 1910 tournament, as a replacement [or Ctlpablanea ~in fact he had waited until alL most the l4St minute in order to avoid clashing at this early stage of his earCCJ.· with the man whom he considered the next World Champion-but his showing in Hamburg was not particularly ex. citing and certainly much less than what his Russian sponsors had expected from the lad who had, a year berore, conv incingly won first prize in the "Amateurs' TOurnament" at S1. PetersbUrg, thereby qualifying :for the ti tle of international master.

The fi rst prize in the Mixed Masters' Tournament at Stockholm, dUring the Sixth Congress of the Nordiska Sehackforbundet (Northern Chess Association) held from June 25 to July 7, 1912. may be considered as Alekhine's first real international "success," although the competition of first·class mas· lel'S (Spiclm:tnn. Erich- 'Q;t;;-, hi;;. co, possibly Englund, Nyholm and Olland) wns not too s trong and the rest of the Held consis ted of p rae. lie:ally unknown Scamlinavian play. ers (Giersing of Copenhagen, Sjoberh of Ystad, l~rjdlizi us of Goth. enburg-the only one who inflicted a "zero" on Alekhine, :and Lang. borg of Stockholm).

Nineteen year old l\lckhine won the tournament handsomely with 8% out of a possible lO-t.he dis t· <lnce of Jlh points between him and runner·up, Erich Cohn, in such a short tournament will not surprise any of A lekhine's admirers looking over his career in retrospect and can only be considered M foreboding his cheSS future- in fact, it is more surprising that lhe 1;% points he drop ped are a loss to Fridlizius and a draw aga.inst Englund_ neither one distinguished himself otherwise in this tournament, both ended below the 50% mark, with 4 poit}ls e<leh out of a possible 10, tied with Sjoberg in 7·9th pl<lces (out of 11 partiCipants, only Gier· s ing, 3lh, and Nyholm, 2'h, end. ing behind them).

Throughout t h e tournament, Alekhine was praetic<ll1y never in danger, except for the first four rounds when Spielmann (finally ending 5th with 5 points just at the 50% mark) wa.s tempor:arlly half a point ahead of bim.

All ot Alekhinc's games played in the Stockholm T!)Urnament were published in Swedish in the Swedish Tournament Book, which is really the triple number 7-9 of

"1'idskrift for Seh<lek of 1912; three of his games were also pUblished in English by Alekhine h imseU in his " Best Games 19()8.1923" (nos. 9. 10, 11); six were reprinted by Rein· teld in his book "The Unknown Ale khine" (including the Joss

5.\ Round Robin Performilnce Riltin95

A FTER the average strength of a -round·robin tournament has been determined, each player is given a performance rating. Whcn

there are ten or more rounds, the ratings are issued as fo llows:

1. A player who makes a 50% score gets the tournament average as his performance rating.

2. A player who makes a score of more than 50% gets the tourna. ment average plus 10 rating points for each percentage point of his score above 50%.

a. A player who mill .. :" n ""or ., o f Ie"" thnn [iQ'Jl., g.:h lI ,., h''' ' II,,· ment !lverace less JO I'uting points for eaeh percenl.:lil"e point or h is score below 50%. •

APplying these rules to the 1951 Log Cabi n Chess Clu b Championship, performance ratings wcre issucd as shown in the table below and in the chart at the top of the page.

Howard made a 50% score of 5-5, so this player received the tourna· ment average of 2129 points as his perrormance rating. The otbers got more or less tban th.is amount, in proportion to their percentage scores above or below 50%.

As another example, we give below the rating statistics on a more recent contest:

CHICAGO CITY CHAMPIONSHIP, 1952 AVER AGE: 2113 Performan,. R.tlng

"" 12123 plul 2731 230$ 2123 plus 182

~: ~m ::= W! 2123 2121 21]3

"" ~m (~m :::: ;: ! 1911 \212:1 Ins 136) 11$9 2123 lesl ;w.4)

Four or the competitors made 50% of SY.!:·S% and eaeh received the tournament average 01 2123 points (or his performance. The others earned ratings above and below 2123 points, the amounts depend. ing on the scores. For instance, the winner is given a performance rating or 2396, which is 273 points above the tournament average. The added 273 points are exaetly ten times this playcr's 27.3 percentage points above an even score. For all contestants, the performtlncc ratings are based on the percentage scores, the amounts above or below 50% being magnified ten times to climinate decimals.

All the players in the Chicago Cha mpienship had prcvious ratings, as shown in the second column 01 the table. These figurcs are not necessarily the same as the ratings published in the March 501 Issue or CHESS UFE. For instance, Albert Sandrin has .2190 points in the table, but had a rating of 2363 in the published lis t. The dillerence is due to the fact that we take a player's last average ratin!: when computini tournament strength, whereas Lbe published rating Is the player's highest semi·annual average througll the two years before the closing date of the list .. Arter a brilliant performance in the 1951 U. S. Open, raising his average to 2363 lor the !irst half o( the ycar, Sandrin fell off In the second bal! and his average dropped to 2190 points as of December 31st, 1951. 'fhis player's ranking was not am~eted because the rating system gives him the chance to recover his form without losing h is classification as a master. Howevcr, the fieurc 2190 is taken as a measurement of Sandrin's current strcngth when linding the averaie of Lbe Chicago Championship. In the early days of the rating system, we based tournament strength on the last performance ratings o{ the players; now we use the last semi·annua) averages and get better results.
