Extrait : Wilhelm Steinitz (14 mai 1836 à Prague, Empire d'Autriche - 12 août 1900 à New York) est un joueur d'échecs autrichien, naturalisé américain en 1888 (à cette occasion il changea officiellement son prénom en William). Il a été le premier champion du monde officiel des échecs de 1886 à 1894, et a, le premier, étudié scientifiquement le jeu d'échecs pour en dégager les règles de stratégie. À ce titre, il est considéré comme le père des échecs modernes. Steinitz en 1866Wilhelm Steinitz a approfondi les thèses de Philidor quant aux pions et leur structure. Il en vint à considérer le jeu d'échecs comme une activité se prêtant à une étude scientifique. Se basant sur ses études, il devint un spécialiste des gains de pions qu'il transformait en victoire en finale. Steinitz était surnommé le Morphy autrichien au début de sa carrière, en raison de ses combinaisons brillantes. Son apparition sur la scène échiquéenne en Europe remonte au début des années 1860. Il battit en 1866 l'Allemand Adolf Anderssen (+8 -6). Il est alors considéré comme le meilleur joueur du monde (après la retraite de Paul Morphy en 1860) même si sa supériorité n'est pas incontestable. Sa victoire à Vienne en 1873 et son succès écrasant contre Joseph Henry Blackburne par 7 victoires à 0 (sans nulle) en 1874 affirment clairement sa suprématie, notamment sur Anderssen.

Juli 1842 in Aschaffenburg) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller und neben Achim von Arnim der Hauptvertreter der sogenannten Heidelberger Romantik. Clemens Brentano war der zweite Sohn des Frankfurter Kaufmanns Peter Anton Brentano (aus der Linie der Brentano di Tremezzo) und dessen Ehefrau, der vom jungen Goethe verehrten Maximiliane von La Roche, und war damit ein Enkel von Sophie von La Roche. Der in vielen Lexika anzutreffende zweite Vorname „Maria" gehört nicht zu seinen Taufnamen. Der Name wird sehr oft Clemens von Brentano geschrieben, doch beruht diese Nobilitierung des Dichters auf einer Verwechslung mit dem Diplomaten Clemens von Brentano di Tremezzo (1886-1965), der mit Clemens Brentano nur entfernt als Ururenkel seines Halbbruders Franz Dominicus Brentano verwandt ist. Zu seinen zahlreichen Geschwistern gehörten Bettina, die den Dichter Achim von Arnim heiratete, Georg, Christian, Sophie, Ludovica („Lulu"), Kunigunde („Gunda"), die mit dem Rechtsgelehrten Friedrich Carl von Savigny verheiratet war, sowie Magdalene („Meline") (verheiratete von Guaita). Brentano benutzte in seinen ersten Veröffentlichungen den N...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=8620 ... Read more

Excerpt: Wilhelm (later William) Steinitz (Prague, May 17, 1836 August 12, 1900) was an Austrian and then American chess player and the first undisputed world chess champion from 1886 to 1894. From the 1870s onwards, commentators have debated whether Steinitz was effectively the champion earlier. Steinitz lost his title to Emanuel Lasker in 1894 and also lost a rematch in 1897. Statistical rating systems give Steinitz a rather low ranking among world champions, mainly because he took several long breaks from competitive play. However, an analysis based on one of these rating systems shows that he was one of the most dominant players in the history of the game. Although Steinitz became "world number one...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=167866 ... Read more
