| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Curt von
Bardeleben (Berlin, 4 March 1861 - Berlin, 31 January 1924) was a Count
and a German chess master who committed suicide by jumping out of a
window in 1924. His life and death were the basis for that of the main
character in the novel The Defense by Vladimir Nabokov, which was made
into the movie The Luzhin Defence. He edited the magazine Deutsche
Schachzeitung from 1887 through 1891. He tied for first place with
Riemann at Leipzig 1888, tied for first place with Walbrodt at Kiel
1893, was first at Berlin (SV Centrum) 1897, and tied for first place
with Schlechter and Swiderski at Coburg 1904. He is perhaps best known
for the game he lost to the former world champion Wilhelm Steinitz at
Hastings 1895, especially because he just left the tournament room
instead of resigning. |
