You mean late 19th century. If he died at the age of 26 in 1900, he played in the late 19th century.
If he won a tournament in Berlin in 1873, when he was just a baby, that's even more impressive.
I would consider going back over that article by GM Julio Becerra again-The John Keats of Chess.
I did read the article. A simple "19th century, not 20th century" would have done. Your sneering sarcasm at such an innocent mistake just shows what kind of miserable human being you must be IRL. I appreciate your amazing input on the subject of one of my chess heroes, but please don't respond to any of my posts in the future. Thank you.
Hello All. Today, I would like to educate you on a forgotten late 19th century player. A chess.com article was written about Rudolf Charousek by GM Julio Becerra in 2010. I thought it time to write another little article about this great player. Rudolf Charousek was a hungarian master who died in 1900 at the age of 26. He was most famous for his win at berlin in 1873, where he finished ahead of 19 others; Many the strongest players of the day - Blackburne, Schlechter, Winawer, Jonowski, Alapin to name a few. He is also one of the few people to have a plus record against emanuel lasker. In fact, Lasker was so impressed with his play that he is reported to have said "I shall have to play a championship match with this man some day". Here are some of his games.
He was a brilliant tactician who loved to play gambits - King's, Scotch, Danish. There is a variation in the QGD that is named after him. Anyway, Thanks for reading guys and gals. R.I.P Rudolf Charousek. Taken from this world far too soon.
