His geniality helped him to get to the top class of Chess-players. He was the only one who could make an unshakeable Chess-master such as Cappablanca uncertain. He threatened him by his simultaneous play in Madrid with a double check. The player was so shocked that he announced a move to G12. Cappablanca`s move is widely misinterpreted in chess literature (a part of the conspiracy - of course) as the first chess "out". Newly discovered diaries of Cappablanca cast light on his extraordinary move: I knew my game with Jara Cimrman in Madrid was lost after his double check. Consequently, I wanted to use our to-be-much-analysed game to expose the h-9 conspiracy. I believed chess experts, players and fans would wonder why I moved my piece to the 12th row and ask:"is there a 12th row?" They would start from square one, i.e. row 9 here and find the truth about h-9 square.

All the chess lovers know the former Czech GM Jára Cimrman. Even a minor planet (called an asteroid by some), two scorpions (Heterometrus Cimrmani - the fourth one on the page, Parabuthus Cimrmani - again the fourth one), and a parasite (Isospora Jaracimrmani) were named after him.
