Richter: B or K? - 2005/11/07 06:05
In "The Art of Checkmate" by Georges Renaud and Victor Kahn, the following game is given:
X. - Richter,B [A84] "Played before 1900"
1.d4 f5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 b6 5.Bd3 Bb7 6.0-0 Bd6 7.Nc3 Nc6 8.e4 fxe4 9.Nxe4 Be7 10.Ne5 Nxd4 11.Nxf6+ Bxf6 12.Qh5+ g6 13.Bxg6+ hxg6 14.Qxg6+ Ke7 15.Ng4 Qf8 16.Nxf6 Qxf6 17.Bg5 Ne2+ 18.Kh1 Rxh2+ 19.Kxh2 Rh8+ 20.Qh6 Rxh6+ 21.Bxh6 Qxh6# 0-1
I can`t find any information on this player. But the databases have the following game:
Richter,K - Tarrasch,S [A84] Halle, 1892
1.d4 f5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 b6 5.Bd3 Bb7 6.0-0 Bd6 7.Nc3 Nc6 8.e4 fxe4 9.Nxe4 Be7 10.Ne5 Nxd4 11.Nxf6+ Bxf6 12.Qh5+ g6 13.Bxg6+ hxg6 14.Qxg6+ Ke7 15.Ng4 Qf8 16.Nxf6 Qxf6 17.Bg5 Ne2+ 18.Kh1 Rxh2+ 19.Kxh2 Rh8+ 20.Bh6 Qh4# 0-1
This is Kurt Richter, but how does another Richter find himself on the other side of the board in a game which is, up until black`s 19th move, identical?
Is this just shoddy work by Renaud or Kahn?
