Charousek competes in a four man tournament with Maróczy, Havasi, and Exner to decide the Hungarian championship. He is then stricken with a catastrophic illness, but recovers well enough to enter the 11th German Chess Congress at Koln 1897. He is also challenged to a match by Dawid Janowski, and invited to Vienna 1898, which will prove to be the strongest chess tournament in history up to that point.

This documentary video was coproduced with my good friends Tim Litten and Annie Kappel

  • Full moon over Transylvania? Sheer coincidence, of course.

  • @thelourebjam Vampires may indeed may have been involved.

  • Beautifully illustrated series. It is clear tonnes of work has been carried out to control the game fragments, and the music, and the various illustrations. Fantastic stuff.

  • @kingscrusher Thanks so much for your encouraging support Tryfon- your own work on chess history- Great Master games analyses, the series on opening evolution, the series on the evolution of style- your work has inspired me for years- in fact, you've been a major inspiration to start making chess history videos in the first place.

  • Yes. I think the ending is better. Those are the Pleiades, right? The Seven Sisters? Pretty star nursery, huh?

  • @timlitten Tim you are a star expert! Yes those are the Pleiades.
