Dear Sirs,
I congratulate
you for such an interesting page which for some past days has
keep me busy with its variety of data related to this great
board game.
However, I like
to send you a correction. In the letter 32 of year 2002, a
viewer asked you for the author's of the following quote:
“The beauty of a move lies not in its' appearance
but in the thought behind it”
and you
answered Tarrasch was the author. It is incorrect because the
real author of this quote was Nimzovich.
There must have
been a mix up since the context is the following:
It happened when
Nimzovich introduced to the Chess theory his well known
"Nimzoindian Defense" and Tarrasch (a utter Nimzovich enemy
since he was a follower of the clasic theory while Nimzovich
supported the hypermodern theory) once said such defense was
"horrible" and that's when the great Nimzovich replied back with
the quote in question while adding that he considered the
"Tarrasch Defense" a very bad one.
I hope that you
keep up the good work on Chess topics from a thankful cybernaut.
Giancarlo Miguel Gonzales Gonzales.
