From the same interview with Eliezer Pe'er as the previous post:
'Victor Winz and other Tel Aviv player would then [in the 1930s and 40s - A.P.] play a lot of speed chess in the Vienna Cafe, in the Nahalat Binyamin neighborhood in Tel Aviv. They had no chess clocks, so they would pay an onlooker a few pennies to hold a walking stick and bang it on the floor every ten seconds, to play ten-second chess.'
Pardon, j'écris en français car je ne peux que lire l'anglais. Quelqu'un pourrait me donner des renseignements sur Victor Winz, que j'ai bien connu à Nice où il jouait encore aux échecs et où il est mort?
ReplyDeleteEn espanol: alguien podria darme noticias o informacion sobre Victor Winz que conoci en Niza donde vivia y jugaba al ajedrez?
Merci/gracias.

Pueden contestarme en inglés (que si leo)
I am not sure when Winz died -- but I can check it out. If you need more information about him (or anything chess-related) you can e-mail me to avital.pilpel@gmail.com .
ReplyDeleteI did some research on Leo Winz, Victor's Father (who was a publisher in Berlin). As far as I know, Victor disappeared 1941 on his way to South America.
