	Talk:Bernhard Horwitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It lists Horwitz's date of birth as 1808.
		Horwitz was German in nationality, so I changed the statement that he was a leading English player, as that was misleading, he wasn't English.
		Horwitz was not all that strong, and even if he beaten Staunton, nobody would have called him World Champion.

	Lionel Kieseritzky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His knowledge of the game was significant and he made contributions to chess theory of his own, but his career was somewhat blighted by misfortune and a passion for the unsound.
		He won a match against the German master Bernhard Horwitz in 1846 and enjoyed a number of other magnificent victories across his career, but his nerve was lacking when it came to tournament play.
		In 1851 he was invited to play in the first international chess tournament in London where he was defeated 0.5-2.5 in the first round by the eventual winner Adolf Anderssen.

	Bernhard Horwitz vs Henry Edward Bird (1851)
		Also, the names of the players are reversed, Bird made the first move and should be white here, Horwitz is fl.
		In the 19th century, a convention existed to draw for colours and then to draw for the privilege of the first move.
		Bird played with the fl pieces in ALL matchgames against Horwitz, but he made the first move (was the first player; in German: played the "Anzug" as opposed to the "Nachzug") in half of them.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Endgame study
		However, these studies often include superfluous pieces, added to make the position look more "game-like", but which take no part in the actual solution (something that is never done in the modern study).
		Various names were given to these positions (Damiano, for example, called them "subtelties"); the first book which called them "studies" appears to be Chess Studies, an 1851 publication by Josef Kling and Bernhard Horwitz, which is sometimes also regarded as the starting point for the modern endgame study.
		The form is considered to have been raised to an art in the late 19th century, with A.

	Daniel Harrwitz vs Bernhard Horwitz (1846) "Battle of Witz"
		I think it is when both bishops are pointing at the opponents castle.
		Bernhard Horwitz (1807-1885) was a member of the Berliner Pleiades, also a reasonable good player.
		Until Bb5-d7-e6 he starts a real offensive, aided by Horwitz that gave him the h file and voluntarily weakened his dark squares exchanging his g7 bishop for whites blocked kt.

	ChessBase.com - Chess News - Anniversary with fireworks
		This week, however, I was the happy recipient of such a treat, as a friend showed me a wonderful battle between two very strong players of long ago, Henry Bird (of 1.f4 fame) and Bernhard Horwitz.
		This game is an analyst's delight and a real pleasure to watch, due to the prolonged dramatic tension caused by both players’ resourcefulness in achieving their respective goals.
		Only towards the end does Horwitz overstep the bounds of safety, missing a lethal tactic as he spurns a draw by repetition.

	Independent, The (London): Chess
		An actor in his early life, Staunton was 26 before he turned his attention seriously to chess, but he progressed rapidly and by 1843 was strong enough to face the leading French player Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint-Amant (1800-1872).
		St Amant won a short match in London, 3.5-2.5, but Staunton took the return in the Cafe de la Regence in Paris by the decisive score of 11 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses: and in 1847 he won matches against Bernhard Horwitz (1808- 1885) and Daniel Harrwitz (1823-1884).
		Following his marriage in 1849, though, he sought a more reliable occupation than chess- playing; he wrote considerably on chess and also edited an edition of Shakespeare.

		Tonight's game (click here for more details) is a brouhaha between two old-timers, Henry Bird (after whom Bird's Opening (1.f4) and Bird's Defense in the Ruy Lopez (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nd4) is named) and Bernhard Horwitz.
		At the time this game was played in 1851, Horwitz was definitely the better player, but Bird's attack finally prevailed when Horwitz rejected a draw in the hope of cashing in his material advantage.
		It's not a well-played game, but it is exciting and worth an hour of your time if you're a chess fan!
