	The chess games of Milan Vidmar
		Milan Vidmar was born on the 22nd of June 1885 in Laibach (Ljubljana), Yugoslavia.
		"Vidmar is less well known (in reference to the participants of the Mannheim tournament) but his style is of greater merit than that of practically all the others.
		Vidmar did some very notable work on transformers, and today, our national electrical engineering institute is named after him (he founded it in 1948).

	A History of Electrical Engineering Study in Slovenia
		At the end of the first world war, Slovenia was the best electrified part of the new state of "Serbs, Croats and Slovenes", so that when the Slovenian University was being established, university-level studies of technology, and in particular electrical engineering, were organised.
		The first advanced courses in technology were organised, beginning on May 19, 1919 with the formal opening lecture "The engineer, the philosopher, and the machine-giant", given by the already famous electrical engineer, Dr. Milan Vidmar.
		Vidmar had a very strong influence on advanced electrical-engineering studies for over 30 years.

		Aron Nimzovitch vs. Milan Vidmar As the game begins, Vidmar pulls out a cigar, lights up, and begins to puff away.
		The high-strung Nimzovitch is irritated by the smoke and complains to the tournament director, who is none other than the Grandmaster Geza Maroczy.
		Vidmar has apparently pulled out another cigar absent-mindedly, but isn't smoking it.

	Chess Notes by Edward Winter
		The entry on Vidmar in the second edition of the Oxford Companion to Chess (page 441) also suggests that he won a formal match against Reshevsky in 1936, but he did not.
		The encounters were merely a series of six quick games, as Vidmar himself noted on page 535 of his memoirs, Pol stoletja ob ahovnici (Ljubljana, 1951): ‘Tam mi je bil pripravil presenečenje: z Reshevskym sem moral igrati 6 brzih partij.
		Vidmar’s view, quoted in C.N. that in 1936 Kashdan was ‘the most talented player in America’ reminds us of a dramatic win by Kashdan the following year and a strange story recounted by I.A. Horowitz on page 8 of his book All About Chess (New York, 1971):

		The failure to arrange a rematch of these two great champions is a pity, but Alekhine's streak in 1930 dispelled any doubts about his legitimacy.
		This move and Vidmar's 47th are just wrongheaded, as White's best chance of holding the ending is by keeping his pawns linked and close to home.
		Nb3+ Ke5, and Vidmar resigned as his kingside collapses.

		Finally, let's get back to the endgame we started with and see how the great Alexander Alekhine, the fourth world champion, won with fl against Milan Vidmar, one of the top players of his era.
		(Vidmar was a full-time engineer yet still managed to be a world-class chessplayer.)

		I like Ljubljana with the Three bridges, the river, all the beautiful Art noveau buildings, all the nice people, the big university, all the youth, it's a very andquot;youngandquot; city.
		Also one the greatest engineer in my profession, power transformers, come from Ljubljana: Dr. Milan Vidmar who was a full professor at the university of Laibach (the former name of Ljubljana as you of course know).
		I know an artist in Ljubljana (Ursa) and I have bought two oil paintings of her and several nice candle holders and glass transparancies (two small glass panes with a decoration in different paper pieces put in between, very nice indeed.

	Chess Notes by Edward Winter
		As regards Portisch and Mariotti, Capece’s book reported that at a congress in Pisa in October 1975 the Snark program of Michael Saliba (Malta) lost its games against the masters in 30 and 41 moves respectively, and was defeated even faster in the return games.
		This is taken from page 42 of I giocatori artificiali by P. Ciancarini (Milan, 1992), which gave the date of the encounter as (October) 1977, not 1975.
		The longest letter we ever received from Harry Golombek was in the summer of 1985, and before reproducing it we summarize the context.

		Alexander Beliavsky kept sole lead after the 8 th of the 9 rounds of the 14th Milan Vidmar Memorial.
		On the last day he will play against his old friend and second Adrian Mikhalchishin and a draw looks the most probable result (especially because Adrian has drawn all his 8 games!).
		The Vidmar is especially of interest because of the participation of 38-year-old Alexandru Crisan.

	The Colle System
		A very strong grandmaster, Milan Vidmar, at Carlsbad in 1929, demonstrated just how to do this—against Colle himself:
		We can see that Vidmar has enough confidence in the open lines available to him that he feels he can sacrifice a pawn in order to have his rooks control the d-file.
		We are going to follow Vidmar’s idea as it also helps deal with the Stonewall Attack.
