Some of the most regrettable chess stories are those of great players leaving the game at the peak of their powers. First, there was Paul Morphy, then, more than a century later, Robert Fischer. Very few probably know or remember that shortly after Morphy left, another brilliant player took his talents elsewhere. He was not of Morphy’s stature, certainly, but all the same, it was a pity that the world saw no more of his chess. That man was Ignatz von Kolisch.
Loyd goes on:
Who would believe it, he had scarcely spoken when another bullet flew across the room, and the pawn at h2 shared the fate of the knight. Grothusen turned pale. You have our good friends the Turks with you, said the king unconcerned, it can scarcely be expected that I should contend against such odds; but let me see if I can dispense with that unlucky pawn. I have it! he shouted with a tremendous laugh, I have great pleasure in informing you that there is undoubtedly a mate in 5.
