biography

Family, education and work

Field postcard Antzes to Carl Carls dated June 3, 1917

Antze, whose nickname was Oskar, was the son of a chess-playing and homeopathic doctor. He had a younger brother, who was also a doctor and chess player, and two sisters, one of whom also became a doctor and also played chess.

In the 1880s the Antzes family lived in Berlin, where he was a student at the Leibniz Gymnasium . After the family moved to Stenum (Ganderkesee) and then to Bremen around 1889 , where his father acquired citizenship in 1890 , Antze attended the old grammar school from 1889 to 1897 . There the 15-year-old was one of the founders of the free school association Germania in 1893 , the purpose of which was to “cultivate true noble friendship”; in this secret connection he gave himself the beer name Caligula . His classmates included the future inventor and aviation pioneer Wilhelm Focke and his fellow high school graduates the future poet and architect Rudolf Alexander Schröder .

After graduating from high school, he studied medicine from 1897 to 1903. From the winter semester of 1897 to the summer semester of 1898, he first attended the Philipps University in Marburg , where he joined the Germania fraternity on November 20, 1897 , of which he remained a member until the end of his life. He then studied in the summer semester of 1898 at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena , where he also did his military service as a one-year volunteer with the local Royal Infantry Battalion . From the winter semester 1898/99 to the winter semester 1899/00 he studied again in Marburg before completing his studies from the summer semester 1900 to the winter semester 1901/02 at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . He was already a registered medical doctor on 10 February 1903 in Kiel with a thesis on lung cancer Dr. med. PhD . Only a few months later, on July 5, 1903, he passed the dispensing exam for homeopathic doctors. Around 1904 he joined his father's practice in Löningstrasse, which he moved in 1919 to the mezzanine floor of his house at Kohlhökerstrasse 52 , which he had acquired on May 5, 1919. He carried on the practice alone when his father retired in 1926 after the death of his wife and moved to live with his daughter in Rapallo, where he occasionally played chess with Ezra Pound .

During the First World War, Antze belonged to the Field Artillery Regiment No. 263 and the 6th Baden Infantry Regiment "Kaiser Friedrich III." No. 114 and worked from 1916 to 1918 as a battalion and assistant doctor of the Landwehr in Galicia and France. As such, he received various military honors: the Iron Cross II and I Class , the Bremen Hanseatic Cross , the Front Fighter Badge and - apparently because of a serious wound - the Wound Badge in black .

After the defeat of the Bremen Soviet Republic in 1919, he was a reserve member of the Bremen City Armed Forces from April 30, 1919 until its dissolution on February 28, 1921 ; although he apparently was never used, he was the doctor of the guard I the on February 28, 1921 Golden City military nobility . As a doctor, he was also authorized to pass through all of the city armed forces as well as the "RST" ( government protection force ) at any time, even in the event of an alarm.

During the Second World War he worked as an air raid doctor from September 1, 1939 to May 1945 and, as the air raid police force leader, headed rescue center 14 in the north air raid protection section; he was responsible for the care of injured civilians. For this activity, he was awarded the Air Defense Medal II. Class in 1944 and the War Merit Cross with Swords, Second Class , on October 16, 1944 .

From 1934 to 1937 Antze was a sponsoring member of the General SS with 2 Reichsmarks a month ; for this he was classified in the group of followers as part of the denazification and received a notice of atonement in the amount of 2000 RM.

In January 1958 he was made an honorary member of the Bremer Automobil-Club eV ; the necessary criteria for this were membership of at least 25 years as well as being over 75 years of age.

"[B] egnadet in his job" he was considered an extremely popular doctor and "forgot" even once, especially with poor fellow citizens and friends, to bill. In addition to conventional medicine , he also dealt with homeopathy . He was a member of the German Central Association of Homeopathic Doctors JP and also gave lectures on homeotherapy. He is considered the last doctor in Bremen who was still allowed to manufacture his homeopathic remedies himself. Until a few weeks before his death at the old age of 83, he continued his profession, making him one of the oldest doctors still practicing in Bremen.

Antze had married in Bonn in 1906; he had two daughters and two sons, one of whom died a day after birth, while the other died at the age of 31 in World War II . He lived and practiced at Kohlhökerstraße 52 in Bremen until his death, where he died on Easter Monday 1962 at the age of 84. He is buried - among others with his wife and a daughter - in a family grave in the Osterholz cemetery in Bremen.

Oskar Antze is the grandfather of the voice actor Joscha Fischer-Antze and the great-uncle of the Italian director and literary critic it: Massimo Bacigalupo .

Chess player

Antze first attracted attention as a youngster: Together with his father, the 14-year-old took first place in the side tournament of the 4th Congress of the Northwest German Chess Federation (NWDS) in Oldenburg in 1893 . A year later, he beat Jacques Mieses , who was playing blind simulta - neously in Bremen, in just 23 moves , and in July of the same year he shared 1st place in Group 2 of the main tournament at the 5th Congress of the NWDS. During these chess days he also won another prize in the free tournament and an honorary prize for the fastest winning game (in 55 minutes). A year later he was third in the championship tournament at the 6th NWDS Congress in Wilhelmshaven. He is also said to have played tournaments in England as a 19-year-old. On the occasion of his medical studies in Kiel, “Can.med. Antze ”joined Kiel SG in the summer of 1900 and became a student of the club's founder, Johannes Metger . He also took part in various tournaments in his place of study. In the same year he shared first place with Hugo Süchting in a four-man tournament; he beat Metger, but lost the playoff for 1st place against Süchting. Incidentally, the oldest known Antzes games to date come from this tournament. In the summer of 1900 he also played a match against Metger; of the three traditional games he drew only one, while he lost the other two. Also in Kiel in July 1901 at the 5th Congress of the Niederelbischer Chessbund (NESB) in the 1st group of the main tournament, he won 1st place and thus the prize money of 30 marks; he also won the beauty award with his game against Hüttmann. In May 1904 he played two blind games against Adolf Albin , who also acted blind , which he won both. On the occasion of its 75th anniversary, the Hamburg SK hosted the 9th Congress of the Lower Elbe Chess Federation in 1905 ; Antze played for the first time in the championship tournament, which he finished third behind Rudolf Spielmann and Julius Dimer. None other than the world champion Emanuel Lasker gave a simul in Bremen on October 17, 1908 at the invitation of the Bremen Chess Society (+18 = 3 −3). Among his 24 opponents were Carl Carls and Carl Hartlaub , who achieved a spectacular short win, and Antze, who was able to take a draw from the world champion. When Paul Saladin Leonhardt gave a simultaneous on 18 boards in Bremen on November 12, 1910, he gave up 5.5 points, including a defeat against Antze. In June 1911, Frank Marshall played 22 games at the same time in the Bremen Chess Society , unusually allowing all of his opponents to play; Antze won his game in just 21 moves. At the 15th Federal Festival of the NESB in 1912 in Bergedorf, he shared the main tournament together with Bier jr. 1st place. When Siegbert Tarrasch played a simul against 21 participants in Bremen in May 1913 , he made eight draws - one of them against Antze.

Since Rear Admiral Heinz von Hennig had to cancel his participation in the championship tournament of the 18th Federal Festival of the NESB in Lübeck in September 1919, Antze was invited by telegram. Unfortunately, his acceptance "at this time of the telegraph misery" came too late, so that Rodatz was admitted in his place. In return he was able to participate again in the next national festival of the NESB, the 19th, which took place in July 1920 in Hamburg; in the championship A he finished second behind Heinrich Wagner .

In 1922 he played at the championship tournament in Bad Oeynhausen at the 22nd DSB Congress, which was won by the German chess master Ehrhardt Post ; Antze finished third, only half a point behind Carl Carls. He was the only one to lose only one game, against Leonhardt, who was also able to beat the winner Post and the second Carls. Instead of the honorary prizes originally intended for the championship tournament, but which could no longer be obtained due to inflation , alternative prizes were awarded; Antze received a bottle of champagne.

In 1923 Antze joined the German Chess Federation as a sponsor .

Behind Alfred Brinckmann and Carls he was again third in a rapid chess tournament, which was held at the 24th Federal Festival of the NESB in July 1925 in Lüneburg, whose chess club celebrated its 50th anniversary.

The tournament played in Hanover in 1926 plays a special role in Antze's chess career and was held by the Hannoversche SK as part of the Second Association Assembly of the Lower Saxony Chess Association and on the occasion of its own 50th anniversary: ​​it remained the only international tournament he has ever played. In the tournament, which was strong with Aaron Nimzowitsch , who was first, and Akiba Rubinstein , he finished 6th.

On April 18, 1926, Antze gave a simultaneous game against 22 players in Groningen, the Netherlands, with the result: +17, = 5. Against the Russian-German chess grandmaster Efim Bogoljubow , who had his highest historical rating at that time , he played a short match over two games in Bremen in 1927, which he kept in a draw. Also in Bremen in 1929 he took part in an extraordinary event: On June 30th, the German Chess Federation organized a "large chess match in the stadium", during which numerous tournaments of various formats were held. Among other things, the day ended with a triple simultaneous event: Carl Ahues , Alfred Brinckmann and Antze competed in a simultaneous competition with 18 participants each. Ahues won all of his games, while Brinckmann scored 16: 2 and Antze 15: 3 (with two losing games).

In 1929 he took part in the national championship tournament of the 26th DSB Congress in Duisburg, which was won by the German chess master Carl Ahues. He shared 8th place with Mieses, and did particularly well against those placed before him: he drew against Ahues as well as against third Sämisch, while he beat Kurt Richter and Karl Helling , both of whom were fourth. As part of the Easter congress of the Weser-Ems chess association, which was held from April 14th to 17th in Bremen, there was also a championship tournament with four players. Ahues and Carls shared 1st place, while Antze was last behind Wagner with only half a point. At the invitation of Delmenhorster SK , Antze gave a simultaneous on 23 boards on May 27, 1933; in three and a half hours he won 18 games, drew 2 and lost 3. In the same year he gave another simul in Oldenburg, on October 28th against 30 chess friends of the Oldenburg Chess Club ; this time he won 23 games, drew 6 and lost only one.

At the tournament for the German championship at the 2nd Congress of the Greater German Chess Federation in Aachen in 1934, at which his friend Carl became the master of Germany , Antze took 8th place; he lost only two games in the 17 rounds.

After 1945, the now 67-year-old hardly appeared in chess. In 1946 he was still playing in the double-round four-stage tournament for the BSG club championship; in this with Carl Carls, Hermann Heemsoth and Dr. Pigeon heavily occupied tournament he was third with 2.5 points. He was the only one to have a positive score against the winner Heemsoth, whom he beat 1.5: 0.5, and also left Carls behind. The last surviving game from him is dated November 20, 1946.

After his death in April 1962, the President of the German Chess Federation, Emil Dähne, wrote : "The deceased had been a loyal member of the Federation for almost seventy years, he was one of the great personalities of the Federation and a chess master by grace. With him is the last of the famous Bremer Dreigestirns Antze - Carls - Hilse passed away. "

German champions

The participants in the main German national tournament in Leipzig 1913; Oskar Antze second row from the top, third from the left, in the middle in front of the left, closed door wing - On the back of this postcard addressed to his chess friend Carl Carls it says: “LC Yes, nobody could stand that! The youngest chess master sends you kindly. Greetings. 4 / X 13 Your Antze "

He celebrated his greatest success in Leipzig in 1913: from September 27th to October 8th, the Augustea chess society organized a major German national tournament with the support of the Albertea , Kismet and Leipzig-West clubs . Only 14 main tournament players residing in Germany were admitted, all of whom had to be members of the German Chess Federation. The playing conditions included that three games were played in two days and that each participant had to pay 15 15 stakes and 10 ℳ forfeit money before the start of the tournament. The winner should - with the approval of the German Chess Federation - be awarded the title of master. In preparation for this tournament, Antze played a duel with Carl Hartlaub that was based on 6 winning games on June 25; up to the start of the tournament they played 4 games, all of which Antze won.

While he only opened with his favorite move 1. e4 in these preparatory games with White, he drew 1. c4 in four of White's 5 games in Leipzig - an opening that he had rarely seen before. With the Bremen game he got 3 points (+3 = 0 −1), which formed the cornerstone of his success. In the field of 12 participants, he scored 8.5 out of 11 possible points (+8 = 1 −2). The tournament was only decided in the final round: his toughest competitor for the win, Heinz von Hennig , who had beaten him in their direct encounter and would have been first in the event of a tie, exceeded the time in his last game in a better position. Thus Antze achieved the sole first place, whereupon he was awarded the title of German Master. After Carls, who got the title in Cologne in 1911, he was the second German champion of the Bremen chess society . When Wilhelm Hilse later also received the title, the three were referred to as the Bremen triumvirate .

Country and national team fights

International battles

Antze occasionally appeared in international battles for Germany. B. 1926 in Dresden: On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Dresden Chess Club , the 14th Congress of the Saxon Chess Federation was held there at Easter 1926 . During this congress the first country competition between Germany and Austria took place. Antze played behind Heinrich Wagner and Carl Carls on the 3rd board and held both games of the double-round competition against the Austrian king a draw.

For the 1936 Chess Olympiad in Munich, Antze was appointed to the narrow group of contenders for one of the team places still to be allocated. In addition, he took part in an Olympic training, which took place under the direction of the Reich trainer Willi Schlage from May 2nd to 23rd in Bad Saarow, southeast of Berlin. The aim of this training, organized by the Greater German Chess Federation, included "to deepen the chess knowledge and skills of the participants in serious teamwork and thus to achieve the highest level of performance". Ex-world champion Alekhine also took part there from May 9th to 15th .

In addition to the chess exercises, which also included training games, the program also included sporting activities: “The relay race on the 400m long cinder track at the sports field [...], [which] was run by such 'cracks' as Dr. Alekhine, Post, v. Hennig, Dr. Antze, Sämisch, Ahues and Schlage were contested. ”At the time of this relay race, Antze was 58 years old.

The Greater German Chess Federation has not made the team line-up easy for itself; 21 players were invited to practice. “Out of the large number of candidates, only 10 can be appointed. The selection was a difficult and difficult task. Many wishes and hopes had to remain unfulfilled. ”When Antze reported on his experiences in Bad Saarow to the Neustädter Chessfreunde on June 23 , he dampened the optimism against him in a sober self-assessment; in fact, he was ultimately not called up to the Olympic team.

The now almost 60-year-old came to another assignment in the German team in 1938: as part of the exhibition Bremen - Keys to the World , a double-round comparison between Greater Germany and Scandinavia can take place in June . Antze played u. a. alongside Georg Kieninger , Kurt Richter and Ludwig Rellstab against a 19-strong selection from Scandinavia. In the unexpectedly high 29: 9 win (+22 = 14 −2) he parted ways in his two games against the Danish champion Christian Poulsen with a win 1: 1 each, whereby it was noted that Antze was not only still his job on Saturday morning but also had his hands full with the competition organization.

In July 1939 he was also a participant in a training session in Bremen to prepare for the Chess Olympiad in Buenos Aires. As part of this, he played training games against Erich Eliskases , Heinrich Reinhardt and Carls as part of a tournament ; the tournament was won by Eliskases.

National team fights

In addition to these team fights for Germany, Antze has also been appointed to other national teams. So he played on February 26, 1928 in Hamburg at the Robinow Cup on the 4th board of the Niederelbier team. The opponent was Denmark, whose team consisted exclusively of players from Copenhagen. The Danes won the fight with 6.5: 5.5, Antze also lost his game against Karl Ruben . When these teams met again on October 5, 1930 in Copenhagen, Antze was again part of the Lower Elbe team; this time he won his game on the 4th board against Arne Desler .

In the first round of the German team championship, in which 16 gau teams competed against each other in the cup system, the encounter between Weser-Ems and Westphalia ended on October 20, 1935 with a big surprise: Antze won 6-2 on the second board with a win against the Westphalian master Gustav Rogmann.

City comparison battles

In the city competition Amsterdam-Bremen, which took place on October 9, 1926 and in order to shorten the railway lines in Groningen, Antze played and won on board 3 against the Dutch master Abraham Speijer .

On the occasion of the Heroes' Remembrance Day , on which Hitler reintroduced compulsory military service, there was a comparison between Bremen and Hamburg on 50 boards on March 17, 1935. Antze had to deal with Heinrich Reinhardt , "currently second in the official German rankings", whom he was able to bring down in the final.

Bremen Chess Society from 1877 (BSG)

As "a very special chess hope", the 15-year-old joined the Bremen Chess Society in 1894, of which his father Paul had been a member since 1891 and to which his brother Richard also belonged; At that time, Oskar was by far the youngest of the 33 members.

Antze played successfully in numerous BSG team fights; so in 1905 in Hanover on board 1 he beat his friend Carls, who at that time was still playing for the Hanoverian SK . He also drew in 1910 in Altona in a comparison match with the Kiel Chess Society on the 2nd board his black game against Hugo Süchting, who carried the title of German Master. In the rematch fight in April 1912 he met Süchting again on the third board, and the game ended again in a draw. A special team game was the match between the BSG and the United Amsterdam Chess Cooperative (VSA) on 8 boards, which was carried out in Groningen in October 1926 ; Antze played behind Carls and Hilse on the third board and won his game against Speyer.

In addition to the team fights, Antze also excelled in the club's individual tournaments. So he won the club championship several times. Despite the war, to which many BSG players were drafted, the club championship in 1914/1915, which was held as a winter tournament, found considerable participation; Group 1 was heavily occupied with Antze, Carls, Hartlaub and Brinkmann. In the double-round tournament Antze won easily with 5.5 out of 6 ahead of Carls (4.5). In 1920/21, too, the club championship was organized in groups and in two stages; with 8 out of 10 Antze was again first in front of the later German champions Wilhelm Hilse and Carls. In 1925/26 he shared 1st place with Hilse before Carls. He won the two-round tournament in 1926/27 almost superior: with 13.5 out of 15 he distanced Carls, whom he defeated and was second, by one and a half points; on Hilse, against whom he also won, it was even 3 points. He also won numerous other club tournaments; so he occupied z. B. 1905 the 1st place shared with Hilse in a double-round group tournament of the top players of the club.

Occasionally, Antze excelled internally as a simultaneous player; on March 13, 1901, he played 10 games in the Bremen Chess Society, of which he won 7, drew 2 and lost only one in just one and a half hours. While many of his club colleagues took part in the tournaments of the 21st DSB Congress in Hamburg in 1921, Antze underlined his skill at another simultaneous in Bremen, which he completed against 20 club members; he won 18 and drew one, while the last could not be brought to an end due to the advanced time with an even position. Also on November 10, 1928, he faced his club colleagues in a series game ; of the 24 games he made 15 victorious, 7 ended in a draw, while he lost only 2.

In contrast to his club colleague Hartlaub, who also occupied himself with chess compositions for over 4 decades , there seems to be only one of Antze's books found in his estate. Every now and then he took part in an internal solution tournament; at the 29th Foundation Festival in 1906, he was the quickest to find the key move including variants of one of the two tasks that came from Ernst Varain .

Like his father, he took on various board positions and association tasks in the course of his membership, which lasted until his death; in 1896 the 17-year-old was entrusted with the inventory management. In 1914 he was a member of a commission for the processing of the association's statutes, and in 1921 he was also jointly responsible for a new version of the same. He also acted as a tournament director from time to time: in 1921 he held the BSG's first blitz tournament . On the occasion of the 21st DSB Congress in Hamburg in 1921 and the associated reorientation of the same, Antze then gave a lecture on the history, the purpose and the likely new effects of the Federation to orient the members of the association. From 1924 to 1933 he was the second chairman, and in 1934 and 1940 to 1942 he took over the management of the association. He was also one of the chess masters who gave lectures on chess topics carried out by the BSG; so he spoke z. B. on November 25, 1925 about finals. Among numerous other internal tasks he drew z. B. also responsible for the organization of the foundation festival on March 13, 1926.

Antze's name is also closely linked to the 26th Federal Festival of the NESB. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the BSG took on the implementation of this congress, which took place in Bremen in April 1927. Antze was not only one of the co-organizers of the event, which was carried out “in a brilliant way”; He also initiated the subsequent competitions with a short match against Bogoljubow, which was scheduled for two serious games and ended with a 1: 1 win. Finally, Ms. (sic) Dr. Oskar Antze the award ceremonies for the championship, A main and guest tournament.

In 1934 he was made an honorary member of the BSG as part of a team tournament in Vegesack, at the same time as Carls and for the same reason: "for the special achievements in the tournament for the championship of Germany" in Aachen .

Antze has kept his chess games in 5 notebooks and 2 folders, which have been in Lothar Schmid's chess collection since December 1998 . The chronicler of the Bremen chess society and Bremen chess life, the international correspondence chess master Hanno Keller, made a copy of these games, which is in the possession of the BSG.

In honor of its former member, the BSG dedicated the club championship of 2013/14 to Oskar Antze.

Competitions with Carls, Hilse and Hartlaub

In the absence of suitable opponents and to increase his own playing strength, Antze began to try out two and three fights, especially with Carls, but also with Hilse and Hartlaub.

Fights with Carls

As early as 1898, he met the then 18-year-old Carl Carls from Varel for the first time in the championship tournament of the 7th NWDS Congress, in which he came second behind Hartlaub. The two became close friends and fought numerous duels with each other over the course of the next few decades, in which Carls only just got the upper hand.

The first duel between the two began on May 22, 1907 and ended just under four months later on November 9; it was designed to win five games, with draws not counting. At this premiere Antze had the upper hand with 5: 3; six games ended in a draw. In contrast to this debut, most of the upcoming duels were designed to win 8 games, with a 7-7 meaning a tie of the competition. From June 8, 1910 to May 4, 1912, the first 8-win duel took place. After Antze was already in the lead 7: 3 after the 11th game, Carls succeeded in the 20th game to make it 7: 7; 6 games ended in a draw. A short match over 4 games, which the two played from July to October 1912, also ended in a tie. On the other hand, Antze lost another 8-game match against Carls, which lasted from August 22, 1913 to February 15, 1914, clearly with 2: 8 (with 4 draws). In contrast, he won 8: 6 with 5 draws their next match, which started on February 18, 1914 and ended on March 25, 1916. He was now 4-6 behind, but won three games in a row in February 1916 before the decisive eighth victory came in March. Their duels continued long after the end of the war; it began on June 4, 1919, lasted until July 10, 1920 and once again ended in a tie with 7: 7 (= 5). Again 7: 7 was the result of their next competition, which lasted four and a half years; among the games from December 12, 1922 to June 22, 1927 there were 7 draws. On the other hand, Carls won the next one, which ended on August 21, 1931, 8: 4 in 11 draw games. And also the following match, which ran from April 22, 1933 to October 7, 1936, he won 8: 3 in just one draw. The last match between the two chess friends finally ended on October 12, 1938. It had started on November 28, 1936, and after Carls had meanwhile had a 3-point lead, Antze won three games in a row and equalized for another 7: 7 final score.

In total, Antze won 2 of these competitions, 5 ended in a draw and Carls won 3 with a total score of 52:63 without a draw. If you add your matches in the context of your three-way fights with Hilse (see below), the result from Antze's point of view is: +3 = 6 −3 with a score of 63:69 without a draw.

These duels received national attention through recurring reports in various chess organs; especially the German chess newspaper published numerous games of these competitions.

The two friends also competed in other formats: On December 11, 1929, they fought a simultaneous duel in the BSG club room. Both played against the same 18 opponents who each led two boards. "Initially, Dr. Antze 'outpaced' a few times by the faster-playing master Carls, but the former had set up the games for sacrificial play and a quick endgame and had already completed his entire task after 2 1/2 hours (...) ”. While Antze only lost 2 and made 3 draws, Carls lost 5 games in a draw. Since Carls needed 40 minutes longer and one point was calculated for every quarter of an hour, the result was 1.5 errors (Antze) to 5.5 errors (Carls). Also on October 15, 1932, they played a simultaneous duel in Bremen, in which everyone played against 15 stronger opponents at the same time; While Antze had 11 points in four and a half hours (+9 = 4 −2), the Carls only got 9 points (+6 = 6 −3) in five and a half hours. The report on this event states: “The initiated knew from earlier simultaneous games, with which incredibly fluent dexterity Dr. Antze used to do a simultaneous game. His fabulous quick look lets him immediately grasp the situation and find the right countermeasure. Dr. Antze is currently one of the best German masters playing simultaneously. ”In the next duel of this kind, Antze was ahead of the game: on the Sunday of the Dead (November 26th) 1933 they fought a simultaneous contest against 25 opponents each in the Neustädter Schachfreunde restaurant ; Antze only lost once and scored 19.5 points in just under 4 hours. The two fought a similar competition in March 1934, against the Delmenhorster Chess Club ; this time they stayed exactly tied with 18 wins and one draw each, but Carls completed his games faster.

They carried out a special kind of simultaneous duel on October 20, 1936: under handicap conditions - 32 moves had to be completed in 2 hours - each played against 6 strong opponents from the Neustadt chess friends ; Carls only gave a draw, while Antze lost a game as well as a draw. On the Sunday of the Dead in 1937, they competed again in a simultaneous duel against the Neustadt chess friends , the result of which unfortunately does not seem to have been recorded.

Antze and Carls not only played against each other, but occasionally also with each other; So together they found the solution for a four-trainer Brelings, which had to be solved on the occasion of the foundation festival of the BSG on March 5, 1910, and received the award for it. On the occasion of the foundation festival of the BSG on April 18, 1914, they also gave a joint simultaneous performance against 11 opponents, in which they won 8 games and lost three.

Fights with Hartlaub

Antze showed himself to be superior in his duels with Hartlaub. From January 9, 1909 to June 28, 1911, they played a match that was also based on eight winning games, which Antze won 8-2 in 4 draws. Furthermore, from June 25, 1913, they competed in a match over 6 winning games, which Antze also served to prepare for the German national main tournament in Leipzig. This duel ended on January 18, 1914 with the eighth game and resulted (with only one draw) in a clear 6-1 victory for Antze.

Three fights with Carls and Hilse

The first three-way battle began in 1907 with a match tournament by Antze, Carls and Hilse, each playing three games against each other. Antze beat Carls 2-1, but lost 3-0 to Hilse, while the Carls-Hilse result is not known.

Inspired by the world championship match between Lasker and Tarrasch, Antze, Carls and Hilse agreed on September 9, 1908, on a three-way battle for the championship of Bremen, which would last for the next months and even years. Carls recorded the playing conditions in his game book: “Everyone plays a match with everyone. The winner of the match is the winner of the first 8 games. Draws don't count. At 7: 7 the match is drawn. Thinking time: 16 moves an hour. ”More than a year and a half later, on June 1, 1910, the last game between Antze and Carls ended; The latter won their duel 8: 3 with 3 draws. The Antze-Hilse match was not continued in January 1914 when the score was 1: 4 with 6 draws for unknown reasons, while Hilse won 8: 6 (= 1) against Carls. The three fought another three-way battle from February to November 1921, each of which had to switch 6 games. All three duels ended in a 3: 3 draw; Antze won and lost three games each against Carls, while in the encounter Antze-Hilse everyone could win once, the remaining games all ended in a draw. In 1922 the three top players of the club again competed against each other with 6 games each; Against Carls, Antze drew again (1/2, 0, 1, 1, 1/2, 0), while his match against Hilse at a score of 1.5: 0.5 for Antze was not continued.

Master of Bremen

Partial inscription of the Senate Medal of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. The inscription reads: "Meister von Bremen" chess tournament, 1st prize 1935

Antze won the championship of Bremen three times , namely in 1935, 1936 and 1938. In his first victory in 1935 he was tied with Carls; only in the playoff, which he won 1.5: 0.5, he won the title against the current champions of Germany . The following year he managed to defend his title without losing a game and with a half point lead over Carls. In his third tournament victory in 1938, the now 59-year-old managed the feat of winning all 9 games, which outclassed his rivals Kettenburg (6.5), Carls (5.5) and Hermann Heemsoth (5). The silver medal of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen was presented as the winning prize.

Honors

On September 8, 1935, the chess clubs of the Hanseatic city organized a "Bremen Chess Day". As part of this event, Antze received two honors: On the one hand, members of SV Bremen-Ost premiered a chess anthem composed by the Oberneuland organist Hans Knaudt. In addition, they not only presented the Bremen city master with the score, but also made him an honorary member of the association.

In honor of the Bremen master duo Carls and Antze, a team tournament for the Carls Antze Cup began on August 27, 1939 ; Four teams ( SK Delmenhorst , SK Oldenburg , Neustädter Schachfreunde and Schachgruppe Weser AG ) played against each other on 15 boards each.

In April 1947 he was made an honorary member of the chess association at the Easter congress of the Weser-Ems chess association in Nordenham in recognition of his great services to chess.

Play style

As a student of Metger, who in turn was a supporter of Anderssen , Antze's game was shaped by combinatorial skills . But in contrast to numerous supporters of the romantic ideal of chess - for example his club colleague Hartlaub - he did not neglect the necessary solid positional principles. While he was in the period before the First World War in the opening e4 e2 primarily with the first open positions sought, occurred in his hands then closed playgrounds in the foreground, which usually start with 1. d4. One of the openings he preferred in the post-war period, however, was also the Bremen game, which was largely influenced by his chess friend Carls . During this, however, usually small ADVANTAGES aspired to them and often patiently until the final play a decisive expand ANTZE examined the decision often by tactics in the middlegame bring. With Black, on the other hand, Antze preferred 1.… e5 on 1. e4 throughout his life, while he varied more against other beginnings of the game. There are predominantly Indian structures with fianchetted king bishop, such as B. in the Grünfeld-Indian defense often used by him , while in the 1930s he often resorted to the Nimzowitsch-Indian defense .

The following game, which comes from one of the three-way fights with Carls and Hilse, is one of his most beautiful and illustrates his ability to develop a combinatorial vortex from a positionally solid structure:

Carls - Antze, Bremen, September 5, 1921 (Carls-Antze-Hilse three-way battle, 5th game)

In the German Schachbl Blätter it was said: “A brilliant achievement that deserves a beauty prize”. This game was already published several times at that time, including in Ludwig Bachmann 's 1921 chess yearbook . Jacques Mieses also cites the “splendid and ingenious combination of sacrifices” in a 1922 publication. And finally it was also republished in 1962 in the Deutsche Schachzeitung as well as in the Weserkurier to supplement their respective news of Antze's death .

"A typical Antze game: correct in structure, resourceful in middlegame, elegant in assault."

On the occasion of the competition for the Robinow Cup on October 5, 1930 in Copenhagen, Alfred Brinckmann characterized Antze's style of play as follows: “(...) He is definitely a representative of the subtle, elegant player whose games are characterized by a pleasing, curved line and who prefer fights with the dainty rococo sword as (...) with heavy pallas ". Such characterizations of a style of play can also be viewed critically; Hübner in particular points out that Brinckmann does not start out from the games in his descriptions: “He created an image of the essence of man; then he ascribes a style of play to him that, in his opinion, fits this being ”.

skill level

According to a calculation of his historical Elo number , Antze was in the world rankings in August 1923 in 51st place and in September 1929 had his highest rating with 2491. In addition, according to the same calculation, he achieved his best performance at the German Championship in Aachen in 1934 with 2516. According to another calculation, which only covers the years 1900 to 1913, after winning the main tournament in Leipzig in 1913 and the associated awarding of the title of German champion in that year, he had his highest score of 2306.

As a result of his profession as a general practitioner, Antze could only take part in a few tournaments. His successes in group tournaments in Bremen, in which he can show numerous victories against Carls and the third German master of the Bremen chess society, Wilhelm Hilse, speak for his considerable playing strength. With reference to these two master players, Alfred Brinckmann wrote in his obituary for Antze: “He was perhaps not the strongest player in this triumvirate, but certainly the most elegant.” In contrast, Robert Huebner explains : “His best performances were not as impressive as those of Carls, but he got solid results. He could hardly have played any worse than this one, but had even fewer opportunities to polish his skills and prove it. "

  35. ↑ On Antze's index card (State Archives Bremen, StAB 6,16-E.19.i.5.b.1.) Only the date "30/4." noted without year. However, it can be seen from the card that it was entered in "List No. 145"; the same list number appears with the member "Garbade, Heinr." who committed himself on "6.5.19". From this it can be concluded that Antze also became a member in 1919 (and not in any other year). It should be noted, however, that the address on the index card is "Kohlhökerstr. 52", the house which he only acquired on May 5, 1919 - it must remain open, as was the case with the entry "30/4." fits. - Finally, the index card also reveals that Antze was only registered as a reserve and was probably not assigned a number for a " ring collar " for this reason , which served as the identification mark of the members of the military.
