At his time he was an ignored chess genius which did cost him evantualy his
life.
Besides the the events they couldn't ignore
So actualy a dramatic situation that only after his dead he did get the credit
he deserved.
If they would have givven him that credit he would have played a lot more known
games.
So we  even could have enjoyed more of him .
