I have to say, it's a surprise to watch a Diemer game and find the absolute craziest move was from the other guy. If you out crazy Diemer you must be a real original.
Diemer has got to be one of the weirdest characters in Chess history, weirder than even Morphy's death and Fischer's mental descent. Man has connections with Nazi's, got booted out of the Federation, and for some reason started following Nostradamus, already coupled with his very unorthodox chess playing style.
Diemer was expelled from the German chess federation in 1953 for homosexuality and "corruption of innocent youth." Also, he wasn't a Nazi-sympathizer, but a literal Nazi.

Fascinating game. Great play-by-play. This illustrates why I’ll never be good at chess… Have you ever done a video talking about The Turk? As far as chess is concerned it’s more sizzle than steak, but the story sure is interesting.
Levy thank you so much for featuring Emil Joseph Diemer, he’s on of my favorite players. I don’t care for your preface about any historical non-chess details about the guy but that’s besides the point. Great video :)
Hey levy :3. I noticed something cool and I wanted to share it with you since I know you’re Ukrainian. While I talking to my Dad, he’s Ukrainian, he told my little brother to drop something out of his hands, “Кинь срук” which sounds a lot like “Kings Rook”. I though it was cool, hope you did too :7

"And he was a nazi simpathizer"
Fischer: what? Somebody called me?
was he really a nazi sympathizers?
What??
I don’t think he was a nazi sympathiser but he definitely had anti-Semitic rhetoric (pardon my spelling if anything is wrong)
Fischer wasn't a Nazi symphatizer at all, he was angry with his mother and tried to be controversial( also remember he was crazy like Fox News)
