 Also according to Iov, Vorel was masterful in his 1914 canvass "The Card Players".By then, Vorel was in contact with Albert Bloch, an American member of "Der Blaue Reiter".In 1910–1912 Vorel, Bloch and Hanns Bolz worked as cartoonists for a satirical magazine, "Der Komet", which was probably conceived of in Munich's Café Stefanie; the editor was anarchist writer Erich Mühsam, who regularly played chess with Vorel.
