ARVED HEINRICHSEN (born Nov-23-1876, died Aug-23-1900, 23 years old) Lithuania [what is this?] Born into a German family in Vilnius (Lithuania, then Russian Empire), he entered a gymnasium secondary school in Riga. After a short stay in St Petersburg, he left in 1896 for Berlin to study there at the faculty of medicine. In the summer semester of 1898 he continued in his studies at the university in Kiel, but in late summer he began to suffer from health problems. In September 1898 his Berlin doctor diagnosed the beginning of tuberculosis. The parents sent him, at the doctor's recommendation, to Helouan in Egypt but there he contracted malaria, which undermined his physical strength still more. He spent the rest of his life in his native town Vilnius, and died in the summer of 1900 in the circle of his family. His very short chess career took place in Germany in 1896–1898. He tied for 4-5th at Eisenach 1896(the 10th DSB Congress, Robert Henry Barnes won), took 6th at Berlin 1897 (Meisterturnier des Schachverein Centrum, Curt von Bardeleben won), took 3rd, behind Ignatz von Popiel and Dirk Beijkmans, at Berlin 1897 (Der 70.Jahrestag der Berliner Schachgesellschaft, Hauptturnier A), shared 1st at Elmshorn 1898 (quadrangular), and tied for 13-14th at Cologne 1898 (the 11th DSB Congress, Amos Burn won). His name is attached to the Heinrichsen Opening (also known as Baltic, Dunst, Sleipner, Kotrc, and Queen's Knight Opening) 1. Nc3.

Aug-28-08    GrahamClayton: Arved Heinrichsen died in Vilnius on the 23rd of August 1900 from tubercolosis at the young age of 23. The 1863 game is obviously not the same player. Sep-02-08    GrahamClayton: Source: CN K 1997 Edward Winter, "Kings, Commoners & Knaves", Russell Enterprises, 1999 Jan-17-10    Marcelo Brasileiro: A correction: the first game wasn't played by Arved. Being born in 1876, how could he play in 1863? A better precision for his birth and death dates: * 23rd November, 1876 † 23rd August, 1900 This information is taken from Vlastimil Fiala's book "11th German Chess Association Congress: Cologne 1898". Aug-09-10    vonKrolock: <"Arved Heinrichsen was born on 23 November 1876 in Vilno in Poland as the son of German parents. After attending the junior school he entered the Gymnasium secondary school in the town of Riga. After a short stay in St Petersburg he left in 1896 for Berlin to study there at the faculty of Medicine. "In the summer semester of 1898 he continued in his studies at the university in Kiel, but in late summer he began to suffer from health problems. In September 1898 his Berlin doctor diagnosed the beginning of tuberculosis. The parents sent him, at the doctor's recommendation, to Helouan in Egypt but there he contracted malaria, which undermined his physical strength still more. He spent the rest of his life in summer in his native town, in winter in the sunny south, but without any hope of overcoming his tuberculosis, a fatal disease in those days. He died in the later summer of 1900 in the circle of his family."> quoted from Fiala's 'Cologne 1898' - second hand quote, showed online already by Silman, who reviewed this book on <"Amos Burn's greatest victory (11.5 out of 15), a full point ahead of Charousek, Chigorin, and Steinitz. Players that trailed them were Schlechter and Showalter (9 points), Berger (8), Janowsky (7.5), with Popiel, Schi<<l>>ffers, Gottschall, Albin, Heinrichsen, Fritz (computers weren't very good back then) <<note:lol>>, and Schallopp filling out the field.> Aug-09-10    whiteshark: His very short chess career took place in Germany in 1896–1898. He tied for 4-5th at <Eisenach 1896>( the 10th DSB Congress, Robert Henry Barnes won), took 6th at <Berlin 1897> (Meisterturnier des Schachverein Centrum, Curt von Bardeleben won), took 3rd, behind Ignatz von Popiel and Dirk Beijkmans, at <Berlin 1897> (Der 70.Jahrestag der Berliner Schachgesellschaft, Hauptturnier A), shared 1st at <Elmshorn 1898> (quadrangular), and tied for 13-14th at <Cologne 1898> (the 11th DSB Congress, Amos Burn won). His name is attached to the Heinrichsen Opening (also known as Baltic, Dunst, Sleipner etc) <1. Nc3>. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arved_... Feb-07-17    Marcelo Bruno: Besides his most known photo that was taken from the participants of the Berlin 1897 tournament (the big one), I found the following one here: http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/ka... I asked the person that posted it, but until the present time no answer came to me. Can be someone luckier than me? Jan-26-19    Stonehenge: <Arved Heinrichsen was born on 23 November 1876> 1879 is also being mentioned. Apr-06-21    hemy: Today I received generous gift from Dr. Vlastimil Fiala - his book "11th German Chess Association congress. Cologne 1898". I only asked him for the scan of the page 195, but he sent my the book. The <second hand quote, showed online already by Silman> (Arved Heinrichsen (kibitz #40)) is indeed accurate. The photo of Arved is missing in the book. <Marcelo Bruno> - regarding the picture under the name "Arved Heinrichsen" on https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/k..., it is a picture of Andre Caplet, French composer and conductor. Dec-08-21    Marcelo Bruno: <hemy> You are right. It seems the only surviving portrait of him is a picture taken from the Berlin International Tournament in 1897 (he is with a hat on his head, without beard, with a very thin appearance). Please take a look at this: https://zanchess.files.wordpress.co... Dec-09-21    hemy: <Marcelo Bruno> Fortunately I checked the "kibitz" of CG today, otherwise I would miss your post. I'm preoccupied with working on Lithuanian chess history project (together with Eugenijus Paleckis) and rarely posting on CG. At the end of January I found the picture of the <Berlin International Tournament, 1897> players in Cleveland Public Library Digital Gallery. Apr-03-23    stone free or die: <A. Heinrichsen was in Egypt in the winter of 1898/99. During his stay in Alexandria, a chess club was formed there, the strongest player of which is Habil Gazalch .> DSZ v55 N2 (Feb 1900) p68 https://books.google.com/books?id=K... Apr-03-23    stone free or die: In the Gazulch game (not exactly sure why BCM hypenated his first + last names together) there's some more bio info: <GAME No. 1,960. Played at Alexandria, Egypt, in January, 1898. This game is prefaced by the following statement: "On August 23rd ult., the young master, A. Heinrichsen, died in the 24th year of his age. Born at Vilna, of German parents, he studied at the Gymnasium of Riga. In 1895 he went to St. Petersburg, and in 1896 to Berlin as a medical student. He was much given to chess, and in 1897 won the second prize in the Haupt Turnier of Berlin. Attacked by tuberculosis, he lost his energy before the end of the Cologne Tourney as to resign a won game to Steinitz. With him chess will lose one of its best future representatives. We take the score and notes of this game from La Rivista Scacchistica Italiasia.> BCM v20 N12 (Dec 1900) p500 https://books.google.com/books?id=G... Please note that the German sources are probably the original, and most reliable. The previous post calls notice to the info provided in DSZ saying he was in Egypt in winter 98/99. So, if the game is to have been played in Jan, it must have been Jan 1899 and not Jan 1898. I'll repost in the game page (and call attention to Winter's notice of this game as well).
