|

 | | chessgames.com: Baron Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa (1808-1899) was a chess historian and theoretician who helped organize the famous Berlin Pleiades. This group of seven strong players met in Berlin from 1837 to 1839 to study and popularize chess. Lasa completed P.R. von Bilguer's superb "Handbuch des Schachspiels", the first edition of which was published in 1843; this magnificent book ran to eight editions (the last, edited by Schlecter, was issued in 1916 and reprinted in 1921) and was the first really reliable work on opening theory. --Fred Wison |

| Aug-12-03 | | sleepkid: ...I just wish I had this guys name. (Oh no! Now I'm stealing names!) |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | Benzol: Just how strong was this guy? |
|
| Jan-30-04 | | paolo41: The Pleiade has been the first "research group" in the history of chess. Their games have built the chess theory of the XIX century. |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | Vischer: Is this the longest name in chessgames.com? anyone know if there's anyone with a longer name? |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | Vischer: mayb Eugene Aleksandrovich Znosko-Borovsky |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | Vischer: ya i think it is Eugene Aleksandrovich Znosko-Borovsky |
|
| May-13-04 | | Gypsy: Yeah. But he is only a inches ahead of Fyodor Ivanovich Dus-Chotimirsky. |
|
| May-13-04 | | Gypsy: Together, they leave Alexander Ilyin-Zhenevsky behind by a full name length. |
|
| May-13-04 | | BiLL RobeRTiE: What about Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritsky? |
|

Maria Raquel Bernaldo De Quiros Lopez Francisco Javier San Claudio Gonzalez
Conrad Waldemar Vitzthum von Eckstaedt
and the winner:
Count Grigory Alexandrovich Kushelev-Bezborodko |
|
| May-13-04 | | Gypsy: Ok, Count Grigory has the lead, but my money is on Dr. Jana: At this rate, she is bound to overtake Count Grigory soon! (Dr. Jana could put together a decent Olympic team from her husbands.) |
|
| May-14-04 | | Benzol: Yes <Gypsy>, but Tony Miles would have to play through a medium. Could I nominate
Mikhail Bonch-Osmolovsky as a candidate for the longest name. |
|
| May-14-04 | | Gypsy: <Benzol: Yes <Gypsy>, but Tony Miles would have to play through a medium.>
Unfortunately. I probably am not alone who deeply regrets his passing. <Could I nominate Mikhail Bonch-Osmolovsky as a candidate for the longest name.> Absolutely! Delighted to have him here! |
|
| May-14-04 | | Gypsy: Since the topic of ex-husbands of Dr. Jana came up, I'll use this strange opportunity to also recomend to your favor Mr. Hartston: He is a superb chess writer! His "Better Chess" is a simple, unasuming book; but I found it quite informative and a witty pageturner. |

 | | jaime gallegos: Posen and Breslau were cities with excellent german ( or prussian ) chessplayers ... now Poznan and Wroclaw |
|
| Jul-14-04 | | tomh72000: <Gypsy> I have Hartson's "Better Chess" too. I found it very entertaining and it taught me a lot. I also have another of his books, "Penguin Chess Openings" which helped me massively, although it is from the early eighties so some is out of date. |
|
| Aug-19-04 | | Ziggurat: From The Project Gutenberg EBook of Chess History and Reminiscences, by H. E. Bird, http://www.gutenberg.net/dirs/etext...: "The name of a much greater though more demure Master,
happily still in the flesh, Von Heydebrand Der Lasa, considered
by many, including Morphy, as the finest chess-player of his
time, and certainly one of the most distinguished of foreign
writers, is not even mentioned." |
|
| Sep-10-04 | | Knight13: Baron Tassilo Heydebrand und der Lasa got a long name. |

| Sep-10-04 | | Gypsy: < tomh72000: I have Hartson's "Better Chess" too. I found it very entertaining and it taught me a lot. > Glad you also enjoy it! :-)) < I also have another of his books, "Penguin Chess Openings" which helped me massively,...> I must keep my eyes open. Is it in algebraic notation? |
