| Feb-06-09 | | Karpova: One of his greatest successes was his shared second place at Cologne, 1898. That's the crosstable ("The New York Times", 1898.08.20, page 10): 1. Burn 11.5/15
2-4. Cohn 10.5
2-4. Chigorin 10.5
2-4. Charousek 10.5
5. Steinitz 9.5
6-7. Schlechter 9.0
6-7. Showalter 9.0
8. Berger 8.0
9. Janowsky 7.5
10-11. Schiffers 7.0
10-11. Von Popiel 7.0
12. Von Gottschall 5.5
13-14. Albin 4.0
13-14. Heinrichsen 4.0
15. Fritz 3.5
16. Schallopp 3.0
<Burn, therefore, won the first prize; Charousek, Cohn and Tschigorin divided the second, third and fourth prizes in equal shares; Steinitz took the fifth, Schlechter and Showalter divided the sixth and seventh, and Berger received the eighth. The prizes, eight in number, were of the following amounts: First prize, 1000 marks; second, 750 marks; third, 500 marks; fourth, 400 marks; fifth, 300 marks; sixth, 200 marks; seventh, 150 marks; eighth, 100 marks.> |

 | | Bishoprick: Probably the greatest mustache in chess. . . ever! |
|
| Feb-06-09 | | Ychromosome: No contest on the mustache. |

 | | keypusher: I have been looking at the London 1899 tournament book. Cohn's heroic mustache is belied by his quiet, unassuming playing style. But here is a pretty finish from W Cohn vs J Mason, 1899 after 58....Ng3:

 | | Domdaniel: I have this strong urge to photoshop Cohn's *moustaches* onto some of today's players. That great bat-winged double catenary would look great on, say, Grischuk. Or perhaps Nigel Short? |

| | Domdaniel: <Stonehenge> Heh. Funnily enough, I had the same idea. Once the fad for depilation fades, maybe the lady-tache will be all the rage ... |

| | Domdaniel: <Annie> I'd give Showalter the top score for *volume* (voluminosity?) but Cohn is still ahead for defying the law of gravity. Wax? Superglue? Will-power? |

 | | brankat: R.I.P. master Cohn. |
|
| Feb-06-12 | | Penguincw: R.I.P Cohn. |
|
| Feb-06-12 | | Petrosianic: Yes, he is dead, but you both forgot to mention that his first name was Wilhelm. |
|
| Feb-06-12 | | Penguincw: < Petrosianic: Yes, he is dead, but you both forgot to mention that his first name was Wilhelm. > It doesn't have to. Some people just like to say their last name, which I find common. |

| | brankat: <OhioChessFan> <At least the 4 of us increased our kibitzing total.> Precisely!
Now <Petrosianic> knows the rationale for r.i.p.ing :-) |
|
| Feb-10-12 | | Penguincw: < OhioChessFan: At least the 4 of us increased our kibitzing total. > Sure. :) |
|
| Jul-18-12 | | Karpova: According to the '(Neue) Wiener Schachzeitung' 1913, page 226, Wilhelm Cohn died due to a heart disease. |
