Apr-05-06    EmperorAtahualpa: First name Adolf, and the family name sounds like "Stalin". Could this guy be any more unfortunate? :) Apr-05-06    EmperorAtahualpa: By the way, after viewing his games, I must say that this guy must be the most mediocre national champion ever! Sep-22-08    whiteshark: <EA> I always thought about <Der Stechlin> which is the last novel of Theodor Fontane, who was the most important 19th-century German-language realist writer. Sep-22-08    sneaky pete: Hello, is this the Adolf Stahlhelm page? Apr-05-09    WhiteRook48: No, it is the Adolf Staehelin page. Happy birthday to this player! Apr-05-10    wordfunph: 1/14 in CG games database...7.1% winning record. Apr-05-16    TheFocus: Happy birthday, Joseph Hitler. Apr-05-16    Eastfrisian: <TheFocus> What do you mean with this comment ? Apr-05-16    TheFocus: <Eastfrisian> That should be easy to figure out. I bet you can if you try. Apr-05-16    Eastfrisian: <The Focus> I could, and therefore was the question. To bring Adolf Staehelin in the near of Adolf Hitler should be not a gould style, isn't it ? Apr-05-16    TheFocus: I'll spell it out for you. Joseph + Stalin Adolf + Hitler. ################################# Adolf Staehelin (Stalin) Joseph Hitler. Easy-peasy. Apr-05-16    whiteshark: Moin, <Eastfrisian>! Kiekut / waar di in Acht vör den Unnöösel. Hei mokt bannig dumm Tüüch / Gedoens ). ;) Apr-05-16    whiteshark: "<Dr. Adolf Staehelin>, the Swiss champion in 1927 and twice vice president of the Schachgesellschaft [Zürich] managed to beat the former challenger for the World championship [Efim Bogoljubow ] in a protracted struggle." Source, game and some historical photos http://en.chessbase.com/post/the-wo... Apr-06-16    Eastfrisian: <whiteshark> Moin torüch. Hest recht, jeden Dag tippt he wat to de Gebortsdaag, egal of de dood sünd oder noch leven doot.
