JOHANN HERMANN BAUER
(born 1861, died 1891) Czech Republic

[what is this?]

Johann Hermann Bauer was born in Prague, Czechosolvakia in 1861. As a youth he settled in Vienna and won the master title at the Frankfurt Hauptturnier of 1887. His best tournament achievement was at Graz, 1890 (+3, =3) where he finished in 2nd place behind Gyula Makovetz and ahead of Emanuel Lasker and Georg Marco. In 1891 whilst playing in a double-round tournament at Vienna his health broke down when he was sharing the lead with Adolf Albin. He moved to Gorz but died a few weeks later from tuberculosis. He's chiefly remembered for his famous loss to Lasker at Amsterdam 1889.

Sep-02-03		Honza Cervenka: Johann Hermann Bauer

Mar-26-04		nikolaas: That's funny! His name means "pawn" in German.

Mar-26-04		Cecil Brown: Bauer means both pawn and farmer in German I think. The French word Pion means either pawn or peasant. Well, either way the farmers/peasants are important! Try playing a game without them!

Oct-26-05		Eastfrisian: Game 42 can't be with him, because he didn't live at that time.

Feb-26-06		yoozum: J Bauer? Does anybody watch the t.v. show "24"?

Jun-14-07		sneaky pete: Another source gives the place of birth as Kotepek, Bohemia (no such thing as Czech Republic or CzechoSOLvakia back then).

Jun-15-07		vonKrolock: For me,a better way of translating 'farmer' would be "P�chter" or "Landp�chter" - even so, in some places "Bauer" is used for 'farmer'- In others, it's simply 'peasant', but still found for 'rustic' (in the sense of 'rural' - but possibly also 'boorish' or 'awkward' - even if "Grobian" would be a better term for this)
