Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-11-07  SBC: Does anyone know anything about this guy?
Feb-11-07  vonKrolock: Well, there's a brief entry in German in the wikipedia, with just following: <"Theodor von Scheve (* 11. Juni 1851 in Cosel; † 19. April 1922 in Patschkau) war ein deutscher Schachmeister.

Von Scheve, der recht spät zum Schach fand und "der Schachwelt das vielleicht einzig dastehende Schauspiel gegeben, wie sich ein guter Spieler noch im reifen Mannesalter zum wirklichen Meister entwickelt" (Tarrasch), nahm in den Jahren 1887 bis 1911 mit ausgezeichneten Erfolgen an vielen internationalen Turnieren teil. Unter anderem wurde er Vierter in Leipzig 1888 und Dritter in Monte Carlo 1901.

Seine beste historische Elo-Zahl betrug 2669. Diese erreichte er im Januar 1902.

Von Scheve veröffentlichte einen beachtlichen Essay schach-philosophischer Gedanken: Der Geist des Schachspiels, Berlin 1919."> He took part in Leipzig, 1894 (were young Carl Schlechter appeared for the first time in the internatinal arena): in my writings I see: <von Scheve, suffering from insomnia, withdrew from the Tournament after the half> So, if I'm recalling right, his results counted (Schlechter won their Game on forfeit)

Feb-11-07  sneaky pete: Elsewhere Cosel is given as Kosel, a village in Schleswig-Holstein (Sleswick-Holsatia). Patschkau is now Paczków in Poland. Army officer by profession, living (or stationed) in Breslau (where he co-founded the Schachverein Breslau Anderssen and of course met Dr Tarrasch) and later in Berlin. Proof of his strength are matches he drew in Berlin in 1891 against Walbrodt (+4 -4 =2) and Von Bardeleben (+4 -4 =4).
Feb-11-07  SBC: <vonKrolock> and <sneaky pete>

Thank you both very much for taking your time and trouble to retrieve that information. It's a great help.

Feb-15-07  vonKrolock: <SBC> You're welcome! Of course, <sneaky pete>'s message is much more consistent, original and informative...

Von Scheve, der recht spät zum Schach fand, hat nach Siegbert Tarrasch s Einschätzung „der Schachwelt das vielleicht einzig dastehende Schauspiel gegeben, wie sich ein guter Spieler noch im reifen Mannesalter zum wirklichen Meister entwickelt“. Er nahm in den Jahren 1887 bis 1911 mit bemerkenswerten Erfolgen an vielen internationalen Turnieren teil. Unter anderem wurde er Vierter in Leipzig 1888 und Dritter in Monte Carlo 1901.

Congrats Captain

Schwamm drüber, mein Monokel muss wohl mal zum User: Autoreparaturwerkbau;)

Sep-23-11  zydeco: Here's some information on von Scheve, all from Google Books.

He was a major in the Prussian arms (seems to have been in the artillery) stationed for a time with the Emperor of China, who decorated him personally.

- George Greville More, More Society Recollections

"Von Scheve is considered one of the most studious masters in Germany. He is not thought to be very strong, but if once he gets a theoretical advantage in a game he is apt to win against the strongest antagonist."

- Checkmate Magazine, Vol 1

Steinitz says that von Scheve "is regarded as a player who has learned much [he seems to have started playing seriously when he was fairly old] and plays correctly according to the principles of the modern school."

- International Chess Magazine, Vol 7
