 | | GrahamClayton: A long time member of the Manhattan Chess Club, and one of the strongest amateur players in New York City. As well as playing Lasker in a match in 1893, Ettlinger also too part in the Masters Tournament at the Manhattan Cafe, also in 1893, defeating Pillsbury in their individual game. |

 | | Tabanus: There is an Alfred Ettlinger, 28 (= born ca. 1852) living in Cincinnati in 1880. He and his parents born in Baden, Germany. He is married and a "Traveling Salesman For Clothing". So Manhattan Chess Club would be within reach. |

 | | Tabanus: Born 18 May 1852 in Karlsruhe (which is in Baden) according to passport application in 1892: http://interactive.ancestry.com/117... |

 | | Tabanus: Two family trees has Kaula as middle name. He went to Puerto Rico with son Arthur on the ship Brazos in Sept. 1919: http://interactive.ancestry.com/225..., the birth year says 1851 but four different passport applications have 1852. |
|
Sep-19-14 | | Calli: Good job everyone! Don't know why I trusted that Winter guy, but I see that Larry has straightened him out. |
|
Sep-20-14 | | crawfb5: The original note was based on a Chicago newspaper article saying that news had been received that Ettlinger had died. That wording, along with Stonehenge's question about the headstone left some doubt as to the exactness of the death date. So the <NY Times> death notice seems to me a case of a second, more precise, source coming to light rather than some error needing correction. |

May-18-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Alfred Ettlinger.
Sorry they stuck you with a crappy bio. |
|
Jun-19-17 | | zanzibar: Updating Calli's link - C.N. 8831
RE: <Focus>'s crap - a non-existent bio is different than a crappy bio, at least in my book. |
|
Jun-19-17 | | zanzibar: NY Sun 1920-01-04 p22
<Being engaged in the tobacco business, Mr. Ettlinger was often in Havana and there met Capablanca long before that famous expert came to New York to develop into a master player.> No mention of visiting his son, which is curious. |
|
Jun-19-17 | | zanzibar: The last tournament play mentioned in the press was the NY Trib 1919-03-30 p18 which recorded Kupchik win of the annual Manhattan CC championship - with score 5.5-0.5, the only game Kupchik didn't win was his draw against Ettlinger. |
|
Jun-19-17 | | zanzibar: I'm trying to find a good picture of Ettlinger. Finding any picture whatsoever, is a difficult task. But Winter's site has one, albeit very poor (low-res): http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... (Scroll down about ~3/4)
He's sitting by the window in the 1918 MCC tournament (ACB Dec 1918 p252). Now there is this photo from MCC(? - where/when??) http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... C.N. 5742
I suspect the tall man in the back, next to Marshall's son(?) is Ettlinger. Could this be correct?
Is there a decent photo of him available somewhere? . |
|
Jun-19-17 | | zanzibar: (Obviously, in the 2nd photo the man isn't wearing glasses, but the general features of the face, mouth, and hairline seem to match nicely) |
|
Sep-15-20 | | Marcelo Bruno: <zanzibar> I think is the one wearing a monocle. |
