Aug-25-05    Calli: Skinner and Verhoeven give the last name as "Freiman". Most Russian sources also use "Freiman" , for instance, http://www.ruschess.com/Rusbase/USS... - Sergey didn't do too well in 1934! The St. Petersburg tournament book, however, does go with "von Freymann". So what is the story? Why did he sometimes use a German version of his name? <Sneaky Pete> - maybe you know? :-) May-03-06    BIDMONFA: Sergey Nikolaevich Von Freymann VON FREYMANN, Sergey N. http://www.bidmonfa.com/von_freyman... _ May-03-06    Knight13: I don't reall know this guy, but he did achieve some good accomplishments! Mar-28-11    amaurobius: <Knight13: I don't reall know this guy, but he did achieve some good accomplishments!> According to CG database, 3-1 against pre-war Rubinstein, including 2-0 in Rubinstein's annus mirabilis 1912! He also scalped Alekhine in 1912. Aug-19-12    Karpova: The St. Petersburg Chess Association arranged a master tournament that went from mid-november to mid-december 1907 which Von Freymann won in impressive style: 1. Von Freymann 8.5 2-3. Alapin 7.0 2-3. Lebedev 7.0 4. A. Romanovsky* 5.5 5-6. Abkin 5.0 5-6. Kojalowitsch 5.0 7-8. Henneberger 3.0 7-8. Tereshchenko 3.0 9. Schukowski 1.0 10. Rosenkrantz (played only two games (both losses) and then dropped out) From page 122 of the 1908 'Wiener Schachzeitung' * Most likely Alexander Arsenievich Romanovsky
