1923: Walter Jurgschat becomes president of a local association (which?) and of the club DSV 1854 Source: http://www.duesseldorfer-schachvere... 1948: 67-year-old Jurgschat participates at the Berlin championship. Source: Alan McGowan's book on Kurt Richter, page 252. Edochess has three formal matches:
1922 with Leonhardt, P.S.: 3.5:1.5
1923 with Thomas, G.A.: 10.5:6.5
1924 with Multhaup, H.: 3:3
The result is a rating of ~2500 in these years. |

| | Telemus: Meanwhile I have some doubts on the three matches quoted from Edochess. There two sources are given: 1. Di Felice, Chess Results, 1921-1930, and
2. Feenstra Kuiper, 100 Jahre Schachzweikämpfe.
Feenstra Kuiper gives Berlin as place in all cases. Jurgschat lived in Düsseldorf, Sir G.A. Thomas in England, P.S. Leonhardt probably in Hamburg and Heinz Multhaup (*1902, journalist) in Essen. So, why should these matches stage in Berlin? I found none of the matches mentioned in DSZ 1922 or 1923 and many other sources. Can anybody confirm one of these matches?
Does Di Felice give sources?

Regarding the match with Thomas: there was a player named Thomas on board one, when the Rheinisch-Westfälische Schachverband played against the Netherlands in 1914. |

| Sep-05-21 | | Alan McGowan: Ancestry.com shows Eduard Heinrich Walter Jurgschat born 3 November 1881 in Kiel. This fits with it being said he was 67 at the 1948 Berlin championship. He married in 1911, at which time he was living in Magdeburg. His occupation was Kaufmann (merchant). A 1941 phone directory shows Walther Jurgschat at Clausewitzstr. 3, Berlin. This same address is shown in several issues of Engelhardts Schach Taschen Jahrbuch up to the 1960 edition, but is not in the next edition in 1962. I agree with <Telemus> in regards to the match results shown. There is no way that a supposed 17-game match with Sir George Thomas in 1923 would not have been commented on in major chess periodicals at the time. The Deutsche Schachzeitung 1923 does not show Jurgschat in its name index, and the five listings for Thomas have nothing to do with a match against him. |

| Sep-07-21 | | Chessist: Jurgschat lost the match with Leonhardt 0,5:4,5 in Düsseldorf. "Thomas" was a certain Hans Thomas from Düsseldorf. And the match with Multhaup was played 1923/24 in Düsseldorf and Essen alternately. Jurgschat lost another match with Alfred van Nuess 2,5:3,5 in Düsseldorf 1924. |

@Hagen
In June 1923 Jurgschat - now living near the old 'Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof' in Dorotheenstraße, followed Carl Höing (still no accurate page to link to, stevemcd87 chessforum (kibitz #417)) as
'Vorsitzender des Rheinisch-Westfälischen Verbandes' and in Dec 1924 declined his own secure re-election due to job related obligations (a certain 'Chefarzt Dr. Zimmermann' won a tie before everyone went to bed) that already came up in early (29 March) 1923 when the merchant Walter was hired as 'Repräsentant' for the Gewerkschaft 'St. Servatius' in Neustadt (Magdeburg) by his then predecessor 'Generaldirektor Dr. Max Heinhold' [according to 'Amtsregister Königswinter']. He left the city of Düsseldorf beginning of 1925.
Possible venue (pretty unique back then) for 1924 is hinted to have been a cafe in/around http://www.allekinos.com/DUESSELDOR...

Open questions ('match doubts', relation to other players and overall milieu) need a closer look. Many (more) gamescores survived, the whole match 'thing' still remains odd and the timeline shown by Alain must be incorporated.

 | | Tabanus: https://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/v... Algemeen Handelsblad 8 June 1914 p. 11 has the game Marchand vs Jurgschat. On the Rheinland team (top board?) there is a "Thomas". |

| | Tabanus: https://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/v... 21 Feb 1924 p. 8 says the Massakamp matches between Rheinland-Westfalen and Nederland took place in 1904, 1906, 1911 and 1914, and will be held again later in 1924. https://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/v... reports on this event in 1925. Delpher has a link also to De Maasbode 20 Sep 1926, but I can't find it there. |
