Thanks for the pic! Isn't that Lasker? Lasker did not play Leipzig 1894, but I guess this is an off-hand game.

Thanks for the link! However, Tarrasch did not play officially against Lasker in 1894.

Yes, I agree. What I'm saying is that it wasn't any kind of game, it was just a posed shot.

Apr-23-18  WorstPlayerEver: <keypusher>

Not sure. These gentlemen would play chess all the time. Maybe a blitz game.

However, <jnpope>'s site has his picture:

Nov-30-24  stone free or die: A nice bio of him, in English, can be found here:

https://books.google.com/books?id=v...

(His portrait was featured that month)

He was born in Mitan, Kurland 1840, and moved to Dresden in 1862. He held a "high position in the officies of Governor of Livland". Apparently, ill-health forced an early retirement, and he didn't play in many tournaments in his later days, though he attended many as "Schlachten-Bummler" (Schottlaender).
