Mar-11-05 | | sneaky pete: This must be Bernhard Kagan, publisher of the quarterly (later monthly) magazine Kagan's Neueste Schachnachrichten (between 1921 and 1932) and of the great books from that period by Lasker, Nimzowitsch and Tartakower. |

Aug-18-12 | | Karpova: Bernhard Kagan participated in the Hauptturnier A at Hannover which ended on August 5, 1902*. While W. John won ahead of O. S. Bernstein and Augustin Neumann, Bernhard Kagan came in 4th and scored 13.5 out of 21 (+11 =5 -5). He finished ahead of people like Leussen, Loman, Brody, Exner, J. Møller, Fahrni, Bleyckmanns and E. Cohn. Source: Page 187 of the 1902 'Wiener Schachzeitung'
* This is not to be confused with the International Tournament at Hannover from July 21 to August 11, won by Janowski ahead of Pillsbury. |

 | | Telemus: <MissScarlett: One game or two?> Caparrós, 2nd edition, no. 454. He gives Kagan, M. & R.; Chessbase's database 2018 gives Kagan/NN, and another database attributes it to some Michael Kagan. I saw it first many years ago in a newspaper, and only a few years ago in the father's chess magazine, both times with full firstnames: Minna and Ruth (Kagans Neuests Schachnachrichten 1928, p 312-313, annotated by B.Kagan who quotes about the opening moves Tartakower, Bogoljubov and Tarrasch). The game was presented during the simul at a demonstration board because of the great interest, and it ended after four hours. |
