Jun-14-05    Kangaroo: Unfortunately, his most memorable game was Von Gottschall vs Tarrasch, 1896 won by his opponent. Jun-14-05    WTHarvey: I would nominate Von Gottschall vs Jakob Manfred, 1900 as his best game. Here are some puzzles from Hermann's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/vgot.html Jun-14-05    Knight13: I am celebrating my 3000th kibitzing right here! Hooray! Jun-14-05    Knight13: These two games are played at Nuremberg, 1888, where he achieved the best result: Von Gottschall vs J Mieses, 1888 and J Mieses vs Von Gottschall, 1888. Jun-14-05    aw1988: This is a hell of a strange place to celebrate a 3000th kibitz, but then again I did mine on "Santa", so I guess I shouldn't say anything. Congratulations Knight13! Oct-16-05    Knight13: Hermann Von Gottschall'S BIRTHDAY! Cool. The guy I celebrated my 3000th kibitzking on. He's.... Umm.... 143 years old! Mar-05-08    Knight13: Kicked Tarrasch's butt in 29 moves too: Tarrasch vs Von Gottschall, 1925
