Aug-29-04    mack: Ouch. Mar-03-07    Knight13: What do you mean Ouch? This guy played a bunch of players a lot better than himself. But I guess you could say "ouch" on his King's Gambit games where he lost all of his games, some of them which are pretty embarrasing. Jan-06-13    thomastonk: The name of this man is Carl Pitschel. His name appears during his life as "Carl" and "Karl", but he wrote "Carl". I have seen an autograph from 1881. May-03-13    thomastonk: Carl Pitschel had a brother named Ernst, and some of the games on this page were in fact played by Ernst, e.g. K Pitschel vs Anderssen, 1851. Ernst died on January 20, 1872 in Vienna. In 1858, he won a tournament of the Wiener Schachgesellschaft with 26 participants ahead of Carl Hamppe, Eduard Jenay, and Heinrich Philipp Schlemm, so he must have been a very strong player.
