Sep-20-04    percyblakeney: Moritz Porges (1857-1909) was Czech, and shared second place after Tarrasch (but far ahead of Mason, Blackburne and Mieses) in Dresden 1892. Mar-13-08    Resignation Trap: Here's a photo of his gravestone: http://www.porges.net/Images/Prague... . Mar-23-08    brankat: According to the gravestone M.Porges was born March/23/1857, not 1858, as stated in the above Bio. Mar-23-08    brankat: Must have been a very capable chess player, Mr.Porges, defeating Steinitz, Albin, Mason, Mieses, Blackburne, Teichman. Drawing with Pillsbury, Chigorin Tarrasch. Aug-02-09    vonKrolock: Group photo from Nuremberg 1896 etc http://www.porges.net/FamilyTreesBi... and in the same site more on the Porges family, for instance the musician Heinrich (closely related to Liszt and Wagner), the writer Elsa Bernstein etc http://www.porges.net/FamilyTreesBi...
