My best guess is either K. Lenckey or K. Leuckey (I zoomed in to 400% in my PDF copy and I cannot see an upper or lower connector to determine if the third letter is "n" or "u".

The "ck" ligature seems obvious when compared with the usage on the previous page (second column, second paragraph, last sentence, used in "Augenblicke"), and the last letter seems to definitely be a "y" (again, prior page, second column, third paragraph from the bottom, used in the word "Babys"; the slanted cap denoting the letter "h" is missing which strongly indicates the name ends in a "y").

I think it might be a little late, but wiki uses <Eighth-final> which is a little easier on the eye (imo).

Other terms (like 8th-final) can be found here:

The White player's name, in the game vs Dr. Gold, still doesn't seem 100% certain. It would be nice to find some other mention of any of the candidate names in the contemporaneous literature somewhere - preferably with some chess connection.

Would it be better to just use NN and put a note or comment about the player's name?

After all, if we can't find any other mention then the player is essentially just as opaque to us, and the name can easily be added later if we find more info.

It's somewhat a metaphysical question - but it would allow the game to be added immediately even if we were to continue mulling it over.

I've found the semi-archaic word Octad/Octadic was used in the same context as Quarter. So perhaps Octad-final would be less strange to American (English?) eyes. Eighthfinal still strikes me as odd looking, but I can live with it.

Urcan/06 seems to have gotten the year wrong - his profile is in

<The (NY) Sun - 1892-12-25 - p10c2>

https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/...

Looking at Urcan's ref I had an immediate thought to check the previous year's issue - but on a (admittedly rushed) first pass missed it.

Why?

That's a bit interesting - I first checked the 1893 issue using this search page on LOC:

https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/...

If you look at Dec 25 (1893) you'll see it's a Monday - and unlikely to have the weekly chess column. I still checked of course.

Then I thought maybe the day was wrong, and checked the nearest Sunday issue - Dec. 24.

Mouse over it, and you'll see two pop-ups -

<ed-1>
<ed-2>

Those could be either two sections, or more likely, morning and evening editions.

Now go to the 1892 calendar for the paper:

https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/...

In 1892 Dec 25 fell on a Sunday. Mouse over the date and there's no pop-up, suggesting only one issue.

If you click on it you get <ed-1>, without <Dr. Gold>.

Unfortunately, I was misled from 1893, and thought there wasn't an <ed-2> to check, but there is!

It's in the nav bar, where there's a <2> to skip to the next edition/section.

Here's the dilemma - how to denote the <Source> tag?

The <Source_url> is easy - just point to the right url.

There's two p10's on the <LOC> site - so I guess I have to use a <ed-2> suffix, with is a bit LOC-centric.

But I can't find any indication of morning/evening on the flagmast of the paper.

Anyways, a bit of a nerdy aside, but I thought I'd mention it.

I wonder how often my fellow biographers designate an edition in their <Source> tags?

... [NIC] described Mr. Ivanchuk, 21, in a recent issue as still "a bit of an enigma, partly due to his erratic behavior."

Mr. Seirawan noted earlier this month in his magazine, <Inside Chess>, the death of the distinguished Dutch arbiter Constant Orbaan at age 72 during the Seirawan--Timman match. Orbaan, often aided by Geurt Gijssen, worked many tournaments in Holland, the Interpolis being one of the most significant. ...>

Here's the dilemma - how to denote the <Source> tag?>

Just so long as the Edition is part of the source is good enough!

Nothing, but <Tabanus> went with <Eighthfinal> which seems ok. I'm not heavily invested in this particular issue and was just offering up options.

Those could be either two sections, or more likely, morning and evening editions.>
