Kibitzer's Corner
May-11-11  myschkin: . . .

Im Bereich des Fernschachspiels konnten die Nationalsozialisten die Verwirklichung des Arierparagraphen nicht durchsetzen, weil es keine nationale Fernschachorganisation gab, sondern nur den IFSB mit seinem Sitz in Deutschland. Juden konnten dort noch lange nach der Einführung des Arierparagraphen ihrem Hobby nachgehen. Doch war auch dies nicht ganz ungefährlich. Wie L. Steinkohl berichtete, spielte beim Pan-Europa-Turnier ein Wiener Spieler [*] gegen den Letten <Dr.Hasenfuß> eine Fernschachpartie. Aufgrund des jüdisch klingenden Namen seines Gegners erschien wenig später die Gestapo bei dem Wiener Fernschachspieler. Während des Krieges wurde den Fernschachspielern verboten Partien mit dem Ausland zu führen oder fortzusetzen. Bestimmte Turniere erhielten jedoch eine Sondergenehmigung. Die Verwendung des Rutberg-Systems, einem Zahlencode für Fernschachturniere, welches die unterschiedlichen Schreibweisen egalisierte, war indes verboten. Man befürchtete, so könnten Informationen codiert ins Ausland gelangen.

(vgl. L.Steinkohl, Faszination Fernschach, 1984, S.229)

[*] nicht diese Partie gemeint

A google translation of the fascinating text posted above by <myschkin>:

<In the field of correspondence chess, the National Socialists could not enforce the Aryan paragraph because there was no national correspondence chess organization, but only the IFSB with its headquarters in Germany. Jews could pursue their hobby there long after the introduction of the Aryan paragraph. But this was also not entirely harmless. As <<<L. Steinkohl>>> reported, a Viennese player [*] played a correspondence chess game against the Latvian <<<Dr.Hasenfuß>>> at the Pan-Europa tournament. Due to the Jewish-sounding name of his opponent, the Gestapo appeared with the Viennese correspondence chess player a little later. During the war, correspondence chess players were prohibited from playing or continuing games abroad. However, certain tournaments were given a special permit. However, the use of the Rutberg system, a numerical code for correspondence chess tournaments, which equalized the different spellings, was prohibited. It was feared that coded information could go abroad.>

<Wolfgang R Hasenfuss> also played another Viennese contestant the Pan Europa Correspondence tournament:
