  BishopBerkeley: It's certainly not too far-fetched an idea, <tal lover>. Here's Wikipedia on the celebrated mathematician Bernhard Riemann:

And here is Mathworld on some of his contributions (multiple pages in the listings):

Best wishes....

  MissScarlett: Gaige and the article by Negele, contra Wikipedia, give his date of death as 22.11.1932.
Jun-16-18  wrap99: Hey tal lover, I had same question about Riemann the mathematician. The fact that they share a last name and were both involved in very demanding intellectual pursuits make it not completely unlikely. The birth year makes him being a cousin once removed or nephew more likely than being of the same generation. The interesting thing is sort of a family resemblance.
Jun-21-21  Nosnibor: Did he play any chess after 1888? This was the year of his greatest success after sharing first place with Von Bardeleben and also beating Tarrasch in the same event.

  Steakanator: <Nosnibor> he played one (1) game at Berlin (1890) and then never played another serious match or tournament.
