EMIL SCHALLOPP
(born Aug-01-1843, died Apr-09-1919, 75 years old) Germany

[what is this?]

Emil Schallopp was born in Friesack, Germany. He went to the secondary school Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium in Berlin from 1856 to 1861, graduating excellently. He was interested in the Latin and Greek classics, writing poetry in Latin himself and made metric translations of German poetry into Latin. He began to study in Berlin in 1861. Having learned stenography in 1858, he worked as a stenographer in the Prussian House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus) from 1865 to 1872, and from 1872 onwards in the Reichstag. Schallopp married in 1869, but his wife passed away in 1879. He married again in 1881, and his second wife passed away in 1884. He later married for a third time. He had seven children (as of April 1890).(1)

Schallopp learned the rules of chess in 1856 in Berlin. He didn't know about chess books until 1861, when he studied several chess books. In October 1861, he joined the Academic Chess Club. He became a member of the Berlin Chess Society in Winter 1863/64.(1) He played several games against Adolf Anderssen in 1864.(2) He participated in the 6th West German Chess Congress in Cologne (1867).(3) He contributed heavily to the foundation of the German Chess Federation and was one of its most influential members (as of April 1890).(1) From 1879 to 1889, he was chairman of the Berlin Chess Society.(1) Schallopp came in 4th at Wiesbaden (1880).(4) He came in 10th out of 19 at Nuremberg (1883). He shared 1st place, but lost the play-offs at the Berlin (1883) Hauptturnier C.(5) He shared 8th place out of 18 at Hamburg (1885). He finished shared 2nd with Henry Edward Bird at Hereford (1885).(6) He was awarded the Brilliancy prize at London (1886),(7),(1) and would have been awarded it for his game against Johannes Zukertort also at Nottingham (1886),(8) where he came in 2nd, if he hadn't refused the nomination.(1) He came in 11th out of 20 at Manchester (1890).(9) He shared 2nd place at the Berlin (1898/99) Winter tournament.(10) In match play, he drew Fritz Riemann in 1880,(11) and lost to Karl August Walbrodt in 1891 (12) and against Andreas Asharin in 1893.(13)

Schallopp's chess literary works included Leipzig (1877), Paris (1878), Leipzig (1879), Berlin (1881), Nuremberg (1883) and the Steinitz - Zukertort World Championship Match (1886). In 1887, he became an editor of the Deutsches Wochenschach,(1) but left the editorial staff at the end of 1890 for lack of time.(14) In 1885, when the publishing house Veit & Co. in Leipzig wanted to prepare the 7th edition of Paul Rudolf von Bilguer 's Handbuch des Schachspiels, Schallopp became head of the project.(15)

Oct-13-07		keypusher: <A book of minature games I had when I was a kid said something like Schallopp had a fondness for "mettlesome play" and allowed the closed game "to remain a book sealed with seven seals." It then gave this game: Anderssen vs E Schallopp, 1864> Oops, I think it actually gave this game: Janowski vs E Schallopp, 1896 Although the Anderssen game was in the book too, I think.

Aug-01-09		whiteshark: Player of the Day Obituary "Der deutsche Altmeister Emil Schallopp ist am 9.April in Berlin-Steglitz gestorben. Wie das "Deutsche Wochenschach" erwÃ¤hnt, erlitt Schallopp vor einigen Jahren einen Schlaganfall, dessen Folgen er nicht mehr Ã¼berwinden konnte. Am 15.April wurde er auf dem Steglitzer Friedhof beigesetzt. Eine zahlreiche Gemeinde von Freunden und Bekannten gab ihm das Geleit. Der "Deutsche Schachbund", dessen Ehrenmitglied der Verstorbene war, hat einen Kranz am Grabe niederlegen lassen. Emil Schallopp ist am 1.August 1843 in Friesack, in der Mark, geboren. UrsprÃ¼nglich war er Philologe, spÃ¤ter wandte er sich der Stenographie (System Stolze) zu und wurde Vorstand des stenographischen Bureaus im Reichstage. Schon als JÃ¼ngling widmete er sich dem Schachspiele, und in der Zeit von etwa 1863-1871 hat er in Berlin in KÃ¤mpfen mit Anderssen, Zukertort, Neumann und Suhle eine bedeutende SpielstÃ¤rke erlangt. SpÃ¤ter nahm er erfolgreich in den Meisterturnieren zu Wiesbaden (1880), NÃ¼rnberg (1883), Hamburg (1885), Hereford (1885), Frankfurt (1887) teil. Auch schachliterarisch leistete er Hervorragendes. Unter anderem bearbeitete er die siebente Auflage des v.Bilguerschen "Handbuches". Sein Spieltypus war geistreich und glÃ¤nzend und machte ihn zu einem stets hÃ¶chst gefÃ¤hrlichen Gegner. In jÃ¼ngeren Jahren zeichnete er sich auch als vortrefflicher Blindspieler aus, der mit Leichtigkeit und Eleganz acht Partien gleichzeitig fÃ¼hrte." Quelle: Deutsche Schachzeitung Nr.5 Mai 1919, S.108/109 Link: http://www.berlinerschachverband.de... (Nr. 68) The 2nd paragraph also answers the question of <DoctorD>.

Aug-01-09		WhiteRook48: happy birthday!

Oct-18-09		Marcelo Brasileiro: There's a picture in which he somewhat looks-a-like Freud: that's the one from the 11th Chess Congress of the German Chess Association, in Cologne 1898. On the other hand, if I am not mistaken, his family name is a variation of Schaluppe, that means shalopp in English.

Oct-30-09		Marcelo Brasileiro: Dear Nikolaas I took a look at the following site and found for you the answer: http://www.freewebs.com/pc-chess/Bl... The game you mentioned was played in Berlin, 1891; it's from a simultaneous exhibition that Schallopp did. Best wishes Marcelo

May-26-10		Marcelo Brasileiro: Folks, why does the Wikipedia only in German mention that he was a chess master and the version in other languages (English, for example) tell that he was "only" a chess player?

May-26-10		keypusher: <Marcelo Brasilero> This is a common phenomenon; I've noticed that the articles in Chessbase in German often have more intellectual heft than the articles published in English on the same day. Clearly, native German speakers are smarter than the rest of us, and so are given more challenging material to read.

Jan-19-11		GrahamClayton: Here is some more biographical information on Emil Schallopp: "Born in Germany and educated in Berlin. Interested in classical literature, he wrote poems in Latin and translated German classics into latin. After studying stenography he was chosen as stenographer of the North German Parliament, later the Imperial Parliament. He was also President of the Shorthand Association and a member of the Commissioner of Examiners. He started to play chess rather late in life but made up for lost time and participated successfully in many congresses and matches. He wrote numerous books, including one on the 1883 Steinitz-Zukertort match." "The Steinitz papers: letters and documents of the first world chess champion"; William Steinitz, Kurt Landsberger, McFarland, 2002, p. 304

Aug-01-12		chesssalamander: perfidious, Thanks!

Mar-14-15		zanzibar: If, when viewing <whiteshark>'s post, there are "funny" characters, be sure that your browser is using "Unicode" character-encoding, and not "Western".

Mar-14-15		zanzibar: On page 57 of <Schachzeitung v26 N2 Feb 1871> there is a game <Schallopp, E -- Schallopp, Anna (R?) 61 1-0> Who is Anna Schallopp? Wife, daugther, ... ? On move 47 both sides promote, White then proceeds to deliver 13 straight checks, where Black gets awarded 3 ! moves. Finally a capture on b1, without check, and Black resigns.

Mar-21-16		Marcelo Bruno: I remember that Richard Forster's biography about Amos Burn tells that Schallopp, at the occasion of the 11th Chess Congress of the German Chess Association, was then not more with master strength because his mind was "deteriorated". Does anyone know which was the ground of this situation? On the other hand, I remember that I read when he was 66 years old (in 1909), he suffered a stroke and was unable to recover itk although I don't know the real cause(s).

Aug-01-16		offramp: <Marcelo Brasileiro: If I am not mistaken, his family name is a variation of Schaluppe, that means shalopp in English.> A tad inscrutable. A shallop is a type of boat? Is that what the name means?

Jun-20-17		Marcelo Bruno: <nikolaas> Place and date (at least the year): Berlin 1891.

Jun-20-17		WorstPlayerEver: <Marcelo Bruno> Kind of weird; I looked at this profile few hours ago. After randomly clicking a name in an old tournament. Steinitz must have been quite bonkers during the 11th. Though he became 4th, winning to 2nd and 3th place. Schallop (last) and Steinitz settled for a draw. Very peculiar indeed.
