Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-24-06  Mibelz: Friedrich Ludwig Amelung (23 March 1942 - 21 March 1909) was an Estonian chess player, composer and journalist. He lived in Dorpat (now Tartu), Estonia, and then in Riga, Latvia.
Aug-04-08  whiteshark: "Friedrich Ludwig Amelung
(born March 11, 1842; died March 9, 1909) was a Latvian chess player and author who edited the chess column of the Riga newspaper Düna-Zeitung. He studied philosophy and chemistry at the University of Dorpat from 1862 to 1879, and later became a private teacher and director of a mirror factory."

<Mibelz> There is a discrepancy regarding the dates of birth and death and the nationality. Can you give your source, please?

May-19-14  Karpova: The 'Wiener Schachzeitung' (June 1909, p. 180) also gives * <11 March 1842> and + <9 March 1909>. The discrepancy is probably due to Julian (March 11, March 9) and Gregorian (March 24, March 22) calender.
