Aug-18-07  whiteshark: There is an article

<KURZE ERINNERUNG AN DIE SCHACHFAMILIE DÖRY> by Michael Ehn and Ernst Strouhal

in <Karl - <Die Kulturelle Schachzeitung>> issue 2004/04

Aug-18-07  whiteshark: <vonKrolock> I've found some links referring to a Baron <Ludwig Döry>. A culture-historican? Maybe identical?
Aug-18-07  vonKrolock: <whiteshark> Ladislau Baron Döry was also known as <Konzertpianist und Komponist>. The article in "Karl" presents some facts on his destiny after 1938?! - It seems that some doubts are persisting (maybe it could roud a search like we started on Pitschak in User: Gypsy
Aug-18-07  whiteshark: Let's have a look.
But I don't have this a.m. 'Karl' article.

Aug-18-07  whiteshark: Vienna 1928 games of <von Döry> posted: +0 =10 -3
Aug-18-07  Karpova: He appeared in Edward Winter's chess notes today:
http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...

He was sentenced to death by the Nazis but it's not clear if he survived the war or not. A picture can be found on this page:
http://de.doew.braintrust.at/m18sm8...

Aug-19-07  Gejewe: <Karpova>
The link you give has some text in German : hingerichtet means executed. Which sadly answers your question if he survived the war.
Aug-19-07  Karpova: <Gejewe>
That's the problem. The link with the picture is the source Winter cites when speaking about Döry's death during WWII but The Oxford Companion to Chess claims he was rescued from prison by the Allies in 1945 and Jeremy Gaige indicates that he was still alive in 1947.
Aug-19-07  Calli: In fact, there were two major tournaments in Vienna in 1928:

12th Trebitsch Memorial- Grunfeld, Takacs 6.5; Hoenlinger, Kmoch, Lokvenc, Tartakower 6; A. Becker 4.5; E. Steiner ,Ladislaus von Döry 4; Hans Muller 3, Sigmund Beutum 2.5

Sportklub Hakoah- Reti 10.5; Becker, Bernhard Lichtenstein. Spielmann, Tartakower 8.5; Kmoch 8; Grunfeld 7.5; Hans Muller 6.5; Ladislaus von Döry Fritz Igel, Takacs 5; Eduard Glass 3.5; Sigmund Beutum, Sigfried Wolf 3

With many of the same players in both events, it would not surprise if game scores are not correctly assigned. On the other hand, many games are probably just labeled Vienna 1928 without a specific tournament.

Aug-20-07  Charles A Ward: Sorry to get off the subject...But I have been searching alot with no results....Is there a book on the Dory Defence,or any text on it? thank you

Aug-22-07  vonKrolock: Appearing on-line today in an article by S. Bücker <" Ahead of his Time: Ladislaus Baron Döry">. Presents a game played by him in 1949 <!> - corrects the spelling of his complete name :<Ladislaus Baron Döry von Jobaháza> http://www.chesscafe.com/kaissiber/...
Aug-22-07  whiteshark: Wow, <vonKrolock> unbelievable - riddle solwed within a week, the way, however, remain a miracle to me.....
Aug-24-07  Karpova: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...

<It states that Baron Döry was sentenced to death for sedition in Berlin on 7 October 1943. His hands bound, he spent 125 days in a death cell at Plötzensee. Without abrogation of his capital sentence, he was subsequently taken to other prisons (Brandenburg and Straubing), and on 1 May 1945 he was released by American troops.>

Sep-19-11  whiteshark: <born 1897> And the Best of British Luck to you, Lad.
Dec-15-13  Karpova: Reminiscences by Georg Marco:

First the father, <k. u. k. Kämmerer, Rittmeister> Nikolaus Baron Döry v. Jobahaza was a <Grand Seigneur> in the most noble sense of the word and yet unaffectedly amicable. He was also a strong chessplayer *. He has three sons and three daughters.

His oldest son is Andor Baron Döry v. Jobahaza, who enlisted immediatly after the outbreak of the war and is currently a <k. u. k. Fähnrich in der 2. Maschinengewehr-Abteilung des Husaren-Regiments Nr. 5>. In 1912/1913, he came in 2nd in a tournament at his <Akademischen Gymnasiums> after play-off (11 rounds, organised by Nicolaus Baron Döry, in the Vienna Chess Club, December 22 to 24, 1912):

1. Kolisch 10.0
2. Baron Andor Döry 10.0
3. Elias 8.5
4. Kulka 8.0
5. Kollmann 7.0
6. Brück 5.5
7. Kurzmann 5.5

These were the prize-winners (also play-off between Brück and Kurzmann). Then followed

8. Klein 5.0
9. Blaustein 3.5
10. Bennisch 2.0
11. Röger 1.0
12. Alma 0.0

The second youngest son is Ladislaus Baron Döry v. Jobahaza, also a passionate chessplayer and chess composer.

Feb-10-19  Jean Defuse: ...

'The magazine Schachspiegel, 1947, page 124, had published a moving small story “Der Schachspieler in der Todeszelle.” Here we see Döry alone in the death cell, his hands bound. Nevertheless, he has found a way to play chess against himself, lying on the floor, with the help of some soap-constructed pieces. A fellow sufferer is brought in, also a chessplayer. <After a hard-fought game, which ends in a draw, Döry’s opponent (whose name is given as “Petzold” was this Kurt Petzold??) is executed the next morning.> Ladislaus Döry had his hands bound for 125 days. Without abrogation of his sentence of death, Döry was brought to other prisons (Brandenburg, Straubing). On May 1, 1945 he was released from prison by American troops.'

(Stefan Bücker - Over the Horizons - Ahead of his Time: Ladislaus Baron Döry.)

From the 'Sport Chronicle of the City Landshut' 1954:

'Den Schachmeister-Wettkampf konnte Baron Ladislaus Döry gegen Max Listl siegreich für sich entscheiden.'

http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/a... mentions his father Nikolaus and his older brother Andor. It does look like László = Ladislaus.
