EDUARD DYCKHOFF
(born Nov-14-1880, died Mar-02-1949, 68 years old) Germany

[what is this?]
Dr. Eduard Dyckhoff was born in Augsburg. He was a German chess club activist and one of the most enthusiastic propagators of correspondence chess. In 1930, he won the Internationaler Fernschachbund (IFSB) world correspondence championship. He took second place in 1929, 1931 and 1936. He died in Bad Tolz, Germany in 1949. In 1954, a giant Dychkhoff Memorial Correspondence Tournament was organized with 1,860 chess players from 33 countries. As many as 8,856 games were played in this event. The event was won by Lothar M Schmid, who later became a grandmaster in correspondence and over-the-board play.

"Dyckhoff (1880-1949) was greatly involved as a player, writer and organiser in popularising postal chess in Germany.

IFSB champion 1930, he made several important contributions to the development of Tarrasch's Defence to the Queen's Gambit, 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3.♘c3 c5, which he played all his life."

Nov-14-07  qskakaley: Umm, doesn't this guy look like one of the Nazis in Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark? Anybody else know what I'm talkin' bout? Google image search "Ronald Lacey" and "Indiana Jones." I swear, it's the same frickin guy...lol.
Aug-01-09  myschkin: . . .

"For a correspondence chess player, life is literally an uninterrupted game of chess."

( Dr. Eduard Dyckhoff )

Nov-14-11  brankat: A star of corr. chess. All correspondence chess players owe Dr.Dyckhoff a debt of gratitude. He was also a strong OTB player: drew against Pillsbury, Keres, and Dr.Lasker (simul).

R.I.P. Dr.Dyckhoff.

Mar-01-12  wordfunph: "Who will write the history of correspondence chess for us?"

- Dr. Eduard Dyckhoff (from the book ICCF Gold 50th Jubilee Celebration)

rest in peace Dr. Dyckhoff..

Nov-13-14  ljfyffe: Dyckhoff finshed first, along with Eugen Busch,
