1. Kupfer vs Silski 1-0101881WalkaC41 Philidor Defense

Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-29-24  BarakSaltz: "Deutsche Schachzeitung" v.47 n.4 Apr. 1892 p. 119 indicates Carl Kupfer vs. Rathsherr (councilman, with the old orthography of "Rath" rather than "Rat") Silski.

The article indicated there being a booklet produced by R. Puhze publishing house featuring 30 selected games from Carl Kupfer.

In German, there has been some history of regional/stylistic discrepancy regarding C/K as a first letter in various names. Carl/Karl and Curt/Kurt would be good examples.

Mar-29-24  BarakSaltz: The book has the name spelled Carl Kupffer.
Mar-30-24  BarakSaltz: Kupffer appears to have written for the "Sankt Petersburger Herold".
Mar-30-24  BarakSaltz: The "Rigasche Rundschau" had a chess columnist ca. 1925-1935 designated as K.G. Kupffer.
Mar-30-24  BarakSaltz: The "Rigaer Chronik" section of the Feb. 1 1926 "Rigasche Rundschau" indicates the chess personality Karl Gustav Kupffer as having been born in Marienburg in 1860 and having studied and taught history.
