Dec-24-03  CapablancaRules: You can find a great picture of Schaya and his family in this site http://home19.inet.tele.dk/kastanie...
Jun-05-04  Notboardofchess: So Schaya was Niemzowitsch's father? Was he a strong player?
Dec-18-08  Karpova: As Aron's father, shouldn't his surname be <Niemzowitsch>? That's also Aron's surname but it was changed to <Nimzowitsch> after WW1 (a typo but Aron didn't complain). My source is Dr. J. Hannak's biography on Nimzowitsch (you'll find it in "Mein System").

Aug-15-16  Marcelo Bruno: In Byrne J. Horton's "Dictionary of Modern Chess" (1972:139) there's the following information: "His [A. Niemzowitsch's father = Schaya] was a wholesale merchant, a poet and an excellent chessplayer."
Aug-15-16  john barleycorn: <Marcelo Bruno> Capablanca in "My Chess Career" notes that Aaron Nimzowitsch's father was a strong player in his comments to

Nimzowitsch vs Capablanca, 1913

Aug-17-16  whiteshark: "<Schaie Abramowitsch Niemzowitsch> was born in 1860. He originally came from Minsk in the Pinsk province of Belarus, and he was thus Russian by birth.

A variety of different transcriptions of his first name have been seen, including Schaya, Schaye, Schaja and Sjaje. [...]

Schaie died on 6 October 1918 of a stomach disease."
