JAN DOBRUSKY
(born Aug-28-1853, died May-31-1907, 53 years old)

[what is this?]

Dr Jan Dobruský was an advocate and he is considered as one of the fathers of the Bohemian school, together with Josef Pospíšil and Antonín König. 250 of his compositions, mostly direct mates in three moves or more, are presented with an introduction by Pospíšil in Šachové úlohy (1907).

Dobruský was the editor of the chess column of Světozor from 1874 till 1879, and that of Humoristické listy from 1874 till 1884. He was also an early editor of the magazine Časopis českých šachistů (1906-07).

<Èasopis èeských šachistù> to <Časopis českých šachistů>

<Pospíšil> to <Josef Pospíšil>

<Konig> to <Antonin König>

I have also added and changed a few more things, and I deleted an invalid link.

Happy birthday, Dr Dobruský!

Aug-28-15  thomastonk: The game that <GrahamClayton> submitted was played in Prague 1888, and White was the famous Bohuslav Schnirch (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohus...). I changed year and site and I'll submit a correction slip for the name.
