Mar-18-08 | | brankat: A great win against Dr.Lasker. Although this was a simul game, Ranneforth utterly demolished Lasker! Does anyone have some info about this player? |

He published "Deutsches Wochenschach" (with different other editors from 1931 to March 1943) and a chess calendar. Btw. this is a funny site where names had been translated into english:
http://www.economy-point.org/g/germ... <Max one is enough>
<Hermann of God sound>
<Carl bad>
<Jacques bad>
I guess that <Max one is enough> is Max Lange (Lange -> langen -> to be sufficient). <Hermann of God sound> is probably Hermann von Gottschall while <Carl bad> and <Jacques bad> are Carl Schlechter and Jacques Mieses. |

Nov-04-14 | | Karpova: Ranneforth tried to find a German expression for every foreign chess-related word. It is interesting, because he explains some old terms, not in use today any longer. A few examples: <Tombola>: Free choice of opponents. <Generalsecretär>: (Man) in direction of federal business. <Offizier>: Usually the pieces of the first or eighth rank, often restricted to ♘ and ♗. <Production>: Usually Simul- or Blindfold-events. <Ich liebe die deutsche Sprache, denn sie ist meine Muttersprache, aber ich ehre auch das Fremdwort [...].> (I love the German language, because she is my mother tongue, but I also honour the foreign word [...]. On his stance towards language, that he doesn't want to fanatically clean the German language from everything foreign, but tries to find German alternatives, where it appears sensible to him. And, for sure, restricted to chess only.) Heinrich Ranneforth, Fremdwörter im Schach, Deutsches Wochenschach, 21 April 1889, issues 15/16, pp. 126-134, https://archive.org/stream/deutsche... |
