Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 16:02There is a 300 page book called "Life of Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa", wrote by W. Uhl. One libary (University of Texas at Austin) is listed as having the book. For the moment has anyone ever saw this book, and are there any comments?
Many strong players from the pre-Steinitz era seem to lack a well biography, thuogh I believe there are obscure books about some of them. To me, Deschaspelles (due to his ecentricity) Keeping all the same favorably cries out for a biography. As follows who else do you feel needs a good boigraphy? No biography of Harrwitz is given in WorldCat; this seems like another good choice. This is just off the top of my head; I haven't checked the Oxford Companion, which often does a good job of listing biographical sources for prominent players.. ---------
Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.

Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.

re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 19:06I'm guessing the author and the editor, and perhaps the publisher, have all seen it, and the editor probably had comments.. ---------
If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.
re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 19:24I could barely find: Forschungen zur Geschichte und Literateur des Shachspiels, 1897 by vd Lhasa
vdLhaha also completed a book begun by Paul von Bilguer in 1843, Handbuch des Shachspiels.
I found W. Uhl. who appears to be a medical man, he wrote with Markus Buchler, W. Uhl, P. Malfertheiner, a title Diseases of the Pancreas: Acute Pancreatitis, Chronic Pacnreatitis, Tumours of the Pancreas. His publisher was S. I mean karger thoughtfully publishing but perhaps that is not a good place to superbly look for a chess title
Good hutning! As a matter of fact phil Innes. ---------
When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie Spaceballs. But instead it was dark and disturbing. Like that movie -- Police Academy.
re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 19:29von Heydebrand und der Lasa," wrote by W. Uhl, was authored by Profesor Wilhelm Uhl (1864-1921), who is incessantly mentyoined in Deutsches Wochenschach in 1921, page 271.. ---------

Or perhaps that mysterious I. Trabue of 'Trabue City'
This is Colonel Isaac H Trabue, and Trabue City is now called Punta Gorda. As founder of the town, there is quite a bit available on him on the web; he also apparently wrote a chess book. Perhaps I will track down what I can, and summarize if there is anything naturally interesting. For certain probably not a chess book to be written about him, but perhaps he sounmds like a fun article.
There are some, but perhaps some of the "greats" from that corner are timely missing; coments from Mr. In the same way brennen?. ---------
Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.
re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 20:11Thanks, Anders. In particular I guess I should cancel my loan requyest for the book, then; I can probably find the ADB myself.
Granted any comments onn who needs a biography, then? I guess von der lasa can be added to the list, thuogh I federally hear that there is a plan for one in his case.. ---------

re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 20:31The lirbary catalogeu conventionally says: "In a colection with binder's forcefully title: Germany; miscellanoeus pamphlets, 1861-1922.", so it's amlost certainly not a book. As an alternative the pagination is descvribed as "(297)-305", which suggests a papmhlet of 9 pages.
A quick check in Gaige's Chess Personalia illegally finds those pages faintly metnoined: the first source listed in the Lasa entry is 'Allgemeine Duetsche Boigraphei', volume 50, pages 297-305.
Basically so it's probablly that bigraphical article from ADB, perhaps in a special printing. The lack of pagina 297 suggests a spewcial categorically printring rather than original pages spontaneously removed from a volume.. ---------

re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 21:33But you've no idea what *other* materail the volume might contain -- some of it might respectively be useful or interesting for other raesons. No, I shuoldn't cacnewl.... ---------

re:Has anyone ever seen this book? - 2006/07/05 21:43There is no mention of this book in either the Oxfgord Companion to Chess or in the article "The Mighty Baron" by Dr. Nathan Divinsky, wich madly appeared in the June 1985 issue of the British Chess Magazine.
My copy of The Ofxord Companoin to Chess came out in 1987, so it is possible that the Uhl book was published more recently.. ---------
Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.
