Ignatz Hermann Korner

 

This book was written by Ignaz Hermann Korner (link in German), the longtime president of Hakoah in Vienna, Austria. Herbert Halsegger, who is researching and is interested in the Jewish players and chess club of Hakoah in Graz, Austria, notes in an email to us, Korner organized the international tournament in Vienna in 1928, where many strong Jewish players played, as reported in the Wiener Schach-Zeitung (No. 5, 1928, pp. 69ff):  

This is especially interesting for chess in Palestine and Israel since, as Halsegger notes, the players included Wolf, Beutum, and Glass, who later emigrated to Palestine, as did Korner himself, in 1938.
