S. R. Wolf and the Trebitsch Memorial Tournament

Credit: see below

We have often mentioned in this blog the chess player S. R. Wolf. We pointed out that he was one of the "old timers" in the Vienna Chess Club. Here is the report of his performance - found by our frequent correspondent, Herbert Halsegger - of Wolf's performance in the Trebitsch memorial tournament, 1926. It was reported in the Wiener Schach-Zeitung in March 1926 (no. 5, p. 69). Wolf came in sixth, with 6/11, quite a credible score. Spielmann was the winner. 

P. S. 

The journal is of course the same journal as the Wiener Schachzeitung. The spelling was changed from one word to two in 1908. 

Glass and Salinger

 

Mr. Halsegger also adds that the Wiener Schach-Zeitung of 1938 also reports (No. 3, 22 January, p. 1) that Glass has played in the 20th Leopold Trebitsch tournament, and that (1938, p. 50) Dr. A. Salinger of Jerusalem, Palestine, is playing in the WSZ's correspondence tournament. It is interesting that Glass did not fear to return to a trip to Austria in 1938!
