11th DSB Kongress
Cologne, Germany, 1898.08.01 - 1898.08.19
Only 48 games and 4 fragments are available of the 120 actually played. Max Lange, the chairman of the German Chess Association, was entrusted with the score-sheets to prepare a book on the tournament. Mr. Lange lost the score-sheets and a book was never done on this tournament until 1997, when Vlastimil Fiala was able to gather all the known games. Participants in order of finish were: Amos Burn, Rudolf Rezso Charousek, Mikhail Chigorin, Wilhelm Cohn, Wilhelm Steinitz, Carl Schlechter, Jackson Whipps Showalter, Johann Nepomuk Berger, David Janowski, Ignatz Von Popiel, Emmanuel Schiffers, Hermann Von Gottschall, Adolf Albin, Arved Heinrichsen, Alexander Fritz, and Emil Schallopp. 1.Burn X = = 1 1 = 0 = 1 = 1 1 1 1 1 1 11.5
