| May-05-05 | | Mate Hunter: This game is the same:
K Burger vs Sweiburg
K Burger vs Zweiburg
Which is the real name?
Sweiburg or Zweiburg? |
|
| May-05-05 | | notsodeepthought: Or, to rephrase the question, given that S(Z?)weiburg won that game:
Which is the right Burger topping? |
|
| Mar-23-06 | | Chess Classics: Does K Burger stand for Krusty Burger? :-)

| Jul-26-06 | | LivBlockade: At a tournament years ago, someone told me to take a look at Mr. Burger's scoresheet. I was very surprised to see that he used figurine algebraic notation! |

|
| Jul-26-06 | | NakoSonorense: I thought it was Karl's Jr. Is it another branch or what? |
|
| Feb-19-07 | | technical draw: This is the original Chess Burger. |

 | | stoy: Was not Karl Burger a NYC area physician? I remember him from the 1960s. I recall seeing him at the Marshall CC. |
|
| Apr-18-08 | | Strongest Force: You are right, stoy. My predominant memory of him is taking a bunch of masters in two cars to the best pizza place in NYC at the time; it was a hangout of mine that i told him about. |

 | | al wazir: K. Burger has an interesting career trajectory: active for over 60 years; the database contains 30 games for the first 30 years, almost all played in the U.S.; over 300 in the next 30 years, mostly in Europe; and most of his games in the past ten years have been Internet chess. Is it possible that there is more than one K. Burger? |
|
| Nov-01-08 | | Granny O Doul: <al wazir> He was wheelchair-bound in his later years (effects of diabetes). He went to Europe because he had made a lot of money as a doctor and it was time to start spending it. |

| May-14-10 | | myschkin: . . .
<Cheapo> a phrase coined by U.S. Master Dr. Karl Burger, who has won a large percentage of his games by such a maneuver; a move which threatens something so obvious that only an idiot would fall for it, and he does. (source: http://www.edcollins.com/chess/glos...) |

| Mar-16-16 | | luftforlife: From the Augusta Chronicle, March 25, 1998:
"Today, I have a very great hatred of salami." -- IM Karl Burger, M.D. To learn just why Burger came to hate salami, see "Chess Monk (Salami Drippings on a Chessboard)": http://chronicle.augusta.com/storie... |

|
| Dec-06-17 | | whiteshark: A Burger worth noting. |
|
| Jun-02-18 | | Agferna: Was it necessary for his bio to say he took last place in a tournament? A weak tournament result is something incidental that could happen for a multitude of reasons, not necessarily related to chess. |
|
| Jun-02-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <Agferna> Yes, seems like a nothingburger. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | wordfunph: from Chess Life 1982 October:
Karl Burger, who has been a master for many years, recently decided to give up his job so that he can devote all of his time to chess and achieving the GM title. He's a New York medical doctor who gave up his private practice after realizing that rating points were more valuable to him than money - at least in the short run. |
