  Domdaniel: I have this strong urge to photoshop Cohn's *moustaches* onto some of today's players. That great bat-winged double catenary would look great on, say, Grischuk. Or perhaps Nigel Short?

  Domdaniel: <Stonehenge> Heh. Funnily enough, I had the same idea. Once the fad for depilation fades, maybe the lady-tache will be all the rage ...

  Annie K.: Eh. Jackson Showalter beat that moustache easily. :p

  Domdaniel: <Annie> I'd give Showalter the top score for *volume* (voluminosity?) but Cohn is still ahead for defying the law of gravity.

Wax? Superglue? Will-power?

It doesn't have to. Some people just like to say their last name, which I find common.

Precisely!

Now <Petrosianic> knows the rationale for r.i.p.ing :-)

Sure. :)

Jul-18-12  Karpova: According to the '(Neue) Wiener Schachzeitung' 1913, page 226, Wilhelm Cohn died due to a heart disease.
Feb-06-16  TheFocus: Happy birthday, Wilhelm <I Am the Walrus> Cohn.

That man is stash-sporting.

Dec-01-16  The Kings Domain: DalĂ­ had nothing on this guy.
Feb-06-19  pazzed paun: Looks like a longhorn cattle
He could gore an opponent to death
Feb-06-20  Nosnibor: Was he the brother of Eric Cohn as apparently stated by Schorries? This seems unlikely because of the 25 year gap in there ages.
Mar-16-21  Nosnibor: W.Cohn finished first in one or the two tournaments held in 1896 to celebrate the 10th year of the Official German Chess Association. There are none of his games from that event here. Apparently the other official event was won by R. H. Barnes of Frankfort.
