Löwy writes:
The many friends and admirers of the American matador lived in continuous fear for his health, seeing that he lost one game after another. I too prepared myself, when playing over the games, to find that Marshall might soon suffer a mild stroke or something similar. So imagine my great amazement, when not Marshall, but Dr Tarrasch was struck by influenza!

Etc.

Now I've found a reference for the quote in <Wiener Schachzeitung 1905>, too http://books.google.de/books?q=wien..., but w/o context.

Excluding unusual longevity in the family genes, both must have a dod by now.

I found mention of another <Loewy, Leopold> in Vienna:

<11.2.2 Celestial Mechanics

Moritz Loewy was born on the 15th April 1833 in Vienna, Austria of Jewish parents, Leopold Loewy and his wife Caroline Herzel, both natives of neigbouring Slovakia. ...>

Leopold Loewy

... a chessmaster of Vienna, Austria, in the belief that it would keep him more fit for chess, never wore an overcoat in sixty-two years.

OK, we have the following:

Das abgelehnte Königsgambit-Turnier im Wiener Schach-Klub.

Ende Mai 1904 stellte mir Prof. J. L. Rice anläßlich meiner Tour nee nach Cambridge-Springs 200 Dollars (= 1000 Kronen) zur Ver fügung für ein Turnier mit dem Thema

1. e2 — e4 e7 — e5 2. f 2 — f 4 Lf8 — c5.

[...]

Die Idee fand bei den Wiener Spielern und auch auswärts großen Anklang. So z. B. schreibt M. H. in den „Hamburger Nachrichten":

Das Turnier begann am 29. November v. J. in Wien unter den Auspizien des Wiener Schach-Klubs, welcher zur Ermunterung auswärtiger Kräfte noch 500 Kronen beisteuerte. Die Besetzung war glänzend: Albin (der Unverwüstliche), Marco, Maröczy, Schlechter und Heinrich Wolf, dann A. Neumann, der in Koburg neugebackene Meister, M. Vidmar, sein ebenbürtiger Rivale im Koburger Turnier, Leop. Löwy und Dr. J. Periis, zwei formidable Kräfte, die in stark besetzten Lokalturnieren wiederholt erste Preise errungen hatten und endlich eine neue sehr achtbare Größe Leopold Löwy II, der zur Unterscheidung vom Löwen Nr. I unter dem Namen Müller spielte. Der ungarische Champion Maröczy traf erst am 11. Dezember in Wien ein und absolvirte alle Partien in raschestem Tempo, indem er täglich 1 Partie spielte, während die übrigen Spieler nur 2 Runden in der Woche absolvirten und erst nach Maröczys Abreise (3. Januar d. J.) 3 Gänge wöchentlich machten.>

The idea came with the Viennese players and also abroad Appeal. [...]

WSZ v8 N1 (Jan 1905) p9-10

As for the players, it turns out that Müller was a pseudonym used to distinguish two similarly named players, one from Vienna, the other presumably from Budapest (primary source still needed).

WSZ also used the distinction <Löwy I> vs <Löwy II> which I guess caused people to mistakenly assume Sr./Jr. which assembling the modern databases.

The above also reveals that a lot of scheduling machinations was involved with Maroczy - and I would assume <CG> has the wrong date on many of his games.

Not that it really matters much, but the inaccuracy should be noted somewhere.

Another interesting fact not mentioned in the intro's on <CG> is the inspiration of the American Rice Tournament on the concept (Vienna (1903)'s inception is credited to an effort to revive interest w/o mention of Rice).

E.g. G85 is a 1897/98 <Löwy,L--Wolf,S.R. (25) 1-0>
