BERNHARD GREGORY
(born Apr-10-1879, died Feb-02-1939, 59 years old) Estonia (federation/nationality Germany)

[what is this?]

Bernhard Gregory was born in 1879 in Reval (now Tallinn), Estonia. He moved to Munich in 1898, where he started to study chemistry then moved to Berlin, where he went on studying. He married Ida Hempel (from Leipzig, 18 years old at that time) on September 2, 1902 in London. Together, they had two daughters (Iselin (born in 1903, died in 2001) and Maud Dolly in 1905. Bernhard and Ida split up in 1914 and she moved back to Leipzig with their two daughters, while Bernhard remained in Berlin (and sometimes visited Reval), where he became a Master. The divorce took place in 1931; Bernhard married for the second time (Helene, nee Walsleben, they had no children) and he obtained German citizenship in 1932.

This is really Gregory Bernhard However, the first and last name are reversed on that player. Poor Bernhard Gregory :-(

  An Englishman: Good Evening: So who is this guy?
May-09-06  Calli: <An Englishman> Bernhard Gregory was born in Estonia but moved to Germany and played most of his chess there. Not sure what happened to him after 1921.

I did submit corrections to <chessgames> but nothing has happened so far. To be clear, "Benhard Gregory" and "Gregory Bernhard" should be combined as Bernhard Gregory.

Jul-22-07  Mibelz: Benhard is not correct name. Actually his name is Bernhard. He and Gregory Bernhard is the same person.

It is always so weird to learn about the existence of such players. I am always like:

<How have I never ever heard about him, or if I did hear about, how did I forget without any trace of recollections even when reading the player's bio?>

Sometimes, when I am replaying games of such players, shards of memories appear. Hopefully this will happen in the case of Mr. Gregory.
