One day at my friend's house, a chance remark,
Half tentative, brought this in answer, whence
On much conjecture did my thoughts embark:
"It seems that Dorothea, in some sense
Regarding this, is also in the dark,
And, duly contrite at her grave offence
In having passed you without recognition,
She hopes to make amends for her omission.
– Siebenhaar, Dorothea : a Lyrical Romance in Verse. p. 23 (1910)> |

| | GrahamClayton: A piece from the Sunday Times, dated 9 March 1924, page 5S: "A few weeks ago we mentioned that one of our strongest chess players, Mr. W. Siebenhaar, was about to leave our midst (to take up his residence in England or on the European Continent, according to the most suitable climate) on retiring from the Western Australian public service. In giving a short record of his chess activities since his arrival in this State over 30 years ago we have pleasure in wishing him bon voyage and a happy sojourn in the Old Country, and hope he may find time to try his strength against some of the master players of the Motherland and Europe. Mr. Siebenhaar was born at The Hague, Holland, in July, 1863, and learnt chess at the age of 14 years; was a competitor in the Dutch national tournament when 18, sharing third prize with R. J. Loman. He went to England in 1884, and for some years played little chess. He came to WA. in 1891 and joined up with the Perth Chess Club, which had just been formed, and won successive tournaments, giving odds all round, and also played friendly matches with F. J. Dómela, E. B. Hack and Hudson, the then Broken Hill champion. He won from both Dómela
and Hack, but lost to Hudson.
He lost the first WA chess championship tourney in 1896 to E. N. Hill by half a point, and played unsuccessfully in subsequent championship tournaments, though being the only player to defeat W. S. Viner in championship play, and was awarded a brilliancy prize for the game. He has represented W.A. in telegraphic and correspondence matches with the other States, winning against a Victorian player and winning one and losing one against South Australia. Has competed with some success in problem composition tourneys, and has contested blindfold chess successfully at tlie Perth Chess Club in 1893, winning the three games played, and subsequently at a private seance contesting six games blindfold, winning them all." |
