| Notes: |
| Di Felice has 'Warburg, R.' in Chess Results, 1936-1940 (p.150), as does Urcan in his biography of Julius Finn (p.204) and the American Chess Bulletin of Dec. 1909 (p.276). Many sources have 'R.G. Wahrburg' or 'R. Wahrburg'; the Newark Sunday Call of 15 Dec. 1912 (p.III-10) has 'Richard Wahrburg'. I am guessing that all of these are I am guessing that all of these are Richard G. Wahrburg. However, there was also a Richard M. Wahrburg (Chess Review, Aug. 1935, p.175). Are these the same? |
