Biographical data
Name: Adam, Edmund  
   Also known as: Dr. Adam
Born: 18 May 1894
Died: 19 Jan. 1958
 
Notes:
Gaige has date of death 19-01-1958, as does the Deutsche Schachzeitung of 1958 (p.76) and Schach Echo of 5 Feb. 1958 (inside front cover); the chessgames.com page for Edmund Adam has date of death 18-01-1958 at the top of the page, but 19-01-1858 in the Kibbitzing below. The Frankfurt 1923 tournament book has 'D. Adam' but this means Dr. Adam (note that it also has 'D. Thoenes' and he was also a 'Dr.').
