Biographical data
Name: Bernstein, Jacob  
Born: 24 Feb. 1885
Died: 21 Dec. 1959
 
Notes:
The American Chess Bulletin of Jun. 1909 has 'J. Berenstein' in the Rice Club Championship, but the Dec. 1909 issue (p.276) has 'J. Bernstein' in a Rice Club handicap tournament. I assume these are the same player. The Chess Weekly of 3 Apr. 1909 (p.152) also has 'J. Bernstein' playing at the Rice Club.
