| Biographical data |
| Name: Chajes, Oscar |
| Born: 14 Dec. 1873 |
| Died: 28 Feb. 1928 |
| |
| Notes: |
| I am assuming that the 'L. Chages' playing for Chicago against Brooklyn in 1905, as reported in Lasker's Chess Magazine of June 1905 (p.49) is actually Oscar Chajes. The mis-spelling 'Chages' appears occasionally afterwards, e.g., in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of 13 Jan. 1918 (sporting section, p.2). |
