| Biographical data |
| Name: Isaacson, Charles B. |
| Also known as: Dr. Charles B. Isaacson |
| Born: 11 Dec. 1865 |
| Died: 23 Apr. 1909 |
| |
| Notes: |
| The July 1887 issue of the International Chess Magazine has 'Dr. H.B. Isaacson' of Manhattan, on p.201, but 'Dr. Charles B. Isaacson' on p.209. I presume the former is an error. |
