Old talk

The original article under this title read, in full:

Baron Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa (1818-1899), generally known as von der Lasa, was a leading Prussian chess master.

He travelled widely, and collected about all known chess books at the time to his chess library.

I consider that article a stub, although not so labeled, and have treated it accordingly.J S Ayer 21:21, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In the course of tracking down the current location of the Lasa Chess Library I have found dozens of transcriptions of the previous state of this article on other websites. I wonder whether this will also be copied.J S Ayer 04:11, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the Handbuch des Schachspiels description to it's own article, so I can link to it from other articles. Also I think it makes good sense to have it in it's own article, after all Von der Lasa isn't even the only author of the book. --CygnusPius 21:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Diplomacy

It says that he retired from diplomacy in 1864, but he was actually appointed an official envoy of Prussia to Denmark right after the Second Schleswig War. This brought him to Copenhagen, where he was an active part of starting the Copenhagen Chess Club of 1865. There are several Danish and German sources of this, e.g. Letter from Bismarck to v. Heydebrand und der Lasa, Prussian envoy in Copenhagen. Feynman (talk) 08:02, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
