About Dr. Sámuel "Samu" Jacobi, Esq.

(*) JACOBI, Dr, Samu (age 33, from Pamzel-Csch?) son of Aron Jacobi & Leni (STEINFELD) married BRACHFELD, Vilma (age 26, from Lovasbereny) daughter of Adolf Brachfeld & Mari (WEISER). Marriage Registration: 12-Jun-1878 (Budapest, Local Gov't). Note: Bride widow of Blum. Source: LDS 642975, Vol.32, 54-01.

Jogász (Bécsben végzett jogot), ügyvéd, szabadkőműves. A Pesti Sakkör tagja 1868-tól, s ekkor két év alatt két első díjat is nyer. 1871-1877-ig Pápán ügyvéd, de visszatér Pestre és fellendíti a PSK sakkéletét. 1878-ban 1-2. Fahndrich-hel, 1880-ban párosmérkőzésen nyer Vidor ellen, 1882-84 között holtversenyes első, második, majd első. - Ezután nyilván, főként ügyvédi munkája foglalja el, de megemlítendő, hogy Maróczy Géza (sakkolimpiai bajnok, 1870-1952, http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%B3czy_G%C3%A9za), mint volt tanítómestere említi meg. Jelentős szervező tevékenysége is, többek között a milleniumi verseny egyik szervezője, s 1909-ben a Budapesti Sakkör tiszteletbeli elnökévé választja. Feladványszerzőként a Feladványantológia is jelentős szerzőként mutatja be. 11 lépéses önmattját ma is idézik. Bláthy Ottó Titusszal közös feladványát (Magyar Sakkvilág, 1912), csak itt lehet bemutatni, a sakkprogramok nem tolerálják.

"Lawyer (has completed studies in Vienna), advocate, freemason. From 1868 onwards, member of the Chess Circle of Pest (CCP); he then has won within two years two events. In years 1871 – 1877 he is advocate at Pápa, but he returns to Pest and brings new life into CCP. In 1878 first/second with Fahndrich; in 1880 he wins in an event for two persons against Vidor, in years 1882 – 84 he is first ex aequo, second, then first. - Then he, of course, is mainly occupied by his business activity, but it is worth mentioning that Géza Maróczy, Olympic chess champion (1870-1952, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G% C3% A9za_Mar% C3% B3czy) he like his teacher mentions. - He is active in organizing events, amongst others he was one of the key persons in setting up the “Millineum Championship”. In 1909 he becomes elected by the CCP as a honorary president. He is also introduced by the examples creating committee as an important inventor of new examples. Even today, the example, how one can get to a “suicide mat” in 11 movements is quoted. The example he has created with Otto Titusz Bláthy (see further “Magyar Sakkvilàg”, 1912), can only be shown here; the chess programs do not tolerate it."
