Georg Rotlewi had a brief and at times brilliant, but short, chess career from 1907-1911. There is talk of his being included in a book to be published in Germany, in German, about some of the lesser know players of this era with a possible English translation to follow. Play through the game below and experience some of his genius that was cut short by a nervous disorder.
