Mark Stolberg
Mark Moiseevich Stolberg (1922 in Rostov-on-Don – 1942 in Novorossiysk) was a Russian chess master.
Stolberg won the Rostov-on-Don City championship in 1938. The next year he took second in a Soviet master candidates tournament.[1] In 1940, Stolberg shared first with Eduard Gerstenfeld in Kiev (the 12th USSR-ch semi-final),[2] and tied for 13-16th in Moscow (the 12th USSR Chess Championship won jointly by Andor Lilienthal and Igor Bondarevsky).[3] In June 1941, Stolberg was in fourth place in Rostov-on-Don (the 13th USSR-ch semi-final), when the German attack on the Soviet Union interrupted the event.[4]
Stolberg entered the Soviet Army at the end of 1940, and disappeared on 16 May 1942 in the battle of Malaya Zemlya (lit. "Minor Land"), a part of Novorossiysk on Russia's Black Sea coast against German troops.
His brother Vladimir Stolberg also served in the army, fortunately he had the privilege of making it back.
