Mark Moiseevich Stolberg (Russian: Марк Моисеевич Стольберг; 1922 – 16 May 1942) was a Russian chess master.
Stolberg won the Rostov-on-Don City championship in 1938. The next year he finished in second place in a Soviet master candidates tournament.[1] In 1940, Stolberg shared first place 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) where he was the youngest participant.[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 joined the Soviet Army at the end of 1940, and disappeared on 16 May 1942[5] in the battle of Malaya Zemlya (lit. "Minor Land"), waged against German troops.
