When the next meeting took place in the [[Schützenhaus]] on 15 July 1879, sixty-two clubs had become member of the chess federation. [[Hofrat]] [[Rudolf von Gottschall]] became Chairman and [[Hermann Zwanziger]] the General Secretary. Twelve players participated in the master tournament of Leipzig 1879.<ref>[http://www.endgame.nl/dsb.htm Deutschen Schachkongresse<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111204043026/http://www.endgame.nl/dsb.htm |date=December 4, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ballo.de/dsb_1__teil.htm |title=DSB 1.
