Born in Stolp (Słupsk, then Kingdom of Prussia, now Poland), he studied philosophy, philology and nature in Berlin (1855–1857) and Bonn (1857–1859).[1]
He won a match with Bartolomeo Forlico (11.5 : 9.5) at Venice 1858,[2] lost to Adolf Anderssen (+0 –5 =2) at Cologne 1859[3] and (+13 –27 =8) in Breslau from April to September 1859, won against Bernhard von Guretzky-Cornitz (+6 –1 =3) at Berlin 1860,[4] drew with Anderssen (+3 –3 =2) at Berlin 1864,[5] and beat Philipp Hirschfeld (+7 –0 =2) at Berlin 1865.[6]
He was an author of Der Schachkongress zu London im Jahre 1862 nebst dem Schachkongresse zu Bristol im Jahre 1861 (Berlin 1864, two parts),[7] and wrote with Gustav Neumann a well-received book on the latest chess theories, Die neueste Theorie und Praxis des Schachspiels seit dem Schachkongress zu New York i.J. 1857. Ein vollständiger Cursus der neuesten Spieleröffnungskunst (Berlin 1865).[8] He also was a co-editor of the Deutsche Schachzeitung. Suhle stopped playing to teach from 1877 to 1901, and was named a professor in 1895.[9]
