Bilguer, who was a lieutenant in the Prussian army, was sent to Berlin on a course, where he met the six gifted German players with whom he formed a group that became known as the 'Berlin Pleiades'. He resigned his commission and devoted his time to chess. He was considered to be the most brilliant of the 'Pleiades' and was a good blindfold player.[1]

To the modern chess world he is known above all as the co-author of the Handbuch des Schachspiels. He died at age 24, probably of tuberculosis, before finishing the Handbuch, but the work was completed by his friend Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa, who gave primary credit to Bilguer. The Handbuch was for many years considered the definitive reference work on the game of chess, and on openings in particular. It was a precursor to later standard opening reference works such as Modern Chess Openings and Encyclopedia of Chess Openings.

Па́уль Рудо́льф фон Би́льгер (нем. Paul Rudolph von Bilguer; 21 сентября 1815 (1815-09-21), Людвигслюст — 16 сентября 1840, Берлин) — один из сильнейших немецких шахматистов 1830-х, один из основателей Берлинской шахматной школы. Офицер. Считался едва ли не самым талантливым мастером своего времени. Задумал и начал работу над новаторским «Руководством по шахматам», не завершённым из-за ранней смерти Бильгера. Эту книгу закончил и выпустил в свет в 1843 году, спустя три года после его смерти, друг Бильгера Тассило фон Хайдебранд унд дер Лаза. Руководство Бильгера до конца XIX века было настольной книгой большинства шахматистов Европы.
