Schlage, with Alexander Alekhine and Efim Bogoljubow, trained the German national team for 3rd unofficial Chess Olympiad at Munich 1936. In August 1939, he trained the best young German players (Klaus Junge (15 years old), Wolfgang Unzicker (14), Edith Keller (17), Karl Krbavic (17), Rudolf Kunath (15), etc.) in Fürstenwalde (Jugendschachwoche).
In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the HAL 9000 supercomputer is shown soundly defeating the astronaut Frank Poole in a game of chess. The board position and final moves shown replicate a tournament game Schlage won in 1910.
