| | jessicafischerqueen: Bravo! You've made my post in only eight (8) letters, and in pleasing blue too. "Possibly fewer words use me."
That's five (5) there, as opposed to-
"Possibly I should use fewer words."
That's one (1) wasted word chopped out already.
Here is a visual aid to help others cut out unnecessary words: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jhJHoNnze... |

 | | cro777: Hi <twinlark>! The Final of the ICCF World Championship 28 will start on June, 10th. Dr Tansel Turgut is taking part. IMHO, his biography needs an update. |
|
May-07-13
 | | twinlark: <cro777>
Sure, I'd be happy to. I notice you take special interest in him. Do you know him and do you have info I could include in his bio. You should know I rely almost exclusively on mining Google to assemble bios. BTW, wasn't he a kibitzer/analyst during the Timmerman challenge? |
|
May-07-13
| | cro777: <twinlark> That would be nice. Dr Tansel Turgut and <parmetd> are good friends. You are right, Turgut participated in the Timmerman challenge, but also in Shulman, Nickel (rematch) and Umansky challenges. His user name is <chesscard>. BTW, my sources are the same as yours. |
|
May-07-13
| | twinlark: <cro777>
I've found some stuff on the net, mainly ICCF material. Would <parmetd> have some additional stuff? |

|

| | twinlark: <Alien Math>
Thanks. I've noted Gashimov's withdrawal from the GP and his replacement by Kamsky in both their bios. I've also noted a comment by an Azeri minister about government assistance to Gashimov in his bio. Let's hope this great player recovers. For a while there, the sky seemed to be the limit for this gifted young man. |

| | Alien Math: Had notes of your continual interest, wished to provide update towards, are one of several would note of further info |

I have only a vague notion of how correspondence chess world championship cycles work. I've made an attempt on Turgut's bio, but it could do with some improvement. Happy to incorporate any necessary changes that amend and round it out. |
|
May-08-13
| | cro777: Thanks <twinlark>. That's a decent bio open to possible addenda. As far as the world championship cycle is concerned, you may find useful information at http://www.chesscafe.com/text/chron...
As you can see, to become a WCC finalist, not to mention a CC World Champion, is not an easy task. That's why I think they deserve more attention. |

| | OhioChessFan: Aye Carumba, where do you find time for this stuff? You're a site saint. <She has won many district, Indian, Asian and World Youth Championships but has yet to achieve her dream> Slightly prefer a comma after Championships
There followed wins at the Indian National U8 championship in 1995, <and> the Indian U10, U12 and U15 championships in 1996. <after winning against Tuduetso Sabure in round 1.Still the rating favourite> Need a space after the period.
<In the semi final,> Hyphen after semi.
<combined with here results in the FIDE Women's Grand Prix (2011) in Nalchik and in the Ulan Bator GP> her results
<However, she suffered a shock loss > shocking
<Goofricke International Open in Kolkata in February 2> Goodricke
<She earned her third GM norm at the category VIII Elekes Memorial Grandmaster chess tournament held in Budapest in May 2002 and which she won. > ...2002, which she won.
<She was invited to Corus Wijk aan Zee Group B (2006), and her 6/13 was a better than rating performance. > Maybe citing the TPR would be better than the 6/13 if appealing to her rating going in. Barring that, maybe "and her 6/13 was better than her rating-expected performance." |
|

| | OhioChessFan: <scoring 6/13, a result that was better than expected for her rating at the time. > Well played. I didn't like my suggestion and decided to take another look at it, but you've nailed it. |

| | OhioChessFan: <They raised three children in Findlay (Hancock Co.) and Jackson (Perry Co.). He worked as an oil field pumper, until around 1915, when he got a job as an oil field superintendent in Wichita, Kansas. The family moved there, and they had a 4th child. About 1923,> "around" and "about" are pretty interchangeable, so the different uses are fine and probably preferred. Maybe preface the following with <The rest of his life is sketchy.> <Albert lived in Detroit in 1935 (according to him), > Can you cite anything at all where/when he claimed that? <whereas in 1940 he owns a small farm in Ti, Pittsburg Co., outside Oklahoma City. > Maybe "whereas by 1940 he owned a small farm....."
<He is now single and grows a long, flowing beard. > This probably should be at the end to maintain the timeline. And "sports" instead of "grows" has a little pop to it. <Probably he had moved to Oklahoma City by the time he decided to play in the 57th US Open (1956).> This is a tough one. "Maybe ....57th US Open (1956) held in that city." Or "The 57th US Open (1956) was held in Oklahoma City. Swank decided to play in what was probably then his hometown." <Where, >
