 | | Fusilli: <WhiteRook48: it's hard to believe this guy lived so long!!> Yeah, hard to believe for a grandmaster. GMs lead hard lives, most of them endemically short of money. For their life expectancy during the 20th century, take world champions: Capablanca and Alekhine were born 20 or fewer years earlier than Paoli and died in their 50s. Botvinnik lived 82 years and Smyslov is 88 this year, but Tal and Petrosian died in their fifties. Spassky is in his seventies but Fischer passed at 64. Karpov, Kasparov, etc. were born in the second half of the twentieth century, way later than Paoli... they are subject to much better life expectancies than their predecessors. |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: I actually met Paoli in my travels while in the military ... He passed away about 10 years ago, I believe. |
|

 | | FSR: His bio says he died December 15, 2005. |

| Jun-28-11 | | Nina Myers: <LIFE Master AJ: <He passed away about 10 years ago, I believe.>> Close enough. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Sorry! I was going from memory alone.
Its funny sometimes how life turns out.
When I was in the military, (to be honest); I pretty much despised my job. Constant movement, the war-games were very vigorous, I had to put up with crap from higher-ranked people and lower-ranked people ... I could go on and on and on. I really hated most of it. (Of course, all I wanted to do was play chess!) In retrospect, things were not so bad. I got to do a lot of interesting things. I traveled all over Europe, all on the Air Force's dime. (I am sure I have been to most of the major air bases in Europe.) I went to chess clubs and chess tournaments in France, Italy, Spain, etc. (It was during these travels I met Paoli.) I even got to watch (parts of) several international tournaments. I even once got Garry Kasparov's autograph at a tournament, although I have since managaed to lose the book with his signature. (I used to take it everywhere, and show it to anyone that I met.) So unless I win the lottery or something equally dramatic, (And I don't even buy lottery tickets anymore, I consider them a waste of money.); I will never get the opportunity to travel to Europe again. |

| Nov-07-16 | | diagonal: Enrico Paoli has also been the driving force behind the legendary <Reggio Emilia> chess tournament series: <Fifty-four editions annually in a row for a closed invitation tournament is amazing, all in the little town of Reggio Emilia.After two Reggio Prequels, the "Torneo di Capodanno" was created in 1958, and built on the enthusiasm of Enrico Paoli (1908-2005), GM honoris causa. The name was due to the fact that it starts immediately after Christmas to end in the day of Epiphany. The peak was in 1991/92 when for the thirty-fourth tournament, the organisers managed to reach category 18 (average of Elo 2676), the strongest chess event at that time won by Vishy Anand ahead of joint Boris Gelfand and Garry Kasparov. World Champions Kasparov, Spassky, Smyslov all did play, but did not win!> http://www.chessdiagonals.ch/431660... |

 | | thegoodanarchist: What was the secret to his longevity?
I imagine that he had an agreeable wife and that he drank a glass of red wine every evening. |
|
| Jan-13-18 | | Marmot PFL: Mediterranean diet. Olive oil delivers healthy monounsaturated fats and plant compounds called polyphenols. |
|
| Jan-13-18 | | Sularus: longevity + survived two world wars. wow! RIP. |

Good news. Who can handle 5 liters of olive oil per day? |

| Jan-09-19 | | SkySports: Ho got the onorary GM title in 1996. We should add this to the biography... |

 | | VasuGina: The last Rating as mentioned, (1920) looks v. low for this talented player who has won so many prizes for composition, etc. This 1920 rating needs to be checked and corrected. |
|
Jan-30-22
 | | Stonehenge: If there's a rating floor for Grandmasters then it should be 2300 perhaps as in E Paoli vs E Bozzali, 2003. If there isn't then it's probably correct, see https://www.olimpbase.org/Elo/playe.... |
