Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-06-04  Ribeiro: Neikirch, from Bulgaria, played the Portoroz Interzonal (1958). He finished in 15th place, having won his games against Olafsson, Szabó, Rossetto, Cardoso and Fuster.
Feb-05-07  Mibelz: Oleg Neikirch (Nejkirch, Neykirch) (1914-1985) was one of the best Bulgarian chess players. He won 6-times Bulgarian championships (1937, 1938, 1940, 1948, 1953, and 1957). He represented Bulgaria in four Chess Olympiads (1939, 1954, 1958, and 1960). He tied for 2nd-4th at Sofia 1957 (zonal), and took 15th at Portoroz 1958 (interzonal). Awarded the IM title in 1957.
Feb-05-07  nescio: Perhaps someone should mention to <chessgames.com> that Oleg Neikirch, O Nejkirch, Oleg Neikirkh and Nejkirch are all the same player and can safely be merged into one page.
Feb-05-07  Mibelz: <nescio> I have already send a message to <chessgames.com>. I would like to add an information on Neikirch. He won BUL-ch in 1937, 1938 (joint), 1940 (joint), 1943, 1948 (joint), 1953, and 1957.
Feb-05-07  nescio: <Mibelz> I see. But the biographies are not written by the administrators, but by some designnated users. You could try to contact User: benzol or User: iron maiden on their forum to see if they know who is responsible for Neikirch's biography.
Mar-08-08  brankat: It appears the duplication, or quadriplication, has been corrected :-)

  perfidious: Bobby Fischer's very first opponent in a world title qualifying event, even if the game did not presage the mighty achievements to come for the young aspirant.
Mar-08-15  gars: Happy Birthday, GM Neikirch! Tomorrow we will all be saying the same thing to Bobby Fischer.
