| Jul-23-07 | | vonKrolock: In 1992, Iluska Simonsen wrote in the "Jornal do Brasil": quote <"JOÃO DE SOUZA MENDES JUNIOR, NASCIDO NA ILHA DOS AÇORES, PORTUGAL, EM 23/06/1892, É PROVAVELMENTE, AINDA HOJE O JOGADOR MAIS LAUREADO EM CERTAMES NACIONAIS, O MAIOR DOS CAMPEÕES BRASILEIROS E, SEM COMPARAÇÃO O MAIS PERTINAZ E DEDICADO. DESDE SUA 1ª PARTICIPAÇÃO EM CAMPEONATOS BRASILEIROS ABSOLUTOS, NO DISTANTE ANO DE 1927, ATÉ A SUA ÚLTIMA APARIÇÃO EM 1967, ELE FEZ E FOI EM GRANDE MEDIDA A PRÓPRIA HISTÓRIA DO XADREZ BRASILEIRO. ALÉM DE SEU FENOMENAL RECORDE - EM 29 ATUAÇÕES EM BRASILEIROS, ELE SAGROU-SE CAMPEÃO 7 VEZES, FOI VICE OUTRAS 3 E FICOU EM 3º EM 5 OCASIÕES. - SOUZA MENDES PROTAGONIZOU ALGUNS FEITOS INESQUECÍVEIS, COMO SER VICE-CAMPEÃO EM 1967, AOS 73 ANOS DE IDADE, E SENO SUPERADO SOMENTE POR UM MENINO DE 13 ANOS, CHAMADO POR TODOS DE "MEQUINHO". MENDES VENCEU O ENCONTRO INDIVIDUAL, IMPONDO A MEQUINHO SUA ÚNICA DERROTA NA COMPETIÇÃO! SOUZA MENDES FALECEU NO DIA 10/07/1969" > to be translated |

JOÃO DE SOUZA MENDES JUNIOR, BORN IN THE ISLAND OF THE AÇORES, PORTUGAL, IN 23/06/1892, IS PROBABLY, STILL TODAY THE MOST HONORED PLAYER IN NATIONAL CERTAMES, THE GREATER OF BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONS AND THE MOST PERTINACIOUS AND DEDICATED WITHOUT COMPARISON. SINCE HIS 1ª PARTICIPATION IN ABSOLUTE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS, IN THE DISTANT YEAR OF 1927, UNTIL ITS LAST APPEARANCE IN 1967, IT MADE AND IN GREAT WAS MEASURED THE PROPER HISTORY OF THE BRAZILIAN CHESS. BEYOND HIS FENOMENAL RECORD - IN 29 PERFORMANCES IN BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS HE WON 7 TIMES, OTHERS HE WAS 2ND IN 3 AND 3º IN 5 OCCASIONS. - SOUZA MENDES CARRIED OUT SOME FACTS UNFORGETABLE, AS TO BE RUNNER-UP IN 1967, TO THE 73 YEARS OF AGE, AND SINE ONLY SURPASSED FOR A BOY OF 13 YEARS, CALLED FOR ALL “MEQUINHO” (IN FACT GM Henrique Mecking). MENDES WON THE INDIVIDUAL MEETING, IMPOSING " MEQUINHO" ITS ONLY DEFEAT IN THE COMPETITION! SOUZA MENDES DIED IN /10/07/1969 |

|
| Oct-21-09 | | Yopo: Sousa is the wright ortography in the portuguese language like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristi....
Still more: Spanish form SOSA excludes Z.
Sousa already. |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | vonKrolock: Souza Mendes http://www.brasilbase.pro.br/jsmend... With a Z in the <Souza>, yes. In Brazil - You will find both forms, hardly we could speak about a <correct> - family names, moreover in names from already deceased persons, should not be changed for reasons of <logic> or <modernity> (still another Ortographic Reform !? - this serve mainly for the Planned Obsolescence of whole libraries, for raising gaps between generations, forcing older people to learn new rules instead of having their own langage as a tool for transmission of their own experiences and knowledge to the younger people) |
|
| Nov-16-09 | | Marcelo Brasileiro: Souza is according the old ortography, Sousa according to the new one. |
|
| Nov-17-09 | | vonKrolock: So... why not <Paul Morfi > !? Is new, modern ... (well, kind of a mess in the databases, too) |
|
| May-02-11 | | Marcelo Bruno: Please change the year that he was the first time Brazilian champion: the correct is 1927 (regrettably most sources have 1925). |

|
| Nov-20-12 | | Gottschalk: Grafar Souza com "Z" é o mesmo que ecrever Pequim no lugar de Beijing. Um anacronismo! É bom lembrar que Brasil e Portugal assinaram acordos ortográficos e que, antes disso, na Espanha sempre se escreveu Sosa. |
|
| Nov-24-12 | | vonKrolock: A capital da China é <北京>. Você usa a transliteração mais aceita hoje em dia ( talvez seja até 'oficial', mas não é a única). <Pequim> é tão tradicional e culturalmente defensável quanto <Londres, Milão, Estocolmo, Antuérpia> etc, etc. |
|
| Nov-08-13 | | Karpova: Dr. Sonze Mendes won the Brazilian Championship against Luiz Vanna in a 10-game match in Rio de Janeiro. Dr. Mendes studied in Berlin and also perfected his chess there. From page 299 of the October 1924 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung' |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | Gottschalk: Using his space advantage to produce weak pawns, Souza Mendes only allowed exchanges when he saw an advantageous ending, with his king much better.
A long and careful strategy lesson:
