| BarakSaltz: Many of his games played in Scandinavia are not available on online historical chess game databases, but are available via Google Books. More difficult to research than his Scandinavian games would be whether he recorded games he played when in Brazil. |

| |
| BarakSaltz: I think Chajes in Yiddish or in the Ashkenazi pronunciation of Hebrew is "animals"/"beasts"/"creatures". |

| BarakSaltz: I think Will Sasso parodized Ivanchuk as Rui Peranio in an episode of the 3rd season of Mad TV , orginally aired in 1997. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2b... |

Apr-11-21 Sultan Khan vs Menchik, 1932
| |
| BarakSaltz: 4. cxd5 looks sufficiently sound for it to seem odd that the current game is often indicated, per free online databases, to have introduced it as a novelty. Would anybody have a citation of an older game where the move was played? |
