Mar-06-25 Hilversum Zonal (1947) 
|
HSOL: <stone free or die>: Given the book on the collectorshop webpage is most definitely in Swedish, I wonder what the source is for the information about the Saltsjöbaden interzonal on the webpage. I browsed rather shallowly some issues of the Swedish chess federation magazine from ... |

Feb-10-25 Hungarian Championship (1967/68)
|
HSOL: <perfidious>: Afterwards, yes. In total OTOH, I think it would be difficult to put Ribli ahead of Szabo (given his three participations in Candidates and I think top ten-fifteen player for many years) |

Jan-26-24 Wei Yi vs M Warmerdam, 2024 
|
HSOL: <dehanne>: I'm not so sure, given Wei Yi spent 45-50 minutes on his 7th move. |

Dec-30-23 World Blitz Championship (2023) 
|
HSOL: <Bobby Fiske>: So I understand you correctly, Abasov is currently not a qualifier but Carlsen is from the FIDE World Cup because IIRC Fide World Cup triumphs Ratings? |

Dec-16-23 Copenhagen Open (1980)
|
HSOL: <perfidious>: The crosstable link in the tournament section refers to the tournament as 2nd Copenhagen Open and 1st Politiken Cup. Stonehenge's link to what I assume is the Danish Chess Federation's magazine has a fairly long article about the tournament and referring to it as ... |

|
HSOL: <MissScarlett>: If his birthdate is correct in his data here on chessgames.com, wouldn't he be ineligible for the 2020 Irish 65+ Championship on accord of being only 55 in addition of not being Irish? |

Nov-05-23 FIDE Grand Swiss (Women) (2023) 
|
HSOL: As for the uniqueness of Pia Cramling. I hazard a guess it was quite helpful having a four year older brother who's an IM (got the title a year before Pia). But of course that doesn't to any degree explain her longevity. |

Oct-28-23 Sofia Zonal (1957) 
|
HSOL: The source about the zones in the intro must have been wrong? There's a Finnish player (Niemelä), an East German player (Fuchs) and an Austrian player (Beni) in the crosstable who should all have been in Zone 2 and not Zone 3? Also, the other two European zonals were both held in Zone |

HSOL: <Caissanist>: Among active players he's #1, Iossif Dorfman is 2531 (born 1953), followed by Jan Timman 2522 (b. 1951) and Ulf Andersson 2518 (b. 1951) Among inactives #1 is an FM(!) Vladimir Afromeev 2633 (b. 1954), followed by Karpov and 5 other GMs rated higher than Nunn (3 of ... |

HSOL: <stone free or die>: I actually have no idea of the intention of the original wording, I'm certain I had no involvement whatsoever in this bio (and probably not any other bio either) before my comment above. IMO your suggested change improved the original sentence. ... |
