| Apr-23-12 | | thomastonk: <crawfb5,Caissanist> Ken Whyld gives the same list of pre-WW II events in "Chess - The Records" 1986, p 22-23. About the pairing rules in Stockholm 1937 he writes: "After the first round drawn by lot, the best scorers meet each other in list order, with a different opponent each round." |

 | | WannaBe: Alexander Onischuk I've got a 'complaint'... why is the birthday both listed along with birth country, and then repeated in the main section of the bio.?? |

| | twinlark: <WannaBe>
Happens all the time for some reason. I've been removing this repetition when I encounter it but there are probably lots more. |

 | | Stonehenge: Biographer Guide:
<The ideal bio begins by stating the player's full name, the exact location of birth, and at least the year of birth. For example: Boris Vasilievich Spassky was born January 30, 1937 in Leningrad, USSR>. I have been naughty too. I have also been removing this repetition :) |

 | | Benzol: <Use American spellings for words like color and center.> I know that this is an American site but if an event took place for example in the Wellington Trade Centre then the spelling of the word Centre should be just that and not Center, surely? As George Bernard Shaw put it the English and the Americans are two peoples separated by a common language. |
|
| May-10-12 | | Blunderdome: Well, proper names should keep their spellings, of course. |
|

| | WannaBe: We'll rename <Blunderdome> to <BlunderCentre> =)) |
|
| May-10-12 | | Blunderdome: As long as I get to have a bio on here, under my username instead of my real name, I'm happy. |

 | | chessgames.com: Hey people, here's the kind of project that you folks live for. THE BACKGROUND: For years we've only seen one photo of Nezhmetdinov. It's the one that they use in every magazine article, the one on the cover of his book of best games, the old photo that shows him in full military regalia. We have it archived on our server here: http://www.chessgames.com/portraits... It's not surprising that a person who was not particularly famous only had one photo, archived by the military. Genealogists come across cases like that all the time. THE UDPATE: One day, one of our fans emails us a new photo with Nezhmetdinov we've never seen before. Awesome! It's not as clear of a photo, but it's a new one. Link: http://www.chessgames.com/portraits... THE LEGALESE: Just from inspection, it's likely a Soviet Union news photo, so it's almost certainly in public domain. Besides, historical finds like this are exactly the thing that the USA "Fair Use" laws were written to address. THE QUESTIONS: Excitedly, we slapped it up on his page right away: Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov. The only thing left to do is give the photo a proper caption. If possible we'd like to give it a complete attribution of who, what, where, and when! An ideal caption, I think, would be along the lines of this: <Nezhmetdinov (left) shakes hands with ______________ in front of _____ _____________ at the ______________ (19__).> The first blank is sort of a joke: I think we can all agree the fellow on the right is a youthful Mikhail Tal. But who is that gentlemen behind them? A tournament director or Soviet official perhaps? Can anybody identify the event, and thereby the year and location? Thanks in advance! |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Stony, thanks for this heads up you just left in my forum: <Stonehenge: More Nezh stuff here:
Biographer Bistro>
=============
<Stony, CG, and fellow biography buffs>- Great finds on the photos. However, I already included all of the photos of <Nezh> in this thread, and more than a dozen others, in the documentary film on <Nezh> I released 7 months ago on youtube: <Rashid Nezhmetdinov documentary>
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... The documentary also features a very short and very rare film clip of <Nezh> playing live over the board. <CG.com>- although it wasn't me who emailed you the <Nezh and Tal> photo you just put up on his web page, it was in fact me who first posted that photo on the internet. I ripped from a Russian TV documentary on <Mikhail Tal>. I have no idea of the copyright situation on that. After I ripped the photo from the Russian film, I then uploaded it on an article about <Nezh and Tal> that I wrote for <OnlineChessLessons>- Alien Math has already posted the link for my article earlier in this thread. http://www.onlinechesslessons.net/2... |

| | chessgames.com: Excellent work! So now we have <Nezhmetdinov (left) congratulates Tal for winning the 24th USSR Championship in Moscow, 1957.> That leaves only one question: the fellow in the back. Conceivably he might be a passerby who got caught in the photo, but the way he stands with Tal I have a hunch he was a tournament official. |
|
| May-16-12 | | Karpova: I have a question regarding the players' doctor's degrees. I came across this a while ago and I am simply curious whether there is some rule how it's done or pure chance. Many players with doctor's degrees don't have it as part of their name (most prominent example proabably being Dr. Lasker) while for others that's the case (e. g. Dr. Arpad Vajda). So I just wanted to bring this issue up. |

| May-16-12 | | HeMateMe: Did Botvinnik have a doctorate in electrical engineering? I think he did, but chose not to include the title with his chess name. |

 | | Thanh Phan: <Stonehenge: I wonder if this is M Damjanovic vs Nezhmetdinov, 1965:
http://chelny24.ru/images/news/2527...> Seems correct, from the Picture, М. ДАМЯНОВИЧ appears to fit http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94... And the Р. НЕЖМЕТДИНОВ is shown in full http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D... |
|

| | Stonehenge: Thanks <Thanh Phan>. It seems to read 'omjanovic', the name isn't fully visible. Perhaps it's an a after all, or the Russians wrote an o instead of an a. That wouldn't be so strange because an o is often pronounced as an a in Russian. |

Unfortunately, the photo key does not identify the smiling man behind <Tal> and <Nezh>. |
