There is a short biography of Leo Forgacs (Leo Fleischmann prior to the <Magyarisirung> as a footnote says): He was born on 5 October 1881. After passing the <Maturitätsprüfung> in 1899 with honours, he completed the <orientalische Handelsakademie> (oriental commercial academy) in Budapest. He got acquainted with chess at the age of 14, but visited the Budapest Chess Club only from 1899 onwards. He had the opportunity to play against Charousek, Dr. Jacobi, Lehner, Maroczy and many others there. In 1902, he won the Hanover <Hauptturnier B> and the Master title of the German Chess Federation. He won the Barmen 1905 <Meisterturnier> ahead of strong players like Wilhelm Cohn, Dr. Julius Perlis and Rudolf Swiderski. The Ostend 1906 <Meisterturnier> was not such a success for him, since he devoted more attention to roulette. Only 3 weeks later, he shared 3rd-4th place together with Schlechter at Nuremberg, coming ahead of players like Janowski and Dr. Tarrasch.

<"Deutsches Wochenschach," for January 23, reports the death of L. Forgacs, the well-known Hungarian master, who participated in many tournaments under the name of Fleischmann. For the past few years, however, he had withdrawn from chess circles. His death occurred in Budapest last December, but the circumstances surrounding his demise have not been ascertained.>

The March edition noted on p.50:

<Always playing in tournaments under the name Fleischmann ... >

I don't believe this is true, what source backs this statement up?

Apparently the press took some time to adopt the new name.

* * * * *

<Tab> always always means always, excepting unlessing...

<[bio] Always playing in tournaments under the name Fleischmann (he was Hungarian champion in 1907.) >

is simply false. The bio is always going to be *wrong* until this is changed.

<<tab> That seems to be true, to judge from English newspapers. >

No, this might be a language issue, but your comment is wrong, because the assertion in the bio is absolute - it claims he *always* played under the name Fleischmann.

Not true - he began playing exclusively under the name Forgacs.

< But only before and until 1906. After that they have Forgacs only.>

The conditional can't follow an absolute in a separate sentence - it must go into the first sentence to modify the claim, always.

Perhaps the simplest correction is to adopt the info <PMD> provided, something like:

<Before 1904 he always played under the name Fleischmann, after that he exclusively used the name Forgacs, which the chess literature eventually also adopted.>

Well, almost always. At least when writing formally, some indication of exceptions need to modify the "always" qualifier.
