Aug-12-05    Resignation Trap: Gerstenfeld (1915-1943) lived in Lvov and won the Polish Championship twice before reaching age 22. In 1939 his region of Poland became part of the USSR, which explains his participation in the 1940 USSR Championship. The world lost another talented player in 1943 when Gerstenfeld became a victim of Nazi atrocities.
