Nov-24-07    BIDMONFA: Max Marchand MARCHAND, Max http://www.bidmonfa.com/marchand_ma... _ Nov-24-07    whiteshark: player of the day What did he from 1922 onwards ? Nov-24-08    brankat: It looks like Mr.Marchand was quite successful for some 5-6 years period (1916-22), albeit in second-3rd rate tournaments of the period. Five days younger than Capablanca! I guess that explains it :-) R.I.P. master Marchand.
