Jun-17-04  600POUNDGORILLA: This is the name of a Viking conquerer.
Dec-22-04  Benzol: Karl Mathias Berndtsson
Born 16th March 1892 in Goteborg
Died 29th September 1943
Nordic Champion in 1928.
Feb-20-05  IngoBingo: Berndtsson was the creator and editor of a chess magazine - "Schackvärlden" ("The Chess World") from 1923 until his sudden death by stroke in 1943. This probably reduced his powers at the board, and Gideon Ståhlberg is reported to have branded Berndtsson's engagement in journalism as "the greatest waste in Swedish chess".
Feb-20-05  vonKrolock: <IngoBingo> I know the name "Schackvärlden" as a source of publication of original Problems and Studies - good sections of this branches contributes to preserve the memory of past Chess periodicals...
