JOEL FRIDLIZIUS (born Dec-31-1869, died Jan-06-1963, 93 years old) Sweden [what is this?] Joel Fridlizius was born 31 December 1869. He was a chess problem composer who specialized in bohemian style three-movers, some of which can be found in the book 370 Udvalda Svenska Schackproblem by Johan August Ros (Stockholm 1901). His best known problem was in St. Petersburger Zeitung 15 March 1898 (1st prize) - White mates in 3: click for larger view Fridlizius was also a correspondence chess (CC) player, and he won the first CC tournament in Sweden (1897-1900) initiated by Johan August Ros right after the 1st Nordic Championship (Stockholm 1897). After this he was also a winner of the 1st Nordic CC tournament (1900-1902) arranged by the Gothenburg Chess Club (source: http://jh.schack.se/Schack_i_Jamtla...). Fridlizius' finest achievement as an over-the-board player was perhaps second place at the 3rd Nordic Championship in Gothenburg 1901 (behind Jorgen Moeller). He also played in the 8th Nordic Championship in Stockholm 1912, where he finished eighth with six losses, but scored notable wins vs Alexander Alekhine, Rudolf Spielmann, Johannes Hjalmar Giersing and Gustaf Nyholm (crosstable: http://storiascacchi.altervista.org...). Fridlizius was editor of the chess column in the newspaper Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfarts-Tidning. When he defeated Frank James Marshall in his simul in Gothenburg 2 January 1912 (+13 =6 –11) he was one of the too strong players for such an event. In later years he lived in Skara (Sweden) where he was club champion as late as in 1954, at the age of 85. Wikipedia article: Joel Fridlizius

Beautiful combination - especially the non-checking moves, as Tamburro also says. It'd make a fine addition to the database.

The two are confused in pgn's - it depends on when to start counting the congresses: 1897, 1899 or 1901. I think the best would be to use the term Nordic Championship: 1st in 1897 (Stockholm), 2nd in 1899 (Copenhagen), 3rd in 1901 (Gothenburg), 4th in 1903 (Kristiania (now Oslo)), 5th in 1905 (Stockholm), 6th in 1907 (Copenhagen), etc.
