Aug-21-03    Honza Cervenka: Karel Skalicka or also Carlos Skalicka (after his emigration to Argentina in 1939) Mar-17-08    Gypsy: Dr. Karel (Carlos) Skalicka (*1896 +1979) Best World Rank: #20 (1931-1932) Highest Rating: 2606 Mar-17-08    whiteshark: Here is a picture from Podebrady 1936, <Skalicka> (top row) between Richter and Alekhine. http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/histori... Mar-17-08    whiteshark: Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_... Mar-17-08    Gypsy: <whiteshark> Great picture. Btw, that must be Kurt Richter, not Emil -- Emil did not play in Podebrady, 1936. Podebrady, 1936 must have been a pretty strong tournament: 1.Flohr (+9) 2.Alekhine (+8) 3.Foltys (+5) 4-5.Stahlberg and Pirc (+4) 6.Eliskases(+2) ... Mar-17-08    Resignation Trap: Another photo from Podebrady 1936. This one has Pirc and Frydman, but not Fazekas: http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/... .
