Nov-04-07    whiteshark: born 1909 in Franfurt/Main died 26. Jan. 1996 12 times 'Saarland' champion. 1st board of the 'Saarland' national team during the Olympiads 1952 in Helsinki, 1954 in Amsterdam and 1956 in in Moskow. Nov-04-07    Calli: <whiteshark> Why don't you write Chessgames and get authorization to do the biographies? Maybe you didn't realize that all the bios are user written by people who get special permission to do them. Nov-04-07    whiteshark: <Calli> Oh no, a good suggestion(!), but that's a burden, to heavy for me. It requires good English language skills, s.th. I surely don't posses. Anyhow very nice that you've been thinking about it. :D Nov-04-07    Calli: Just cut and paste what you have already written. It is better than you think and as good as most of them. If anyone wishes to add, they can also edit the bio. My thought is to get the info at the top rather than in the thread.
