Jan-06-08    Eastfrisian: It seems, that he became in 1998 Chief (General Secretary) of the Norwegian Chess Federation (see here: http://tromsosjakklubb.com/intervju... In the current FIDE-Rankling-List you can't find a Bjarke Kristensen, but a Bjarke Sahl (Norway), who is alo born in 1956. Did Kristensen change his name? Feb-05-08    Troller: Yes, he has adopted the name of his wife I think. His name is Bjarke Sahl now, and he represents Norway. Aug-22-09    whiteshark: "Bjarke Kristensen is playing under the name Bjarke Barth Sahl but that nationality and name change is not yet reflected in the new FIDE rating list."
