Dec-22-04    Benzol: Edwin Bhend Born 9th September 1931 Swiss champion in 1966 he was awarded the IM title in 1960. Sep-09-06    BIDMONFA: Edwin Bhend BHEND, Edwin http://www.bidmonfa.com/bhend_edwin... _ Sep-09-07    xKinGKooLx: Pun potential. 1. Around the Bhend. 2. Bhend it like Beckham. Sep-09-07    D4n: Edwin Bhend, did pretty well. It only took him six years to become the Swiss Champion, thats pretty good. Sep-09-07    OhioChessFan: There's a place up ahead and I'm going just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're going, Leave the sinking ship behind. CHORUS: Come on the rising wind, We're going up around the bend. Ooh! Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, Better get while the gettings good, Hitch a ride to the end of the highway Where the neons turn to wood. CHORUS Oooh! You can ponder perpetual motion, Fix your mind on a crystal day, Always time for a good conversation, There's an ear for what you say. CHORUS Yeah! Oooh! Catch a ride to the end of the highway And we'll meet by the big red tree, There's a place up ahead and I'm going, Come along, come along with me. CHORUS Yeah! Do do doo do... Feb-12-09    Udit Narayan: Supposedly Nakamura alludes to this guy when he decides to humiliate his opponents after beating them... Feb-12-09    Pyke: <Udit Narayan: Supposedly Nakamura alludes to this guy when he decides to humiliate his opponents after beating them... > Humiliating opponents after beating them only shows off a lack of character. Feb-12-09    acirce: Is he still doing that, btw? I've been under the impression that he has matured a bit. Feb-13-09    AnalyzeThis: Well, this guy beat Tal once, so he couldn't have been that bad. Jul-26-09    WhiteRook48: yes he Bhent him Sep-09-10    kramputz: <Sep-09-07 OhioChessFan: There's a place up ahead and > You are sick. Did you notice this forum is about chess? Take your medication. Jan-01-13    Prugno: Edwin Bhend is still doing remarkably well, I see. For someone who drew against Kotov in 1952 and beat Tal a few years later, to make a draw (in a superior ending!) against the rising star Melkumyan, rated over 2650, is not a bad achievement at all, considering he did it on the first day of 2013, at the Basel Open.
