May-25-05    FHBradley: According to Poutiainen's bio, he passed away in 1978. How come he had a game of chess in 1989? May-25-05    acirce: <FHBradley> It was correspondence. Poutiainen sent a move in 1978, Rantalainen pondered on it for 11 years and then resigned. Seriously, it's probably just another Poutiainen. Jun-03-07    MrPatzer: Apparently he killed himself. Sad. Nov-22-07    minasina: The Finnish version of wikipedia reads: "Pertti Poutiainen was one of Finland's brightest natural talents in chess. He rose to prominence in the chessworld at the Nizza chess olympics in 1974. He was one of the few Finns who have been able to struggle evenly matched with the world's elite. Serious mental disturbances and the pursuit of perfect play finally led him to commit suicide in 1978." Translated by User: krippp Dec-05-08    brankat: R.I.P. master Poutiainen.
