Feb-16-05    fasting: Poulsen was once danish champion... wasn't he? Feb-16-05    sneaky pete: <fasting> He wasn't ONCE Danish champion, he was TWICE, in 1945 and 1952. Also he was equal first in 1939, 1940 and 1951, but lost the play-offs. Feb-16-05    fasting: aiii thanks! Nov-05-09    Poulsen: His nickname was "Ploven" - the plow. As it was generally the case with top-level danish players in the "pre-Larsen-era", he had virtually no international achievements. All were happy amateurs - and almost never participated in international events - apart from the olympics. Here he nails Stoltz: Stoltz vs C Poulsen, 1947 Aug-17-10    BobCrisp: He recently signed for Liverpool FC.
