Feb-19-08  Knight13: LOL my friend named "Ian Brach" we were joking around and I tagged this guy to him and he said "okay." Guess we got a second Brach, huh.
Aug-23-12  Karpova: Brach beat Alois Perna in a match 6.5-1.5 in Brno in 1910.

Mar-18-14  Petrosianic: And of course, he died in Czechoslovakia, not the Czech Republic.
