Nov-12-04    Marco65: <chessbase.com> Again: his name is "Fernando", not "Fernanado" Nov-12-04    cu8sfan: <Marco65> First of all, chessBASE.com is not very likely to correct this error and chessGAMES.com sometimes misses kibitzing so I'd send them an e-mail. Nov-12-04    acirce: I think they want us to click the "suggest your correction" link below and, in this case, check the "The name of this player is wrong" box and possibly provide a source. Nov-12-04    cu8sfan: O, I spotted it now. I thought they only had it for games, not for player profiles. Thanks. Nov-12-04    Marco65: Thanks guys I did that. Sure, chessgames, not chessbase. Nov-12-04    aw1988: Heh <chessbase.com>. Nov-12-04    azaris: If <chessbase.com> were to fix this page, they would just add pictures of scenic buildings and scantily clad women GMs. Nov-12-04    meloncio: <azaris> <... they would just add pictures of scenic buildings and scantily clad women GMs.> Maybe in this case would be justified. Braga means panty in Spanish :-)) Nov-13-04    Marco65: <meloncio> Also in Italian, as a regional form used somewhere. But people take him seriuosly over the board! Anyway, chessgames people were not offended by calling them "chessbase", and fixed the name Nov-13-04    Lawrence: If this were chessbase they might take this opportunity to show us some photos (hem, hem) of <Sonia Braga>. Nov-14-04    aw1988: <Lawrence> And show her in a bikini. Or naked on a magazine page. Or talk about her as a sex symbol. Nov-15-04    aw1988: Or all of the above. Jul-09-06    BIDMONFA: Fernando Braga BRAGA, Fernando http://www.bidmonfa.com/braga_ferna... _ May-16-08    biglo: Anyone know why it says Hiarcs after most of the games in the Event Locale? Jul-30-09    myschkin: . . . IM Fernando Braga (born 1958) from Italy. Fide card: http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... Argentine roots: http://www.olimpbase.org/1978/1978a...
