| HSOL: rochade18: so the Swedish "a with dot", is it pronounced like the a in fast or plant (British English)? At least in this case it's pronounced more like the a in all. |

| Ziggurat: According to Jeff Sonas' calculations (see http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...),
Ståhlberg was the best-performing player ("Oscar winner") in the world in 1947. |

| Runemaster: <Larsker: My "Ordbog over det danske sprog" has the word paaaande ("breathe upon"). That's four identical letters in a row. Has any other language ever bettered that?> I don't know one that's bettered it, but I think Estonian has the word "jaaaar" (with two dots on all the a's) which means 'The Ice Age'. There's a pop group by that name as well. I don't speak Estonian, but ever since I saw the word, it's become one of my favourites in any language. |

| Bashful Bob: Actually, the desciption "a with a dot" is not alltogether correct... it should be "a with a small circle". The letter "å" is a combination of "a" and "o", that is a pronounciation like a "rounded a". |
|
| Feb-01-06 |
| Ziggurat: The "å" sounds something like the word "awe" pronounced by a Briton (think Hugh Grant). |

| Domdaniel: Ståhlberg lost to the Irish international Eamon (or Edward) Keogh at an olympiad in the early 1960s - I've seen the game elsewhere, but it's not yet in the CG database. It's a key game from a "six degrees of chess separation" point of view, because Keogh still plays regularly in Irish tournaments - I've never played him myself, but we've been on adjacent boards countless times. Their combined years of chess activity cover eight decades from 1928 to 2008, hopefully with more to come. I've beaten several people who beat Keogh; Keogh beat Ståhlberg, who beat everyone from Nimzowitsch to Smyslov -- then one more link takes us back to 19th century masters or forward to more recent champions such as Kasparov. |

| Stolberg: Ståhlberg´s loss to Keogh was at the olympiad in Tel Aviv 1964, round 6. Ståhlberg played +5-4=6 there. |
