Mar-02-06    BIDMONFA: Jaan Eslon ESLON, Jaan http://www.bidmonfa.com/eslon_jaan.... _ Feb-21-07    Thrajin: This guy won the first-ever Linares tournament in 1978. May-11-07    Knight13: So what he sucks. Every Linares is supposed to be filled with like 2700 rated players and this guy's like 2400. May-13-07    Thrajin: Still, it's a distinction he holds, and it's good chess trivia. By the way, saying a 2400 player "sucks" seems a bit exaggerated... May-14-07    Knight13: <By the way, saying a 2400 player "sucks" seems a bit exaggerated...> Just saying that 2400 winning a supposed-to-be-a-super-strong tournament shouldn't deserve that much credit. He won't stand a chance against those 2700 rated players that walked in later on. May-15-07    Thrajin: No argument there. Trivia, my friend, it's all about chess trivia. May-15-07    Legend: He was from Estonia.
