Aug-23-06		Phony Benoni: "His only overseas appearance was at Tel Aviv 1966 where he finished 12th= out of 16. All his chess otherwise was played in South America." The Warsaw 1935 and Stockholm 1937 Olympiads don't count as overseas appearances?

Nov-14-06		Phony Benoni: I just submmitted this game to the database: [Event "Olympiad"] [Site "Warsaw"] [Date "1935.08.25"] [EventDate "?"] [Round "12"] [Result "0-1"] [White "Betbeder Matibet, Louis"] [Black "Bolbochan, Jacobo"] [ECO "D05"] [WhiteElo ""] [BlackElo ""] [PlyCount "74"] 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Nbd2 Qc7 7.0�0 Be7 8.Qe2 0�0 9.dxc5 Bxc5 10.e4 Bd6 11.Re1 Ng4 12.Nf1 Bd7 13.Bg5 Rae8 14.Bc2 dxe4 15.Qxe4 f5 16.Qc4 h6 17.h3 b5 18.Qe2 Nge5 19.Nxe5 Nxe5 20.Bf4 Nf3+ 21.Qxf3 Bxf4 22.Bb3 Kh8 23.g3 Bd6 24.Rad1 Bc5 25.Rd2 e5 26.Ne3 Bxe3 27.fxe3 Bc8 28.Red1 f4 29.exf4 exf4 30.Rf2 Qb6 31.gxf4 Re3 32.Qg2 Bxh3 33.Qh2 Qg6+ 34.Kh1 Qe4+ 35.Kg1 Re1+ 36.Rf1 Rxf1+ 37.Rxf1 Bxf1 0�1 I enjoyed the power and efficiency of Black's play, even if White may have made it a bit easy for him. 17...b5 is startling at first glance, but 18.Qxb5 gets zwischenzugged by 18...Nd4 19.Qd3 Nxf3+ 20.Qxf3 Ne5, when White must give up the exchange by 21.Rxe5 to save his bishop.

Dec-26-06		al wazir: The <CG> database has six games between Jacobo and Julio, all ending in draws, none over thirty moves. Draw your own conclusions. Are there any examples of IM or GM chessplayers whose children were also strong players? If not, that seems to argue that exceptional ability at chess is not genetically determined.

Dec-27-06		Benzol: <al wazir> Milan Vidmar Milan Vidmar Jr are a GM father and an IM son combination.

Dec-27-06		Karpova: Thomas Paehtz and Elisabeth Paehtz

Dec-27-06		Caissanist: I remember that IM Boris M Kogan had a son Michael Kogan who was one of the USA's top juniors in the 1980s. Michael gave up the game while still a teenager, though, and never got an international title. Sibling rivalry seems to nurture strong chessplayers much better than the parent-child dynamic. There have been far more sibling pairs of titled players than parent/child ones.
