| brankat: <fich> I see You are relatively new around here, still learning the ropes :-) About 6 inches down from the top of the screen there is a short (2 lines) biography of the player :-) It is so on every players' page, with some exceptions where there is no Bios. |

| FHBradley: Known as "Charles XIII" for winning the Finnish Championship for thirteen times, Ojanen's most influential game was a win against Paul Keres, May 1960, a game whose ideas Jonathan Penrose made use of when he defeated Tal in a famous game at the Chess Olympiad, Leipzig 1960. Penrose's game (though, possibly, not Ojanen's) was recently discussed by Dennis Monokroussos:
