Feb-10-06    BIDMONFA: Mario Napolitano NAPOLITANO, Mario http://www.bidmonfa.com/napolitano_... _ Feb-10-06    TheAlchemist: <Dr Mario Napolitano was born on the 10th of February 1910 in Acquaviva delle Fonti, Italy> He should have been born in Napoli. Feb-10-06    THE pawn: GMC title? isn't it a Truck company? (''General motors of Canada'' or something like that.) What does it stand for? Grandmaster candidate? Feb-10-06    TheAlchemist: <THE pawn> Probably GM of correspondence chess or something, you see he was 2nd in the world championship Dec-12-06    Karpova: Related to Giorgio Napolitano (who was indeed born in Napoli)? Dec-12-06    WannaBe: They named an ice cream after him? Dec-12-06    setebos: Yeah because he got licked so many times :) Dec-12-06    Benzol: He was very nearly the First Correspondence World Champion. Dec-25-06    syracrophy: Is he still alive? Dec-25-06    Prugno: Unfortunately not, he died in 1995 I believe. Dec-27-06    Benzol: <THE pawn> The GMC title stands for Grandmaster of Correspondence Chess.
