MAXIMILIAN UJTELKY (born Apr-20-1915, died Dec-12-1979) Czech Republic [what is this?] Maximilián Samuel Rudolf Ujtelky was a Slovak chess master and theoretician. Dr. Ujtelky was a direct descendant of famous Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, and his original last name was Ujteleky. He was given the International Master title in 1961. He tied with Jiri Fichtl in the Czechoslovak Chess Championship at Ostrava 1960, but lost a tiebreak match. He thrice represented Czechoslovakia in Chess Olympiads; at Amsterdam 1954, Leipzig 1960, and Havana 1966, twice in European Men’s Team Chess Championships; at Vienna 1957 (team won bronze medal) and Oberhausen 1961 (won individual bronze medal), and several times in friendly matches. His name is attached to the Ujtelky System (b6, Bb7, g6, Bg7, d6, e6, Nd7, Ne7) -- see Opening Explorer -- an opening similar to the Hippopotamus Defence. He was dubbed the "Hero of the Hippo". source: Wikipedia article: Maximilian Ujtelky
