Jun-14-04    Gypsy: Swiss violinist and chess master. Jan-28-05    GufeldStudent: I know him mostly for his losses to Nimzo: His game against Marshall is nice. e3 was bad, Nb3 followed by Bg2 was better. Jan-28-05    GufeldStudent: I have noticed that many of Johner's better games involve sacrificing material to get active pawn positions. He seems to be quite fond of this technique.

Jan-07-09    thebribri8: Doesn't anyone know this guy's middle name? Apr-19-09    Sem: I thought the musician was Hohner ;-) Apr-19-09    WhiteRook48: I thought the musician was Giuseppe Verdi. Apr-21-09    Sem: He was, WhiteRook, but he produced opera's, not mouth organs. Jul-30-09    myschkin: . . . Photo: http://www.chessbase.de/2009/sgz/PI...
