Oct-30-05    aw1988: <suenteus po 147> Any relation? Oct-30-05    suenteus po 147: <aw1988> Not that I'm aware of. However, it's possible. I know I come from a long line of Fontaines. But then again, Fontaine is a pretty common name in France. Jan-12-06    prinsallan: 147 = Bachs best cantata. Any relation? Jan-17-06    Amoceann: Fontaine, I'll bet for Québec, not France. Mar-10-06    WannaBe: Robert is a FR. GM. will be at the Las Vegas Chess Tournament in June. Aug-20-06    suenteus po 147: <prinsallan> I've never heard it. But you've given me a good idea of what I should listen to next :) Aug-23-06    BIDMONFA: Robert Fontaine FONTAINE, Robert http://www.bidmonfa.com/fontaine_ro... _ Jan-05-07    jenspetersson: Fontaine just won one of Sweden's top tournaments, Rilton Cup, if their live transmission is correct. Jan-05-07    Wild Bill: It is correct. Congratulations to M. Fontaine. Jan-09-07    trumbull0042: Doesn't Bach mean fountain in German? Jan-09-07    WannaBe: According to Babelfish, Bach in German is brook in English. Jan-10-07    Wild Bill: Famous remark attributed to Beethoven: <He should not have been called the Brooke but the Sea.> Apr-03-07    gambitfan: Enfin un joueur français sur ce site... Mais pourquoi aucune biographie ? Apr-14-07    THE pawn: Qu'est-ce que tu veux dire? Il y a des tonnes de joueurs français sur chessgames. Sep-02-08    Billy Vaughan: Oui, je peux trouver au moins les joueurs que je connais déjà ... Etienne Bacrot Maxime Vachier Lagrave Laurent Fressinet Marcel Duchamp (haha !) Et puis ceux qui habitent la France mais qui viennent d'autrepart ... Josif D Dorfman Vladislav Tkachiev et sûrement on connais ceci...Alexander Alekhine Dommage qu'ils n'aient pas tous de biographie, mais ils se trouvent ici. Feb-28-09    Billy Vaughan: Félicitations pour votre mariage avec Kateryna Lahno !
