  Fusilli: I was looking at Yusupov's games in the World Junior Championship (1977), which he won.

In the first round, he played this man. Since there is no bio, I looked him up, trying to find info on him. All I found is the country he represented in that tournament, but... Does anyone know which country ESU is?

It wasn't immediately obvious to me (and might not even have been belatedly obvious to me), so I looked up the event at olimpbase.org and saw that this player was evidently from El Salvador.

  Sally Simpson: Hi Fusilli,

As you seem to have the power to update Bio's any chance after you have updated Herbert Armando's bio you can nip across to Magnus Carlsen and update and correct his bio. Currently it reads:

"His best result was in the 2006 Olympiad, where he scored 6 points from 8 games and came 5th for board one."

Wrong! In the 2022 Olympiad Magnus won a board one bronze medal. This time, according to today's F.T. Magnus wants Gold (also note they mention his 2022 bronze.)

<"Starting on Tuesday, he [Magnus Carlsen] will be competing for one of the few missing honours in his career when he leads the Norwegian team at this week’s Olympiad in Budapest. His best result so far is a bronze medal in 2022, now he wants gold.">
