The other games from the site are just as much fun. I'm submitting them to the database.

Ludvig Oskar Svenonius was born in the province of Jämtland, but studied medicine in Uppsala and Stockholm in the 1870:s. During these years, he devoted a lot of time to chess playing and got a reputation as one of the top players in Sweden. After finishing his studies he moved north again, where he, after some provisional work along the east coast, finally settled in the province of Härjedalen. As those familiar with Sweden know, that’s about as far out in the forest you can get. This isolation in the wilderness meant that he seldom played any chess. To get a game, he had to travel ca 50 km, where he could meet the fellow chessplayer Rev. Linderdahl, who is described as a ‘fairly strong blitzplayer’. Thus, Svenonius never got play any of the celebrities from abroad in a serious game. In 1902, the famous chess master Jacques Mieses visited Stockholm, but Svenonius missed him, arriving shortly after he had left. At last, in 1913 when Svenonius was 60 years, he got play a star when Siegbert Tarrasch visited Sweden. Tarrasch held a simultaneous exhibition with 33 players. Only two of them won, but one of those was Svenonius.

<Gideon Ståhlberg writes [...] that Svenonius was a genius, with a deep and original grasp [of the game] and that he became our [Sweden's] first great theoretician. Quoting Ståhlberg, 'He could also have become our first grandmaster, but his profession and possibly lack of ambition put obstacles in his path.' [...] According to Ståhlberg, Svenonius was also a very strong practical palyer, but he never participated in a major tournament. When he was at his strongest, he was supposed to participate in the Paris tournament of 1878, but he lacked money for the passage, food and lodging. >
