  Benzol: He is a different player from Ernst Gruenfeld isn't he?
Jun-18-06  WMD: Yes, he is. Or, rather, he was.

  keypusher: <WMD>! Nice to see you again.
Jun-18-06  WMD: Thank you, my fan.
Jun-18-06  ughaibu: Fan singular? I feel snubbed.
Jun-18-06  WMD: Ditto.
Jun-18-06  mack: WMD me old mucker, where have you been? Travelling to third world countries in an attempt to 'find yourself' or something?
Jun-18-06  WMD: Frequenting various right-wing websites. I'm not sure when my posting ban here was lifted.
Jun-18-06  Karpova: WMD: <I'm not sure when my posting ban here was lifted.>

Why did you get banned?
I noticed your absence but didn't know you were banned.

Jun-18-06  WMD: Can't exactly recall the offending remark but it had something to do with John Donaldson, Ray Keene and the subject of plagiarism. So it goes.
Jun-18-06  Karpova: So you took on the mighty <Ray Kenne>? Better stick with LMAJ next time ;-)

Jun-18-18  diagonal: <Senk> Many thanks for your link with a comprehensive portrait of a lesser known player.

In 1963/64, Gereben co-won at the 6th edition of the traditional Reggio Emilia tournament, alongside with Rudolf Teschner (best-on tie-break), Gedeon Barcza, and Janos Flesch.

Gereben was clear first at the Hoogovens Beverwijk - B tournament in 1962, and also won the so-called Masters A at the great Monte Carlo tournament in 1967 (in fact, this was another B-group), Bobby Fischer won the head tournament above Smyslov, Geller, and Larsen.

Jan-03-20  PJs Studio: I just used Bent Larsen’s game collection on chessagames.com to find the game from the nice photo featured on GM Larsen’s Wikipedia page. It was from the 1961 Hoovigan’s event. IM Gereben quickly outclassed in a closed Benoni (1...c5 3...e5)

Interestingly the photo was taken two moves before Larsen stole a second pawn and IM Gereben resigned shortly after dropping a third. No shame in that loss. His only game with Larsen who won the event equal with Ivkov. (+7 -1 = 1) The great Ernst Grüenfeld competed in Hoovigans ‘61. His final tournament appearance.
