ANDRE CHERON
(born Sep-25-1895, died Sep-12-1980, 84 years old) France (federation/nationality Switzerland)

[what is this?]
André Chéron was born in Colombes, France. He was French champion in 1926, 1927 and 1929 and played on the French Olympiad team of 1927. He was also a problem composer and author of note, his major work being Lehr und Handbuch der Endspiele (1952-58) with the 2nd edition (1969-71). This became a major reference work on the endgame. Chéron was awarded the IMComp title in 1959. He passed away in Leysin, Switzerland in 1980.

  OhioChessFan: How isn't the repeated posts by <Bidmonfa> a violation of: 2. No spamming, advertising, or duplicating posts.

They are nothing more than spammed, duplicated, advertising links for his website.

Sep-25-06  Stevens: <OhioChessFan: How isn't the repeated posts by <Bidmonfa> a violation of: 2. No spamming, advertising, or duplicating posts. > irritates me too, thats why i've complained more than once to absolutely no effect and put it on the ignore list. much easier that way.
Sep-25-06  acirce: This is what <chessgames.com> said Feb 10:

<User: WTHarvey has never been accused of spamming, in fact his collections of tactical puzzles receive numerous compliments. Although he has posted hundreds of links to his site, his resources are very well received and help enhance the value of our player pages.

On the other hand, User: BIDMONFA has been constantly accused of spamming, and yet he's done nothing different than WTHarvey.

Spamming is, by definition, posting the same message repeatedly. BIDMONFA has never posted the same link twice (with one exception, which we're willing to attribute to human error.) The content quality of the chess site being linked to never enters into the equation.

The bottom line is, it's not our job to rate chess sites.>

Makes sense to me. I wouldn't consider it spamming if someone did nothing else than linking to various (different) Chessbase articles either.

But I don't know if <BIDMONFA> has started posting the exact same link over and over.

Sep-25-06  Stevens: not spamming, advertising.

anyway, why not post the link in his profile, and contribute something to the discussions so that people look at his profile to find out more, rather than use this site as nothing more than free advertising.

can't believe i'm even wasting my time, just bung em on ignore if it irritates!

while i'm here, check out yankees.com for all your baseball requirements

  Phony Benoni: I'm obviously in a huge minority here, but I enjoy seeing a post from BIDMONFA on these player pages, making it possible to associate a face with the name.

Maybe he's advertising--but since he doesn't ask for money, I don't care. If it bothers you, just use your ignore button and let the rest of us have our little pleasures.

Dec-14-08  Karpova: In C.N. 5888 Edward Winter writes: <A complete run (1826-1998) of the "Journal de Genève" has recently been made available on-line, and problem/study enthusiasts will particularly welcome the opportunity to read André Chéron’s celebrated chess column, which began on 2 October 1932.>

  paulalbert: As player of the day, Andre Cheron deserves a comment. Actually one of my chess colleagues, Billy J. Levine, now over 90 years of age learned chess from Cheron, and Billy showed me the puzzle by Cheron posted below. Billy is a strong practical player, incredible on solving studies and puzzles, having been taught virtually all the themes by Cheron. Billy still teaches chess to children in the local schools. He also is collector of chess sets and his home is a chess museum of incredible sets collected all over the world.Billy is a great admirer of Cheron's artistry. Paul Albert
Sep-25-09  pferd: OK - can't see Paul's puzzle, but here is one for you.

Sep-25-13  Idiot123: Oh wow...that's a nice one...1.Rd8 Bxd8 2.Nf8 Re7 3.Ka6! and black can only move the rook which can't protect d7 and e6 from any other square ...3.Rd7 4.Ne6#
Sep-25-13  DoctorD: To prevent the bishop getting to e3, White plays 1. Rgd8! first.

From page 301 of the October 1926 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung'

Sep-25-16  offramp: He has two acute accents in his name. The only other chess player so endowed is José Raúl Capablanca.
Sep-25-19  Cibator: <offramp: He has two acute accents in his name. The only other chess player so endowed is José Raúl Capablanca.>

Uh-uh. There's Frédéric Lazard too.

Dec-14-20  vonKrolock: <Francisco José Pérez Pérez> Three acute accents, three times <Campeón de España> https://www.tabladeflandes.com/list... and You have also Jose Manuel Perez Gonzalez with three acute accents. Maybe four would be the real task?
