  Tabanus: 365Chess and several others has him as Erich Brunner (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_...), but that I don't believe without hard evidence.
Jun-14-13  whiteshark: <Tabanus> Check out the <Mexico City 1932 crosstable> at http://www.rogerpaige.webspace.virg... It says <Erich Brunner>, but I found no infos/hints in the wiki-article that it's the same people.
Jun-14-13  TheFocus: Erich Brunner did not play in <Mexico City 1932>.
Jun-14-13  whiteshark: <TheFocus: Erich Brunner did not play in <Mexico City 1932>.> Do you have evidence that the crosstable is wrong? And if so, who was playing there?
Jun-14-13  TheFocus: I did this game collection from <Quarterly of Chess History>:

Mexico City (1932)

I will have to give you the <QCH> description on Monday. I think he was just a local player. But I will not discount that it may have been Erich. <QCH> may have been mistaken. If so, then I will have to tip my hat to you once again!

After all, I did make an earlier mistake in that collection. Here is the reprint of that from the Biographers Bistro:

TheFocus: <Phony> OK, here it is. When I began <Mexico City 1932>, the only games in the database were the Alekhine and Kashdan games. Kashdan was paired against <J. Vazquez> and Alekhine against <R. Vazquez>.

Which was right? Well, of course, I had my trusty <Quarterly for Chess History>. But, guess what it said? Uh... Captain J. Vazquez, the same as you pointed out.

W-w-w-wait a minute. What? How did I then input the wrong initial? None of the pairings are wrong. But for some reason, I stubbornly pursued the wrong path and kept putting in an R. instead of a J.

Another case of chess blindness.

I will make the corrections today.

Now you can see why I gave up tournament chess.

  Tabanus: Albuquerque Journal, Monday, October 17, 1932, Page 2 has <J. Brunner, of Mexico City>. Try google "Brunner, of Mexico". But that's also the only hint. Albuquerque is quite near Mexico. I bet he is a local player.
Jun-15-13  TheFocus: OK, I checked in <Quarterly of Chess History>, <American Chess Bulletin> and <Alekhine Alekhine's Chess games 1902 - 1946> by Skinner and Verhoeven.

All have J. Brunner. Skinner has an earlier simultaneous game against J. Brunner. <ACB> has a photo of the contestants.

It appears as if he was a local player.

  Tabanus: He could be a German-Mexican, see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German... or even from US, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigr....

Jun-15-13  whiteshark: So it's indeed J Brunner <Thanks!>
