 | | gezafan: <rudysanford: Does anyone have an opinion on his book- The Ruy Lopez: Winning Chess with 1. P-K4? Has it aged well? Is it still useful? Is it more of a book for white than black?> Well, Rudy, here's an answer after 12 years. I hope you drop in sometime and see it. Barden's book on the Ruy Lopez is pretty good. It will give you a basic understanding of many of the ideas in the Lopez. Since it's an older book you would not look to it for cutting edge analysis, but for the club player and weekend warrior it's worth reading. I'd say it's a good book from both the white and black perspectives. |

| Aug-20-21 | | Nosnibor: <Roberts partner> There is a game of yours I have come across from the World Student Championship 1953 where you beat Glenn Nylen in a very moves. I find this hard to believe because when I played this player at the Karlstad Open in 1989 he was only a teenager! Could the player that I played possibly be his father or is this just a mere coincidence or an error by Chess 365 ? |

 | | roberts partner: <Nosibor> Sorry, didn't see this earlier. Obviously it's a database error. I only recall two of my games from Brussels 1953, a loss with White in the French to T Store of Norway which cost England first place, and a Ruy win against Akiba Rubinstein's son. Conditions were poor, our team had to sleep two in a bed in a room which was next to a lift shaft. |

| Apr-01-22 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Nosnibor,
Leonard's opponents in that event are here: (you will have it but other interested parties might not) https://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/pd... (page 12 onwards) Leonard did play a Nylen (no initial) in Round 5 v Finland, Leonard won. Only the interesting diagram is given before Leonard sacced the exchange on move 18. https://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/pg... (game 91) The magazine mentions the critical game Leonard says he lost v Norway and Store.
England moved Leonard to board two to give him White and avoid Norway's best player Store. But Norway moved Store down to board two!
The report adds Leonard tried too hard win the game. Norway won 2½ - 1½ the other English loss by McKelvie. Russia were due to play (and probably win it) but their team (Taimanov, Geller, Moisiev and Suetin ) could not get travel visas in time. Two of that team played in the Zurich 1953 candidates. Moisiev(?) This is most likely Oleg Moiseev was also there as Kotov's second. |

 | | nizmo11: the Finnish player was likely
Bo Nyren. Olimpbase does not have details for Brussels, but Nyrén played in the in the 1st International Student Chess Tournament in Liverpool http://www.olimpbase.org/1952y/1952..., and also in the 1st World U20 ch (1951) From there: Larsen vs B Nyren, 1951 |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Nimzo,
I would give that as a very good guess, the similarity is there and easy to see how the names could be mixed up. Also his name is the only one closest to Nylen on this list of good Finnish players. The year given (1956) is the year Bo Nyren was awarded the Finnish Master title. https://www.wikipe.wiki/wiki/fi/Lue... Here is a 1952 picture of him. (sitting behind the black pieces.) looks a wee bit like a young Jonathan Rowson. https://images.chesscomfiles.com/up... |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | Olavi: Yes, it is Bo Nyrén, I can assure you. |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | Sally Simpson: Another minor chess mystery cleared up. Thank you Olavi and Nimzo. |
