EU Language officer in <Field office for multilingualism in Finland> http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/translation...

Oct-15-10  paavoh: Many of his 30-or-so move losses to notable opponents are probably due to exceeding the time limit?!

  Stonehenge: <Benzol> Did he win the CC Championship? He certainly didn't win the OTB Championship.
Dec-03-12  Benzol: <Stonehenge> Ken Whyld in "Guiness Chess The Records" has him listed as the winner of the 1984 Finnish Ch held in Helsinki. Normally Ken Whyld is pretty reliable. Do you have other info?
Dec-03-12  TheFocus: Is this reliable?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnis...

Dec-03-12  TheFocus: This link was at the bottom:

http://www.shakki.net/shakkipeli/hi...

It shows his 3rd place in 1982, but no win in 1984.

Dec-03-12  Benzol: <TheFocus> Well that blows it wide open. Looks like Ken Whyld might be mistaken and as a result so am I.

  Stonehenge: Thanks guys :)

<Benzol> I'm not so sure that Ken Whyld chap is so reliable. I have found quite a few mistakes so far.

Dec-04-12  whiteshark: He was Finnish Corr.Chess Champion in 1980, according to the Finnish Corr. Chess Association. http://www.shakki.net/liitot/skl/me... Sometimes Start of /end of corr tournament differ in 2-3 years.
Dec-04-12  Benzol: <whiteshark> While we've got your attention. Could you visit the <Mrs Alekhine> forum regarding Game Collection: 99_Hamburg 1910 There is something important you need to do. Thanks in advance.

:)

  GrahamClayton: Binham is a very un-Finnish sounding surname. Were his parents originally not from Finland?
