  nizmo11: Veli Yrjö Hirvensalo
Birth: November 27, 1907 Iisalmi, Finland
Death: July 19, 1931 (23) Hyvinkää, Finland

Obituary in Helsingin Sanomat Aug 30th 1931,
(literal translation of the last sentence):

"<Yrjö Hirvensalo>
Death has visited the chessmen this summer,
this time taking with it the young and promising academician Yrjö Hirvensalo, who suddenly died on July 19th.

Hirvensalo was one of the most notable players of our young generation. His achievements include the victory and draw in the Academic Chess Club's match in Tartu in 1929, victory in the city match Helsinki — Tallinn in 1930, and a draw in a similar match in 1931. In the 2nd grade tournament of the Helsinki Chess Club in the fall of 1930, Hirvensalo received the second prize.

Way too early, from a human point of view, Hirvensalo has now lost the decisive game in which the reaper every now and then combines unexpected sudden checkmate."
