| May-06-04 | | Poulsen: The strongest danish player in the 1920's and 1930's - 12 times (!) danish champ - still standing record. He was no real match for the strongest international players, through, prim. due to poor opening repertoire. Played topboard on the danish team, that won silver in the 1927 olympics.

|
| Apr-10-09 | | sfm: One of his most 'famous losses' is a game against Alekhine where the world champion had to resort to what he was also known for: very unsportsmanlike behavior.

| Apr-18-10 | | Karpova: From Edward Winter's C.N. 6547
Harry Golombek: <An attacking player of great combinative talent, he was always dangerous to the very best, as Alekhine found out at Warsaw, 1935. Personally he was a most likeable man, being the possessor of a quiet, unobtrusive humour which distinguished him from the more boisterous nature of some of his compatriots.> Source: Page 157 of the April 1938 'BCM'

| Sep-01-17 | | Arconax: His opening play was rather primitive, but a good practical player. His attacking play is impressive. A contrast to his big rival B. Nielsen who was a born defender. |
