Jan-12-05    Benzol: In the New Zealand Championship 2004/2005 he's just taken 1st place but is not eligible to take the title as he's not a New Zealand resident. The title goes to 2nd place getter Anthony Ker. Tomas Civin was 3rd and Russell Dive was 4th. Jan-03-08    Karpova: <IM Aleksandar Wohl: This player need no introduction. A veteran of four Olympiads, Alex, aged 44, is now based at France, where he stays with his wife and daughter. He plays professional chess in the French league and for Weilheim in the German league. His best performance was at the Turin Olympiad, where he clocked a rating performance of 2650 with a score of 7/8. He loves biking and collecting mushrooms! He simply loves India as he feels that it has the best food in the world – vegetarian food!> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Picture: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2008/... Jul-31-10    Tabanus: He was biking all the way to Tromsø/Arctic Chess Challenge! Read his blog: http://www.doubleroo.blogspot.com/ Jan-08-14    Richard Taylor: Wohl was at the George Trundle Masters in NZ this year and won. He gave a great speech when he won thanking the organizers and appreciating the tournament. IM Solomon gave a problem which seemed impossible to solve and Wohl suggested he might have been pulling everyone's leg but it was for sure (I eventually solved it later at home). Seemed a good fellow (I suppose it helps to feel and be upbeat when you have just won!) Jul-31-15    Benzol: Why did he change has name from Eric Schwaiger to Alex Wohl in 1984? Sep-10-21    login: Alex's blog (incl. several games, until Jan 2019) https://doubleroo.blogspot.com/ Unrelated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoD... Sep-11-21    SvetlanaBabe: Considering the name change of Eric Schwaiger to "Alex Wohl", the question needs to be asked WHO exactly IS the ageing neckbeard Alex Wohl and why does he speak almost fluent Serbian (when he wants to)? I personally am of the opinion that he is not who he claims to be. Sep-11-21    login: Lana, as always an interesting remark - hope things are going well Down Under. Now since I did not check properly before I want to add this: The player's continued online presence can be found under https://www.doubleroo.com.au/blog/ with (at least) one older entry where he himself shed some light on the 'naming' matter https://www.doubleroo.com.au/blog/2... Since CG/me seem to part ways sooner than later, I have to let your second question unanswered. Related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5B... Jul-07-24    YoungEd: Odd choice of wording in the bio here: "journeyman master." I suspect the intented meaning was "well-traveled," but at least in American English the term "journeyman" when applied to competition generally connotes mediocrity. Any IM is far from mediocre in my book!
