| Jul-01-04 | | mikejaqua: Wow! This guy's almost as amazing as NN. Fernandez played for 94 years. |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | Montreal1666: Actually 104 years!!!! |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | aw1988: The math here is terrible. 103 years. |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | Montreal1666: There is more to it than meets the eye!!!
(2003-1900) + 1 |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | aw1988: Sorry, how precisely does that work again? |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | aw1988: Oh, right. I'm rusty. |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | Montreal1666: <aw1988> Well it is a bit delicate. For example if you say I played chess only in the year 2000, you have played for 1 year. If you say I played chess in the years 2000 and 2001 then you have played for 2 years: (2001-2000) + 1 |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | aw1988: Yes, I know. |
|
| Jul-22-05 | | rexeterna: So Fernandez would be the alter ego of NN and Meyer, right? |
|
| Jul-24-05 | | Giearth: This Fernandez fellow must be an Elf! |
|
| Jul-24-05 | | arifattar: Obviously there is more than one Fernandez involved here. Quite a common Portuguese surname. Go to Turner Road in Bombay and throw a stone. Chances are it will land in the drawing room of Mr. Fernandez. |
|
| Jul-24-05 | | Montreal1666: <arifattar:> that is why Mr. Fernandez has made his way to the Odd Lie hall of fame!!! (We are joking around man!) |
|
| Jan-23-08 | | jovack: Fernandez can live forever apparently. |
|
| Dec-24-08 | | WhiteRook48: wow. Another really old guy who lost a lot of his games... makes me wonder if he's related to NN. |
|
| Dec-28-08 | | visayanbraindoctor: <Montreal1666: Actually 104 years!!!!.> My great, great, great grandmother was surnamed Fernandez. If she had played Steinitz, then CG Fernandez would be more than 104 years old. |

To be fair to the old feller, Fernandez did win 10 games. |

 | | perfidious: Maybe we can thin the ranks of the mysterious Fernandez games; I've got a few in mind. Time to get to work. Let's see how much progress can be made from the current count of 59. Any other takers? |

<....Fernandez played for 94 years. > This statement is now correct (at least for the moment!). His playing career may shrink yet more, however-I've a feeling that there's a joker called Fernandes in the midst of all this with most of those Dubai 1986 games. We're now on 32, with hope of further progress. |

| | perfidious: Things are looking up with a count of 28, but there may be some further adventures in store. There's probably no hope of clearing up the very earliest games, but no harm trying, either! |
