| May-09-11 | | SvetlanaBabe: I saw him play at the end of his career at the Melbourne Chess Club at 483 Elizabeth St in the late 1970's. he was still more than competitiveagainst a new generation of budding IMs and GMs who felt very lucky to even draw against him!
He was a top player.
RIP Mr Ozols. Keep playing that Leningrad Dutch! |

| | offramp: < SvetlanaBabe: I saw him play at the end of his career at the Melbourne Chess Club...> How tall was he? |
|
| Dec-13-13 | | SvetlanaBabe: Do you think on a chess site people want to know how tall Mr Ozols was? LOL! |
|

 | | perfidious: If Ozols had been a gnome, some should surely have been concerned over this-although it surely does not matter! |

Good question! It seems from photos that he could have been up to 8 feet tall. |
|
| Jul-10-15 | | zanzibar: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Can you spot the 8' tall man in this picture? |
|
| Jul-12-15 | | jerseybob: zanzibar: Reminds me of a "Far Side" cartoon I saw years ago: A gunslinger looking into a saloon says "I'm lookin' for the the one they call Horseface". And sitting at a table, playing cards, there he was. |
