  Benzol: Anyone know if this is Domenico Ercole Del Rio?
May-23-05  lopium: De Beaurevoir! In French, Beau means beautiful, au revoir means see you! It's like a mix, very funny.... I never saw such a French name nowadays, maybe they changed it.

Sep-10-12  Abdel Irada: Ah, old Del Rio. I first encountered his name in _Chess Life_ in 1983, where I saw a game in which he'd trapped his opponent's queen after a passive rook sac on a1. I'll have to see if that game's in the database.
Sep-10-12  Abdel Irada: Hmm. Here's the game I had in mind: De Beaurevoir vs D Ercole Del Rio, 1798.

Good heavens, did I ever mis-remember that!
