| chesshistoryinterest: <jessicafischerqueen> Re <roberts partner>, who was posting earlier on this page, I have worked out that he is Leonard Barden. His moniker is a reference to him being a consultation partner with Fischer in the game Fischer/Barden vs Penrose/Clarke 1960 ... |

| chesshistoryinterest: This is exactly right. For his book "Paul Felix Schmidt" (2017), Gillam went through a similar process and published the crosstable he worked out in the book, saying "This is a very obscure tournament; the final table is probably being published for the first time." ... |

| chesshistoryinterest: <hemy> and myself both agree that the Eli Baikovicius page should in fact be headed up "Elias Baikovicius" (see discussion there). I therefore move that the heading of the Eli Baikovicius page be changed to "Elias Baikovicius". |

<The "5th May" is a mistake. It happen because is not clear what written on gravestone. By enlarging gravestone image we can see the date properly - "May 3, 1902".> You're right! Amazing the difference when enlarged. The key part of the "3" is faded ... |

<Maybe the wrong spelling by Mikenas became the source for other publications using the name "Skibiniauskas".> Interesting how one mistake made someone regarded as authoritative can become generic and widely repeated. "Skibniauskas" it is, then. ... |

Found this, sorting through my stuff. Has more significance now than it did! "Waba Maa", 26 March 1932, page 6

| |
| chesshistoryinterest: The 1931 Olympiad in Prague (11-26 July 1931) started just 5 days after the end of these matches. So they were probably training matches for it. Curiously, given the match results, Mikenas was Board 1 for the Lithuanian team, while Vistaneckis was only Board 3 (where he |

| chesshistoryinterest: <hemy> Butnorius sounds like he was a really great guy from what you say. One wonders why such bad things happen to such good people. His website has indeed disappeared/been taken over, as I found. The tables on the "Margiris" relate only to events that Arlauskas ... |

Sorry to keep querying this one - something is still not right. If we take your score for the 8 players listed of <18.5:11.5>, then add your own score <I played on board 7 against Gennadi Govashelishvili and fished 2.5:1.5, winning the last ... |

| chesshistoryinterest: I've copied relevant discussion on the Baikovicius page of this game to here: chesshistoryinterest: <I am wondering about your game against Aleksander Kliuch here: N Kasimov vs Aleksander Kliuch, 1971
