CG Librarian: OK, here are a few things I wanted to mention: 1. I got a copy of Chess Personalia (quite a while ago now) :) 2. The reason CG put a hyphen in Spanish double last names was so the database software didn't get confused about what the last name was (for things like the Player ...

CG Librarian: <Slaven MNE> You're right. We also had the wrong Georgiev. I think the error must have gotten propagated from the official site.

CG Librarian: Here's the situation with incorrect game scores for this tournament: we first received many truncated games, then the correct versions. I've removed all the incorrect duplicate games that affect the leaderboards. If you see more please submit a correction slip on them.

May-09-11  Everyone: Hello!
May-09-11  dakgootje: well come to the sight! Is there a, Sigh, lend-notice here? Guess your time will be overbooked for the time being :/

Hehe, that was bad xD I shall blame the earlyness of day - although objectively that is no excuse. It is now.

May-09-11  Benzol: Hello CG librarian. Like <crawfb5> I like your avatar. Hope that it won't just be one way traffic and that you will post occasionally on at the kibitzers cafe or on other premium member forums. I think we're all looking forward to a beneficial relationship chesswise with you.

Cheers.

May-09-11  suenteus po 147: <CG Librarian> Welcome to the surge that is chess game archiving, research, and corrections. I hope I speak for a number of my friends and kibitzers when I say we look forward to working with you. As you much as you will assist us and the site, I hope I and my colleagues can be of equal service to you.

  CG Librarian: Thanks everyone. It's a great community here and I know it'll be fun working with you.
May-09-11  TheFocus: <CG Librarian> Wonderful! It will be great working with you. I can see that several of us historians have already dropped in.

Love the avatar. Don't let mine scare you.

May-09-11  wordfunph: <CG Librarian> should be only one player page for Ewald J Gossmann and Ewald Gossmann, thanks.
May-09-11  wordfunph: <CGL> it should be Buenaventura Villamayor and not Buenaventura Bong Villamayor.

GM Villamayor's nickname is Bong.

May-09-11  wordfunph: <CGL> R Nava and Roderick Nava as one player page.

  CG Librarian: Thanks <wordfunph>, but please use the correction form (only post it here if you have a question about the correction). I've fixed Gossmann and Nava, but since we get games under the name Bong Villamayor and he's known by that name, I think we'll keep it as it is.
May-10-11  wordfunph: ok, thanks <CGL>..
May-10-11  Ragh: <CGL> Where is the link for game correction form?

<Spot an error? Please <submit a correction slip> and help us eliminate database mistakes!

This game is type: RAPID (Disagree? Please <submit a correction slip>.)>

Question to all:

<Dr.*> Wolfgang (Volfgangs) Hasenfuss (Hazenfuss) (born 1900, date of death unknown) was a Latvian chess master of Baltic German ethnicity.

Wolfgang R Hasenfuss

R V Hazenfuss

Problem: Does anyone know what <R> stands for? e.g. via scoresheets

Sources (indicating that this is the same player):

http://www.redhotchess.com/chess/gr...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B6...

* personal guesswork, in German books you can find indications for the title ~ <Dr.Hasenfuß> lettischer Fernschachspieler

  Annie K.: <CG Librarian> I never noticed that one. Good to see that you know your way around the place so well already! :)
May-12-11  Jack Bauer: A blonde goes into a library and says, “Hello. I’m here to see the doctor.”

The librarian replies, “This is a library.”

So the blonde lowers her voice and says, “Oh sorry!” Then whispers, “I’m here to see the doctor.”

  chessgames.com: Re: Reshevsky vs J Kostro, 1968

A correction slip reads: <In Reshevsky's book "The Art of Positional Play", moves 63-66 do not take place. White's 63rd move is Kg4, (which you have as move 67). Then all proceeds as normal and the game ends with the same position but on white's 75th move instead of 79th.>

Rather than try to reconstruct this game based on the description above (which is always a hassle, due to the need to renumber the moves), we tried to locate an alternate PGN for this game at Chesslab, 365chess, etc. Unfortunately they all have the same 79 moves we have. Does anybody have PGN for this game which follows the version in The Art of Position Play, ending on move 75?

Also, the score we have seems to make perfect sense. Do you suppose it's possible that old Sammy snipped a few moves out of the book for the sake of clarity?

  Phony Benoni: <chessgames.com> re: Reshevsky vs J Kostro, 1968

No proof, but a couple of comments. There would have been a time control at move 72, so the sequence makes perfect sense as a time-saver for Reshevsky, a notorious time-pressure addict.

The moves might have been stripped as part of publication. As I recall, the games were originally published as a column in Chess Life/Chess Life & Review before being collected in the book. Either publisher might have snipped the unnecessary moves to fit the space available.
