[edit] Polish Chess Championship

Thanks for creating the Polish Chess Championship article. If you are interested in creating an article on Poland's official chess organization (Polski Zwiazek Szachowy?), that would be great. We need more articles in Category:Chess organizations. Ideally we'd have an article on every national chess organization, but since I'm only fluent in English there aren't very many that I can write. 165.189.91.148 16:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Furman

Thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed it, but of course there's no telling who I may have upset ... if I get a lot of heat, I may have to blame you!!!! - Brittle heaven 22:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki

I'd like to add interwiki links to the (relatively few) articles I create, but unfortunately my language skills outside of English (really just American English at that) are severely lacking. It's certainly a good idea, and I may give it a try. Quale 01:43, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lone Pine International

Thanks for fixing my blunder on Florin Gheorghiu's country. I don't know how I got that wrong. It looks like I had it right in the text describing the 1979 tournament, but botched the table. Quale 20:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lone Pine International and Roman Dzindzichashvili

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that Dzindzichashvili was a U.S. citizen when he won Lone Pine in 1980. The information I had when I created the article indicated that Dzindzi had emigrated to the U.S. in 1979 but did not have U.S. citizenship until after his Lone Pine victory. I think at the time he still had Israeli citizenship, and was not competing for the U.S. team in the Olympiads and wasn't eligible for the U.S. Chess Championship. In 1978 he was on the Israeli Olympiad team and in 1984 on the U.S. team. He didn't play in the 1980 or 1982 Olympiads. He didn't play in the 1980 or 1981 U.S. Championships, and I suspect that he wasn't eligible until 1983 when he won. This is discussed briefly in the March 16–26, 1980 section. The Lone Pine page already states that Dzindzi was living in the U.S. since 1979, but if he wasn't eligible for the U.S. Championship or Olympiad team in 1980, then I think Israel is the correct country affiliation.

[edit] Grandmasters - title years

Hi Pjahr, First off, thank you very much for your work in the cross-linking the English and Polish wikipedia. It is really appreciated. An another issue, I noticed that the Polish wikipedia has a lot more grandmaster bio's than on here (over 200 more!). Also the bios are in most cases more complete. Great job! I noticed it while working on the List of chess grandmasters, where the Polish wikipedia was really helpful in providing title years for a lot grandmasters. I was wondering if there is a source that you know of, where we can find more title years? We are still missing over 100 of them. Also we are still missing quite a few birth dates (they are marked with "00"). I think the List of chess grandmasters would be a good page to have on the Polish wikipedia too, since you have so many of them there would be a lot of blue links! Best regards, Voorlandt (talk) 20:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I have the old fide lists since 1971 from this website, unfortunately, the grandmaster flag only appears in the lists from 1998. On your files from 1990, do you have the grandmaster flag? Regards, Voorlandt (talk) 09:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't have any of the flags for 1990-1998, so it would be great if you could send me the files for those years! My email is voorlandt@gmail.com. (I think I can receive up to 10MB per email). Thanks a lot in advance! Voorlandt (talk) 11:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much for sending them! I am sure with these files I can complete most (if not all) title years. Thanks again! Voorlandt (talk) 12:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
