Frank Brady provided most of the material for Jerry G. Spann this issue, including the highly original and entertaining cover.

  • Palmaresul General Al Lui Florin Gheorghiu Florin Gheorghiu’S Overall Career Record
    20 April 2019 Chess Notes item 11302 This list of Florin Gheorghiu’s tournament and match results has been compiled by Florin Dănănău (Bucharest), who comments: ‘Turneu internaţional stands for round-robin tournament; meci-turneu de baraj means a double round-robin tournament; C. E. = European championship. C. M. = world championship. C. N. = national championship. The asterisk appended to 11 entries denotes that full information is currently lacking. In the case of open tournaments the figure is the number of players. The Romanian flag indicates contests played by Gheorghiu as a member of the national team. This record has been compiled from numerous sources, but mainly from the Revista Română de Șah, the Schweizerische Schachzeitung, non-Romanian newspaper archive websites (including www.e-newspaperarchives.ch) and Romanian newspapers available in paper form in Bucharest libraries. I have checked a few entries orally with Gheorghiu himself. In spring 2014 he nominally retired from competitive chess. Subsequent events, from 2014 to 2019, are unofficial and are listed, in italics, only for the sake of completeness. Additions and corrections to the list will be very welcome.’ PALMARESUL GENERAL AL LUI FLORIN GHEORGHIU FLORIN GHEORGHIU’S OVERALL CAREER RECORD Oraşul Concursul Rezultatul (loc//+/=/-) Perioada Town Contest Result (place//+/=/-) Period 1958 1 Bucureşti C.
