Comments

Is this list appropriate for Wikipedia? -- Fplay 08:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be much simpler (and quicker) to make a list of Non-Jewish chess players? There aren't that many.

Missing Name

In the page on Jewish chess players you have ommitted the name of Robert (Bobby) Fischer - rather a major oversight, would you not say? Of course, he is in Wikipedia, but there is no link to this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.227.200.21 (talk) 20:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Not that many? Anderssen, Morphy, Alekhine, Capablanca, Euwe, Petrosian, Karpov, Kramnik, Anand. Oh, and Magnus Carlsen is someone who's name the world will know soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.180.143.249 (talk) 20:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I miss at least one grandmaster Grünfeld(exact spelling?) (could be two different, but one Im sure of). Whom I presume was jewish. He was big in the 20:ies, surely later too. As I understand, its he with Grünfeld defence, an Indian defence variation with quick d7-d5 [Ernst Grünfeld]. He was one-legged. As he had experiences of famine, he was happy to receive his fee in potatoes. (it would probably be several sacks for a major article or a tournament prize)./StefanZ, Sweden90.231.255.39 (talk) 21:06, 26 March 2020 (UTC)/StefanZ Ps. Errata here: Ernst Grünfeld was not Jewish! Wikipedia article on him tells he did played tournaments in the Nazi ruled Europe. So he is confirmed a non Jewish Austrian./StefanZ 90.231.255.39 (talk) 00:05, 27 March 2020 (UTC)StefanZ[reply]
