My father was born almost 100 years ago, on 19 March 1917.

I miss him a lot.

Unfortunately I cannot tell him how much I love him, but, with your help, I can help more people read about his life and his accomplishments as a Chess player.

There is a Wikipedia page about him in English and in 17 other languages:

 

  • Arabic
  • Bulgarian
  • Breton
  • Catalan
  • Dutch
  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Hungarian
  • Italian
  • Latvian
  • Norwegian
  • Norwegian Nynorsk
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Serbian
  • Spanish

 

Some of these articles have a page or two of content, others only a few lines.

The English version has some nice text though as I can see the Spanish and French versions have more information.

The Dutch version has a nice chess board.

The Hungarian version also has a table of his participation on the Olympic games.

The Russian version has a list of other results as well.

 

100 translations

 

I'd like to ask for your help updating the existing pages and translating them to other languages. It would be really nice if we could have it in 100 languages with substantial content for his 100s birthday!
