The Nazi tournament in 1942
I think the following text is somewhat problematic, quote: ''The last opinion is curious as Alekhine (World Champion), Keres (pretendent for the title), Bogoljubow (former World Champion challenger), Stoltz (winner, ahead of Alekhine, at Munich 1941), and Junge (co-winner, with Alekhine, at Prague 1942) made Munich 1942 the world's strongest tournament in 1942. The next-strongest tournaments were Salzburg 1942, New York (US Championship) 1942, Mar del Plata 1942, Prague (Duras Memorial) 1942, and Moscow (Championship) 1942.''

1) Apart from Keres none of the other players was exactly world's top class. Bogoljubov was what, 53 years old in 1942 and was way past his prime then. Stoltz and Junge? Give me a break. 2) The fact that there were no other stronger tournaments in 1942 doesn't mean that the tournament had a very strong line up.

Anyway I think there is a problem in giving the Nazi-organized bogus "European Championship" such a prominence in this article and I propose either removing or axing down the section to a sentence or two. Dr. Loosmark 19:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you're right. It's certainly a problem just on the grounds that this is WP:SYNTH and basically an editorial opinion.  If we have a source that critiques Fine's comment we could mention it and attribute it to the source.  We actually don't seem to have a source for the Fine comment either, so even though I think it's very possible that Fine did write that, it should be sourced or removed too.

2006 Women's bronze
FIDE has the tournament results in an Excel spreadsheet linked from this page: http://www.fide.com/index.php?option=com_fidecalendar&view=archiveview&aid=206. It looks to me like Lilit Mkrtchian (ARM) did place 3rd on tiebreak out of 9 players on 7.5 points. Natalia Zukhova was one of the 9 on 7.5, but her tiebreak score was 9th place.

Sorry, it seems it wasn't necessarily tiebreak but perhaps playoffs. TWIC 598 has the results after playoffs which agree with FIDE. The link that was in the article was TWIC 597 which doesn't show the tiebreak. Quale (talk) 03:22, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
