Birth date

[edit]

Given in the article as 21 February 1936, this seems to be supported by most reference books from say 1980 onwards, including Gaige, Golombek and modern FIDE records. According to some earlier reference books however, incl. Sunnucks, Brace and Kazic (also an official FIDE record), his date of birth seems to have been accepted as 21 May 1936. Does anyone have any other reliable sources? Is it worth a note in the references section to show the discrepancy? Brittle heaven (talk) 03:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If in doubt I'd go with Gaige, he has a very good reputation for accuracy. http://chesshistory.com/winter/extra/gaige.html MaxBrowne (talk) 05:34, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
