Uppsala, 9th December 1947. Eero Böök (🇫🇮) faces Gösta Stoltz (🇸🇪) in the 5th game of an 8-game match for the Nordic Championship. The match was drawn 4:4, with the players scoring one win each. ( 📷: unknown, Upssala Bild, via digitaltmuseum.se.) #chess

@DanielKingChess I remember as a kid somebody saying they played the Pirc and Bob Wade stepped in with the correct pronunciation adding “he is a personal friend of mine”.

Leonard Barden once greeted him very formally with ‘Grandmaster Purk’ (English style ) and received a curt put down as Pirc gave him the correct pronunciation of his name.

@erwinlami Hi Erwin, you were asking about the pronunciation of 'Pirc' in your broadcast from Malmö just now. The 'c' is pronounced like a German 'z', i.e. 'ts'.

@garylanechess I've been thinking of you often lately because there's a road between my home and the kid's daycare that's named in your honor.

@TUUR1 I saw Dr. James Macrae Aitken play at tournaments when aged in his 70s and his technical skills were still very high.
