I suppose the 1956 is the quick rating.

No, 1956 is the year he was born!

There is no quick rating in that list. The 2159 is the normal OTB rating.

Somebody must have thought the "ij" was a "y" since it looks close.

I rather foolishly assumed that Weyerstrass spelt his own name correctly when he joined this site.

I was not aware that you Europeons list the year of birth with the ratings. You will not find my year of birth listed with my ratings by the USCF.

Only in the official list of the Dutch Chess Association (KNSB) his name is spelled with "ij" instead of "y". So Mmy conclusion is that they did it wrong.....

All over the internet you will find Weyerstrass with y.

When you want to find him in the Dutch list you have to spell it with "ij"....

It is a Dutch list and in the heading of each column is mentioned what kind of detail is in the colomn.
If there is written: "geb" it means: geboren, which is 'born'.
