"I suppose the 1956 is the quick rating. "
Jankrb:
"No, 1956 is the year he was born! "
Pricelss. 🙂
(By RJ's reckong me and Karpov both have a grade of 1951.)
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"....

If there is written: "geb" it means: geboren, which is 'born'.
