Jeremy Gaige
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeremy Gaige (born 1927) is an American chess archivist and journalist. He is known for his work collecting and publishing tournament results and basic biographical data on chess players. Hooper and Whyld call his works "scrupulously written" and "a source of reference for chess journalists and writers all over the world".[1] Gaige's 1969 book, A Catalog of Chess Players and Problemists, contains about 3000 names with dates and places of birth and death. Chess writers began sending him information, and Chess Personalia (1987) is greatly expanded, listing about 14,000 names with dates and places of birth and death along with references to sources of biographical information.
