Chess Players Birthdays

You've thought much about openings, endings and tactics. You've brutally defended your belief that this counter attack is more solid than the other. You have played a million games and have played against millions of players.

Have you ever asked yourself this:
"Which month of the year has the most number of chess grandmasters been born on?"


I needed an answer. I asked google, google replied: Mark Week's Chess Players Have Birthdays, Chess Players Prefer To Be Born On February, and Some Chess Players Fib About Their Birthdays.

In Philippine Chess, which month do we have the most number of birthday celebration for our 11 grandmasters? International Masters? FIDE Masters? Now the mess (in statistics) begins if we think about our National Masters.

I was about to do another search for birthday database when I thought of clicking Mark's latest post, Chessing with the Stars. Still has something to do with birthdays but on a deeper level, more feminine they say. Astrology and Horoscope!

Truth behind my post today:

"Happy Birthday to you Claire Dandan-Buenaventura"
