Talk:Vera Menchik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is inaccurate in relation to where she lived/died. She lived in Gauden Road Clapham London SW4, which was bombed during the first V1 missile attack on 25th June 1944 (during World War II). Sources: BCM Magazine Bound Edition (June/July 1944). Vera is listed in the obituaries, which was extracted from the West London Chess Club Gazette (she played for the club at that time). The "buzz bomb" hit her home, her mother and sister Olga (also a good chess player) were killed as well. Ironically, the nearby bomb shelter was untouched.
