Review for B-class[edit]

Here is my assessment of the article (this version) against the criteria for B-class.

"The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary."
No problem on this side.
"The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies."
No problem on this side
"The article has a defined structure."
No problem on this side, although I would consider merging the sections "Personal life" and "Education and religious career", one way or another.
"The article is reasonably well written."
No problem on this side.
"The article contains supporting materials where appropriate."
No problem on this side. I would suggest to add a diagram for the notable game, and maybe links to the games in the game viewer of www.chessgames.com.
"The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way."
No problem on this side, as far as it is possible to present a chess article in an accessible way.

So I think the article is worthy of B-class, and I will raise it as such. SyG (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
