8th place

The article says that she was "8th at Folkestone 1933" - as if it was an accomplishment. She was 8th out of eight. She lost all 14 games. Bubba73 ^{(You talkin' to me?)}, 05:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, she did not lose any games there since she simply couldn't afford to participate. The Austrian Chess Federation had no money and in one of the biggest scandals in its history had players finance their own participation on the chess olympiad. Gisela Harum was unable to appear, even though she was allowed to play. Source: Wiener Schachzeitung 1933, especially: Die Schacholympiade in Folkestone.
