| Biographical data |
| Name: Vančura, Josef |
| Also known as: Dr. J. Vandas |
| Born: 21 Feb. 1870 |
| Died: 26 May 1930 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige, in Chess Personalia has 'Jan Vančura', but Siegfried Hornecker in an article at ChessBase makes it clear that this was Josef Vančura, senior. Gaige has 'Vandas' at Prague 1909, while Di Felice has 'Vančura, J.'. Časopis českých šachistů (vol.3, pp.115, 139) have 'Dr. J. Vandas' and 'Dr. Vandas'. Národní Listy of 10 Dec. 1908 indicates that 'Dr. Vandas' is a pseudonum. |
