Biographical data
Name: Opočenský, Karel  
   Also known as: Hradský
Born: 7 Feb. 1892
Died: 16 Nov. 1975
 
Notes:
Časopis Československých šachistů (1925, p.15) has 'Pokora' coming third at Trenčianske Teplicé 1924; Mudroň says that this was a pseudonym of Karel Opočenský. However, Pavel Matocha says that 'Pokora' was a pseudonym for Amos Pokorný, as does Thelen, while Opočenský used the pseudonym 'Hradský'. I will guess that the latter is correct.
