Fischer and Euwe at the Olympiads

Continuing with Fischer - Euwe, OL 1960, I had planned to do a summary of the players' records at the different Olympiads in which they participated. It turns out it's already been done...

Fischer, Robert James

Euwe, Machgielis

...The results have everything you could ask for: individual scores, team scores, career scores, medals. The only thing I didn't see was an easy way to find other players, so I concocted a Google search...

Results 1 - 10 of about 7,060 from olimpbase.org for inurl:players.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Aolimpbase.org+inurl%3Aplayers

...Add a player's name to the search string, e.g. 'Hook', and away you go. Fantastic! Thanks, Olimpbase!
