WIKIPEDIA Automatic translation by Google (Sorry!):

"Israel (Bolk) Ben Baruch Dinar (Boruch Israel Dyner ; October 27, 1903 - February 13, 1979) was a master chess Polish-Belgian-Israeli, who was among the finest chess players species from the creator of Polish chess, known chess superpower. Dyner was one of the biggest chess players in Belgium, participated in 6 Belgian championships and won three national championships. Following these successes, he was declared a Belgian champion permanently and was awarded the title of chess artist. In 1949, upon his immigration to Israel, Dyner joined the Israeli chess team of the 1950s. His style of play was characterized by excellent tactics, which reflected his belief that fighting ability, tactical orientation, and durability were key to chess victory. Dyner was Optician by profession.

 

Born on October 27, 1903 to Esther Malka nee Miller Dyner and Israel Dyner in Warsaw, Russian Poland, in a very religious Jewish family of five children. Had a traditional education in his home from an early age. As a child, Dyner showed great talent in the game of chess and at the age of seven he played successfully with alumni, who expressed wonder at his high level and expected a promising future in the field.

 

Dyner made his first steps in chess competitions in Warsaw along with dozens of talented young chess players, most of them Jewish. Poland was then regarded as a unique school of chess power: "Subtle imagination creates, combined with deep position understanding and control of the end of the game, but with little theoretical knowledge in the field of openness" (Czerniak). This school matched Dyner's style of play. Upon graduation from the gymnasium, Dyner was sent by his parents to study optics in the city of Jena, Germany.

 

In 1930, his family emigrated to Belgium, settling in the Brussels capital, where Dyner first discovered his great talent in chess. He soon became one of the top players in Belgium, taking part in 6 Belgian championships, of which he won three times as Belgian chess champion. Following these successes, he was declared a Belgian champion permanently and was awarded the title of chess artist.

 

In 1936, Dyner married Tamar to the Mattress House. Tamar's family emigrated to Brussels in 1929 from Thessaloniki.

 

Israel Dyner was one of Belgium's top chess players, and participated in six Belgian championships:

 

1931 - Finished second in the Belgian Championship, after Varlin.

1932 - Won first place in the Belgian championship together with Victor Sultanbeieff.

1933 - Won first place in the Belgian Championship, with no title partners.

1935 - Won the Belgian Championships for the third time in Antwerp.

Following these successes, he was declared a Belgian champion permanently and awarded the title of chess artist.

 

1937 - Won fourth in the Belgian Championships held in Brussels.

1938 - Won sixth place in the Belgian Championship.

In addition, in 1936 and 1937, Dyner participated in two strong international competitions in Ostend. In these competitions, some of the major chess players of the time took part: Tartakower, Keres, Fine, Stahlberg, Lundin, Grob and others.

 

These years, which were the "golden age" of a Belgian chess Dyner, were interrupted at the outbreak of World War II.

 

The German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 interrupted Dyner's chess career when his family had to flee from Nazi terror while exchanging hiding places in occupied Europe.

 

The family wandered on the run to France and continued in the split, with Dyner having to continue his escape while his family (his pregnant wife and two-year-old daughter, Leah) hid in a monastery. After a while, Dyner returned to his family, continuing his escape with them to Toulouse, in southern France. When the Germans began sending Toulouse Jews to extermination camps , the family fled again to Nitza, where it managed to stay for about two years, during which Dyner won the Chess Championship of Southern France (the "Free") and his second home was born in September 1940.

 

In 1942, Dyner was forced to part with his family again, when he was posted to the extermination camp while his wife and two daughters hid for several months in the villages in the Alps. Dyner was rescued from death, after cutting his veils, and with the help of General Wari, former governor of southern France, rescued.

 

In March 1943, after the birth of his third (Jewish) Dyner, the Italians conquered Nitza, and the Dyner family was forced to hand over its daughters to adoptive families (worthy of the title of Righteous Among the Nations ).

 

In September 1943, after the Germans invaded the free zone of southern France, the family tried with its two older daughters, and had to leave their small home, which was a few months old (Jewish), in hiding in an orphanage (in a monastery). The family crossed the border into Switzerland, after a very hard walk in the mountains, with the help of Italian soldiers. The Dyner family was among the first refugees to cross the border into neutral Switzerland without licenses.

 

The Dyner family came to Lucerne, Switzerland, and with the help of a French Zionist organization and French friends, found the baby left behind in the orphanage in Nica. When they arrived in Lucerne, the family went through a difficult recovery period, during which Dyner's wife (Tamar) fell ill, and his two daughters, who were malnourished and softened, were again given to the institution.

 

Despite the family's predicament, the chess player got a bit of land in Lucerne, when the rumor that the Belgian chess champion was in town reached the local chess club, and Dyner was "recruited" to strengthen Lucerne's municipal team, and won a double meet on the Argau team on April 23, 1944 33 boards, which ended with a Lucerne victory 29:37. Dyner later won several chess competitions throughout Switzerland. A true expression of much appreciation for Dyner's chessmen's abilities can be read in Swiss newspaper articles of the time.

 

In September 1944, after the liberation of Belgium by the Allies , Dyner returned to Belgium, not before moving with his family in a reunion with the baby girl who had been left in the orphanage for about a year.

 

In March 1949, his fourth home, Etti, was born, and about six months later, in September 1949, Dyner immigrated with his wife and four daughters to Israel and settled in Rishon Lezion where he lived until his last day. There he opened a central optics store on the city's pedestrian mall. For a living he made a living as an optician, but most of his life continued to be centered around his tremendous talent as a chess artist, now as part of the Rishon Lezion Chess Club.

 

Rishon Lezion's chess club proudly absorbed Dyner, since by then high-level chess players had not yet appeared in the club. In the 1950s, Dyner participated in all important competitions in Israel , including four Israeli championships: (1951, 1953, 1955, 1957). In 1951 he shared 7-5, and in 1957 he shared fourth place.

 

From 1954 to 1955, Dyner appeared on the first panel of Rishon Lezion's Club (defined as "Rishon Lezion's Historical Composition"). In 1956, he joined the eternal champion of the time, the "Lasker" club in Tel Aviv, and became one of its outstanding players and accomplices to its greatest achievements, including winning the league championship in 1956 - 1959.

 

In 1960, Dyner returned to lead Rishon LeZion Club in the league and was one of the cornerstones of the team's design, which went on to win the National League, and even won the 1980 national championship .

 

One of Dyner's enthusiastic supporters was then Justice Minister Pinchas Rosen, who helped a great deal with the Israeli chess and later served as honorary president of the Israeli Chess Association .

 

At various times, Dyner was among the staff of the Israeli team, but due to the deterioration of his health condition did not appear in her games. Arab Chess Olympiad in Munich in 1958 won a competition test to determine Dyner selected and determined as a player 5th board, but gave up his trip because of his health.

 

The 1958 decade competition was the last one Dyner participated. From then on, Dyner only participated in league games, friendly games, youth training, simultaneous games and folk chess events.

 

In 1964, Dyner was integrated into the Israeli team surgeon's team at the Tel Aviv Olympics, during which Diner hosted the Russian chess player Michael Tal (world chess champion from 61 to 1960).

 

Dyner died on February 13, 1979, in his 76th year."
