Okay, I suspect nobody other than me cares about this, but thanks to this Chessbase News article, I can finally put a face to the name regarding all the Gobet articles I've read.

Also, I really enjoyed Dr. Gobet's tribute to Adriaan de Groot titled "Adriaan de Groot: Marriage of two passions" at this link:

(Chessbase published a short obit on de Groot when he passed away in 2006, but Gobet's tribute is enlightening in its own way.)

I had exactly the same thought. I started so late in life that sometimes I think I'm doing well if I can just remember how the horsey moves. 😞
