Most sources (e.g., wikipedia, but more importantly
Jeremy Gaige's
Chess Personalia) claimed
Menachem Oren was born in 1903. Oren's Obituary (
Shachmat, no. 7, Dec. 1962, p. 3) has no exact birth date. However,
Shlomo Kandelshine's book noted above claims (p. 13 and back cover) that he was born in December 1902, in Channukah, the Jewish Holiday, which that year took place Dec. 12th-19th, 1902. It seems likely he was really born in late 1902.
There's an interesting game that Akiba Rubinstein and Menachem Oren played. Menachem Oren had Black. Rubinstein played some nice attacking moves. I will also memorise this chess game, as I have already memorised so many historical chess games.
