Chess career

In 1967, Balshan played in the World Junior Chess Championship in Jerusalem, as Julio Kaplan won.[1]

Balshan represented Israel six times in World Student Team Chess Championships (1968–1972, 1974) winning the individual gold medal on fourth board, scoring 10/11, at Ybbs 1968.[2]

He played for Israel in the 20th Chess Olympiad at Skopje 1972, and won the individual silver medal at first reserve board (+10 –0 =6) there.[3] He also represented Israel in the 7th European Team Chess Championship at Skara 1980.[4]

In 1978/79, he took 15th in Hastings (Ulf Andersson won).[5] He tied for 1st-2nd with Jacob Murey at Ramat Hasharon 1979, and shared 17th at Gausdal 1982 (Maxim Dlugy won).[6]

gollark: There is also the "secondary processor exemption" thing, which caused the Librem people to waste a lot of time on having a spare processor on their SoC load a blob into the SoC memory controller from some not-user-accessible flash rather than just using the main CPU cores. This does not improve security because you still have the blob running with, you know, full control of RAM, yet RYF certification requires solutions like this.
