Biographical data
Name: Littman, Gustave  
   Also known as: Gustave Drexel
Born: 9 July 1916
Died: 3 Aug. 2010
 
Notes:
He changed his name from Littman to Drexel sometime between the 1940 U.S.A. Championship and the 1946 U.S.A. Championship. Tartajubow gives his date of birth and says he died 'at age of 94 on August 3, 2101'. If he was age 94, this must mean 2010.
