 <font color=teal><b><i> — — Thorbjorn Skaug was born in 1952 and died in 2020 a few days before his 68th birthday. He was a Norwegian chess player and enthusiast who lived in the Oslo region before moving to Fredrikstad in 2000. In addition to chess he participated in tennis and held a long-term season ticket for Fredrikstad football club matches. He worked as a psychologist and writer and contributed articles and reports to Norwegian chess club websites and publications.  — — Skaug began active club play in the late 1980s with As Sjakklubb and later transferred to Follo Sjakkforening where he competed in every longplay club tournament from the autumn event of 1988 through 1999. After relocating he joined Fredriksstad Schakselskap and represented that club in most subsequent events. Between 1988 and 2015 he took part in 22 Norwegian national tournaments known as Landsturneringer five times for As five times for Follo and thirteen times for Fredriksstad Schakselskap. In the 2002 national tournament he won the class 4 section while playing for Fredriksstad Schakselskap. He rarely entered team matches playing only three times for As and five times for Follo. He obtained the title of National Arbiter in 2013. His FIDE ratings which are now listed as inactive stood at 1612 for standard chess 1605 for rapid and 1633 for blitz.  — — Skaug consistently opened as White with the move 1.b4 the Orangutan or Sokolsky Opening and was known among Norwegian players as its leading local expert. He played this line regularly in club and national events and expressed greater satisfaction with draws achieved through it than with wins obtained by other means.  — — His style was that of a committed amateur who valued participation and the psychological and practical challenge of an unconventional opening over pursuit of high placements. He competed steadily for decades without nearing podium positions in major events yet never lost enthusiasm for the game and continued posting on club sites as late as October 2020.  — — Skaug left a legacy in the Fredrikstad and Follo chess communities as an enthusiastic organizer of humorous Christmas calendar puzzle competitions on club websites often featuring clever and nerdy themes. He also wrote match reports and light-hearted articles for local chess pages and once considered running for president of the Norwegian Chess Federation though the idea received limited support. Fellow players remember him for his consistent good spirits his devotion to 1.b4 and his ability to encourage younger members right up to the final weeks of his life.  — — </i></b></font> Note created: March 2026.
