Although Wenman was present in the chess world since the twenties of the 20th century and his bibliography includes tens of publications in many editions, no author was found to write his obituary after his death in 1972. Authoritative Oxford Companion to Chess containing more than 2,500 entries dedicates a large portion of entry Plagiarism to Wenman.
