Apart from Lombardy's own chess merits, according to Wikipedia:
- he was the only World Junior Champion to win the title (year 1957) with a perfect score;
- he won three individual Gold medals between the Men's Chess Olympiads and the World Student Team Tournament (Under 26 Years Old)
Lombardy offered a meaningful support to Bobby Fischer during the 1972 match
As a 2016 ChessBase article reported that GM Lombardy was facing serious financial problems, please know that his chess autobiography is available through his website: http://williamlombardychess.com/books/
and on the same site he offers private chess lessons
