  WannaBe: In the bio section "The following players were..." are duplicated, once in the middle and again at the end.

<offramp> Yes, it wasn't until Einstein's theory was proven that light actually reached light speed as we know it.

What would really be a gas would be it the American version were available. Then the two could be interlaced together.

  FSR: Not a lot of high points for the U.S. Herman Steiner on Board 6 was the only American to get a plus score. Horowitz split his games against Flohr, and Pinkus drew both his games against Lilienthal. Fine and Kupchik each drew one of his two games. Denker (on Board 1 over Reshevsky, surprisingly), Reshevsky, Kashdan, Seidman, and Santasiere all got blanked.
