Apr-08-06   Autoreparaturwerkbau: One of uniquer ways to mate with single knight so far.
Apr-08-06   Jim Bartle: I doubt this is the same Vivek Rao, who I remember as a junior player around 1990. This game is from 1972.
Jul-16-06   psmith: <Jim Bartle> The IM Vivek Rao was 16 in 1987 when he won the high school championship (see http://www.nystar.com/chesscenter/h...)

So in 1972 he might have been one year old. Clearly not the same person.

I remember playing him in the early 80's in Pittsburgh. He was very impressive then (at about 12 years old).
