Oct-24-10    rapidcitychess: Could it be? User: Zkid This isd what he uses on ICC too... Hmmm.... :) Dec-26-10    twinlark: I'm surprised no-one has picked up on the USA's latest world champion yet. He's even home grown! He's picked up a cool 63 points this last two months and shouldn't be long before he's a GM. Feb-05-11    notyetagm: http://main.uschess.org/images/stor...
