Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-10-15  zanzibar: I wonder if he's related to Roberts Skuja or Aivars Skuja.

His name in Cyrillic, from note (3) is <Харийс Скуя>

(Need I mention I think <CG> should include Cyrillic name where appropriate, for completeness)

RUSbase's earliest game of his is from 1950.

Beware, google like to translate <Скуя> as <Skuya> and not the correct <Skuja>.

Feb-12-15  zanzibar: Exploring my FIDE archives, I only have <Skuja, Harijs> from 2005-04 to 2013-07 (last game).

From this sample of data, his highest rating is 1990, reached in 2007-04.

His final rating was 1930.
