Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-21-15  technical draw: I knew him but was unaware of his death. A great guy and an excellent tournament organizer. I watched the Spassky/Byrne match and I saw him nervously moving from place to place making sure everything was working well. There were no hitches in the match won by Spassky. RIP Narciso.
