He seemed to win every Northwest tourney for about 3 years. Unfortunately illness interrupted his progress and he was never able to return to his former strength. I knew Bob pretty well in those days. He, Peter Biyiasis and other BC luminaries crashed at my pad when they were in Seattle. |

| Jul-13-08 | | whiskeyrebel: I got paired with Mr. Zuk once at an Oregon open around 30 years ago. Ordinarily I'm eager to play a strong master, but after having watched him win tournament after tournament for years in Portland as a kid, I was terrified. I played a feeble center-counter against him and got wiped off the board. |

| Jul-18-08 | | ForeverYoung: I recall that Mr. Zuk played an impressive game vs. Jay Collins from an Oregon Open in the early '80s. |

| Dec-17-12 | | thelittleboyblue: Wondering about Zuk Winter. I played in Washington open in January 1970 and won 7-0.
In that period I play many tournaments in Washington, Oregon, and B.C. Canada. I had better success in US than I did in Canada. There are a lot of myths going around about the number of games that I supposedly won in a row. I don't recall how many it was but as I had success in that period the number of won games grew like pinnocio's nose. Still alive and hanging tuff.
