| Aug-27-05 | | teme: Nice poem. By the way I am Albanian. |

| | tpstar: <teme> Nice to meet you. Just so you understand, that song is about child abuse, but any joke or reference wasn't meant in any mean fashion regarding your compatriot. Our group is very clever, plus the name Luca is less common in the states. In fact, that's one of the themes of the song = a boy named Luka. |
|
| Aug-27-05 | | teme: Nice to meet you too, I had no idea that was about child abuse, I didnt know it was a song ethir. |

| | BishopofBlunder: That's why I put (VOR) after it. It is an acronym for Very Obscure Reference. Making obscure references is one of my (few) talents. My mind is full of useless knowledge. :) And yes, I was not trying to disparage Mr. Shytaj. |
|
| Aug-28-05 | | teme: Oh ok I didn't know what VOR was. |
|
| Aug-28-05 | | teme: Btw his name is not pronounced Luka. |

| Nov-27-08 | | Karpova: He played for Italy during the Dresden Olympiad (he still played for Albania at Turin 2006) and for the Italian Federation in general. Carlo Shytaj - his brother? |
|
| Nov-27-08 | | Prugno: <Karpova> Luca was forced to represent Albania in the past because he was granted Italian citizenship only last year, although he has been living in this country (in Bari) for about 15 years. Soon he will also be playing in his first Italian Championship. He is currently based in Rome, where he got his degree in biology just before the Olympiad started (which might explain his solid but not exceptional performance in Dresden). A great talent in both chess and science, as well as a very pleasant person. And yes, Carlo Shytaj is his older brother, a strong candidate-master level player. |

| Nov-27-08 | | Karpova: Thanks for the information, <Prugno>! Picture: http://www.chessbase.com/news/2008/... |
