Dec-20-07    DarthStapler: Bang Bang! Feuerstein! Dec-22-07    Petrosianic: The most interesting thing I can think of about Feuerstein, is that he used to hold the record for biggest gap between US Championship appearances. He played in his first one in 1956, and his next one in 1972. I think Saidy broke the record recently, though, by playing in one of the US Championship Swisses a couple of years ago.
