Jan-28-04    Resignation Trap: Factor was a prominent figure in the Chicago area for many years. Nearly all of his chess career he was an American, but the best source of information on him is on a Polish website: http://www.astercity.net/~vistula/s... Apr-21-05    soberknight: "Fear Factor" (pun potential for games he won). Apr-05-08    biglo: Pity there are more than 10 wins of his in the database because you could have said he had the X Factor
