| Aug-19-11 | | kardopov: Why did he stop playing competitive chess? I mean tournament plays that are NCFP rated? Surely he is still a player to reckon with. He is a very good positional player, very sound and solid. |
|
| Aug-19-11 | | kardopov: Much thanks to you rsoljcruz for updating us with Gerry Cabellon. I'm a fan of him during his playing days. Regards to him. Our friend Andy has just passed away.
