  GrahamClayton: Sulik scored 7/13 at Buenos Aires in 1940, followed by 8/17 at Mar Del Plata in 1941. Sulik then left for England where he enlisted in the Polish Army. He would take part in the Allied advance through Italy.

Jul-23-10  ozmikey: Sulik was still playing in the Australian Championship in 1980, at age 73...and he made a quite reasonable score (+3=4-5).
May-15-11  SvetlanaBabe: I'll never forget his almost picket fence score in the 1976 South Australian Championship.I watched his last round game when he graciously drew quickly with his relieved opponent. He was obviously an IM strength player well into his senior years.
