Jul-08-10  wordfunph: happy birthday to GM Wesley So's kryptonite --- GM Holzke!
Jun-01-14  GumboGambit: On the whole, quite a dangerous player, particularly with Black, as he has upset Kasparov, So, Giri, and Georgiev.
Jul-08-23  whiteshark: <PotD> It seems he stopped playing chess 10 years ago.

I suppose he had to have a turn at being POTD someday, today was the someday.

He played in the 2022 World Senior Chess Championship for the over 50's. and scored 7½ from 11.
