Feb-06-07  Chlipchlop: Always pleasure to see some of Oleg's games.
He wasn't a top class player, but he liked chess and good food, and I still like to see how he plays endgames. :)

  HeMateMe: this page is just BEGGING for a Ziggy themed puzzle clue.

Ziggy Marley, Ziggy Stardust, Zbigniew Brzezinski,...and thats just touching the surface of Ziggydom. A veritable zeitgeist of Zigginess could be revealed, of course, by zigging and zagging.
