  FSR: Can some editor please fix the second reference in Murray's bio? It should be https://www.nwchess.com/nwcmag/pdf/...

  FSR: This player lives in the state of Washington. His FIDE rating card erroneously states that he's Canadian. I have corresponded with him, and he explained that this was due to an organizer's mistake. He asked FIDE to fix it, but they wanted several hundred dollars to do so, so he just left it as is.
