Jun-29-09  WhiteRook48: Happy birthday
Jun-29-09  lentil: only 2 games from the 4th correspondence WC, in which Z was the winner?! The world begs for more games.
Jun-29-09  JohnBoy: This guy was one of the top correspondence players in the world for years - and he has precisely two notable games listed. One is an uneventful GM draw. This needs to be corrected.
Sep-05-11  wordfunph: he authored the Romantic Chess Openings..
