Feb-17-10  whiteshark: Happy Birthday!
Dec-25-10  wordfunph: "Against a strong illogical player, I experience hard times, being frequently incapable of predicting my opponent's very next move. GM Arthur Kogan belongs to this category. He thinks in an original and creative manner; I have a dreadful score against him."

- GM Dov Zifroni
