Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-14-18  PhilFeeley: The Canbase website (http://canbase.fqechecs.qc.ca/canba...) has another 50 or so of his games. He seems to have had a career from '74-04, and came back to chess in retirement, like Leon David Piasetski, although the database from above does list a few from '80-'81.
