Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-25-13  PhilFeeley: Only 4 games? 365chess.com lists about 45, still pretty low for a 2200 rated player. We went to high school together and played for our school team, and at the RA. He was always much better than I, but moved to Calgary where I lost touch with him. I met him again in 1987 when he came to Vancouver to play. Does anyone know why he stopped playing? "It's Canada." is a pretty good answer, but maybe there's a fuller one.
Jul-25-13  BlackFront: Be nice to know how 365chess.com puts together its voluminous DB. I have a suspicion that its a collective data dump of every other public DB.
