Mar-19-14  Caissanist: Most of the 1970s games here are probably by Gary's younger (and much stronger) brother Greg.

  perfidious: <Caissanist> So far, I have confirmed that three of the four games listed as 1973, plus the game from 1985, were indeed played by Greg De Fotis-the win over Suttles appears to have an incomplete score here. You are probably correct about the loss to Podgaets as well, although I have been unable to get another source for that game so far.

Will send on corrections for the known errata.
