Jan-02-20  Resignation Trap: Isn't this supposed to be Kazys Škėma, who moved to Boston in 1950 and later to Detroit? Michigan Champion 1961.??
Jan-02-20  Resignation Trap: Here is a Lithuanian publication edited by Kazys Skema: https://www.epaveldas.lt/recordDesc...
Jan-13-20  hemy: As <Resignation Trap> already noted, it is a Kazys Škėma.

"Leo Skema" was a mistake made in the tournament table of Augsburg 1946 tournament. https://www.schachbund.de/augsburg-...

A. J. Gillam. "Meerbeck 1946":
"6th-8th places were shared by the Lithuanians P. Tautvaisas (a national team representitive on several occasions), K. Skema (champion of Mazeiki, a town in Lithuania) and J. Repecka." http://www.devriesboeken.nl/schaken...
