Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-30-06  Whitehat1963: Is this "jerk" in Russian or another Eastern-European language? And does his name mean that the games listed were played before he became a jerk or that he is against all jerks, against being a jerk or against jerkiness in general?

O.k., I'll stop being such a jerk now!

  TheAlchemist: Judging by his name and the places he's played, he should almost certainly be Croatian. And it's pronounced "Yoor'-koh-vitch"
