Nov-01-09  Prugno: The Player of the Day is currently in action at the World Senior Championship in Trentino (Northern Italy). Website: www.arcoworldchess.com

I wonder if CG is thinking of putting up a special page for this event?

Nov-01-12  asianwarrior: <Prugno> I hope so!
Nov-01-12  waustad: Happy 80th!
Nov-01-12  waustad: Here one can find many more details and games from his play in the olympiads: http://www.olimpbase.org/players/s2...
Nov-01-20  Delboy: My one and only ever win against a grandmaster was against Yair Kraidman (of course it was just a simul). I was rated about 500 points below him, and managed one of these Nxe4 winning combinations in a Sicilian Dragon. He was very gracious in defeat
