GM Peter Szekely is supposed to have died in 2003, at the age of about 48. But did he? Here is a quote: "We Szekelys have a right to be proud, for in our veins flows the blood of many brave races who fought as the lion fights, for lordship. Here, in the whirlpool of European races, the Ugric tribe bore down from Iceland the fighting spirit which Thor and Wodin game them, which their Berserkers...

Mike Nolan has developed some very interesting statistics concerning the geographical distribution of adult and junior members in the USCF. What surprises me is that Mike Nolan wasted that effort by sending them to the one group who will make no use of those statistics. I am wondering why Mike does not post them here.
