Did Steve Shutt miss the deadline?? Several interesting facts have come out of this Candidate's Statementgate Affair. An e-mail was sent to the candidates setting February 10 as the deadline for submitting a statement for the April Chess Life.

My dear friend Wlod, of Polish origin, has learnt from his German masters. And he is a fine pupil, following these historical, never surpassed examples with love, admiration and veneration.
