In my notes, a member had left this message, "Your articles are great. Could you put something more about life of great chess players, some unknown facts about who they realy were. Thanks." As much as I appreciate any communiqué, this note had me a bit puzzled. Maybe it has to do with differences in interpreting the word great. But if my articles can be called great, then great chess players would not necessarily be a narrow term. Or maybe the problem lies in navigation. If that's the case, I intend to solve it right now by giving links to biographical entries I've made both here and on my other chess pages.
