Then followed his career. Remember when he was homeless in Los Angeles
then when he got a million bucks for defying the president by going to Belgrade to play a championship, then to the Phillippines and married there for a while, then to Budapest staying with a woman national champion, then finally to Iceland dying there, Iceland being the only country that have him asylum.
He was near the most highly rated player, his mom or was a Hungarian immigrant.
He was not a happy human being, his life excluded anything but the game.
An interesting bio, it appears.l to be, of a troubled grand master.
Saw earlier that you said you were a junior master. Don't find it hard to believe.
