What happened to Emil Schlosser - wasn't he supposed to play? How is he doing? I knew him when he lived in Montreal years ago. He used to have a great time playing blitz with Laszlo Witt and Geza Füster. (hey - I found the umlaut - but I've probably left out some of the other Hungarian accents in those names)

Emil is doing well - he's a frequent visitor to Willowdale Chess Club and even beats me in blitz from time to time...
He was considering to play at Toronto Senior, but eventually decided that he can't commit 7 Tuesdays in a row for this event.
