  chancho: Whatever happened to Ilya Gurevich?
Jul-21-07  Calli: He is too busy making money on Wall Street. Most talented chess players in North America are playing poker or stocks, it seems.
Jul-21-07  RookFile: Yes, that's right. Who could blame them, really, for not spending all their time in a profession almost guaranteed to pay you peanuts?
