Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-01-08  pawnofdoom: 1954-2004 I believe. I'm surprised no one else kibitzed here before. He came to a sad end in late 2004 I think when he died of a heart attack. Now they have the Richard K Delaune Memorial Tournament every year. He played in Virginia and the DC area (in the US, of course) while he played and his USCF rating was almost as high as 2500.
Dec-28-13  Eastfrisian: He was born in Chattahoochee, Georgia.

He won the Virginia state championship in 1974, 1975, 1981 and 1985.

A photo of him can be found here:http://nezhmet.wordpress.com/catego...
