  offramp: <Albertan: S.L. Narayanan wins Cattolica International> Is he Catholic?

I am sending good wishes over the globe for St Valentine's Day. I sent ❤️ to all chessplayers for St Valentine's Day but only two GMs replied.

Feb-14-24  Cecco: <offramp: <Albertan: S.L. Narayanan wins Cattolica International> Is he Catholic?> Cattolica is a charming Italian seaside city. As far as I know, membership of any religion is not required to access it, just as the requirements for entry onto national soil, that of a secular country by ancient tradition, do not include religious preferences.
