LOL @ "note for Kevin." Very funny -- hey, I'm just trying to help. btw, Misha is also an International Judge of chess composition (1964). haha. But, seriously, his father was an impressive composer, in his own right, and he deserves the focus today -- and my name deserves no place in that tribute.
ReplyDeleteThe "note for Kevin" was intended as a friendly poke. Your help and corrections are always welcome, since we try (among other things) to provide accurate information. As you know, it is always difficult, especially when mistakes are unknowingly copied and transmitted to the next generation.
DeleteMisha's father Slobodan certainly deserves to be quoted in twomover anthologies and therefore on this blog too. Milan Velimirovic certainly knows more about him.
Misha will be celebrated too, when his time comes. Please be patient until June. However, I'm not sure about Misha being International Judge since 1964, because he was born in 1964 :-)
