We are drafting profiles for leading figures in chess in Virginia, including:

• GM Lubomir Kavalek, the strongest player ever to live in Virginia.
• Woody Harris, longtime editor of the Virginia Chess Newsletter.
• Pete Shaw, coach of the most successful scholastic teams in Virginia history.

Please get in touch with us if you knew any of these players, or have information about them that would be interesting to readers of the VCF newsletter.
