His sisters nephews until this point were considered the closest blood relatives and may also contest it, the US government i think is also seeking recompense for unpaid taxes. i hope the kids get it.

Hi Mad Rook
Russia bought one copy of 60 Memorable Games and printed

He asked his country for help. They did not even file a protest.
He was offered close to $1 million to put his name to chess set.
