...was a US Junior Champ in the 70's. Supposedly he got hooked on drugs,and after scoring 0/9 in a 1977 Futurity,vanished,and was never seen again. Stories have come out that he committed suicide,went insane and died in an asylum,is in prison for stock fraud or some such,etc.Does anyone have any info about this player,or about other well known players,who for one reason or another, have dropped off the chess radar screen?
