What could be more gratifying than a chance to present an interesting site scrupulously prepared by the colleagues? To say nothing about the articles and comments of Yugoslav grandmasters, the www.sah.vrsac.com / www.chess.vrsac.com website impresses with its FIDE rating database going as far back as 1990. This is really something that can make statistics-minded people happier. To support my point, I submit an information on three Ukrainian chess players that has been taken from the chess.vrsac.com database. Beg your pardon, I do not have to go far for the examples. (M.G.)
