English Chess Forum

Czech (formerly Czecholslovak) GM who was national champion in 1995.

In more recent years ran a widely acclaimed chess shop.

EDIT: it appears he does not have a Wikipedia entry which is pretty astonishing given their improved chess coverage in recent years.

Played him four times. Three draws and a loss. He was quiet but had a fluent command of the English language.
He died young. Commiserations to his family.
R.I.P.
