Can someone put me in touch with Ian Leko

Post by Paul McKeown » Wed Sep 19, 2018 8:22 pm

Hi,

Richmond Juniors have a cheque for £35 for a grading prize for Ian Leko dated from 9 October 2016.

We would dearly love to pay him what he is owed, but we seem to have lost communication.

Ian, if you are out there, please get in touch.

Best wishes
Paul McKeown

Try at Imperial College. But he may have left. The cheque is out of date and why not put it back into your congress pot.

The debt is one which we would like to honour if at all possible.

We like to pay out our prizes, even at some inconvenience, otherwise our statement of "guaranteed prizes" would be rendered meaningless.

Ultimately it might end up like that, of course, if all attempts to make contact fail, but happily I have been now been given a possible mobile number, which I will try this weekend.

Sadly, the mobile number that was passed on to me by another arbiter is no longer in use. Can anyone help?

Out of curiosity, how long do most tournaments leave prizes unclaimed before declaring them expired?

(Don't worry, Ian, if you are out there. Richmond Juniors won't drop this one before the end of the year, at least.)

Paul - Fortunately Ian Emerik Leko has a distinctive second name which meant he could easily be traced on LinkedIn. For the past year or so, it seems that he has been working for Coca Cola in Croatia. Hope that is some small, although possibly only very small, assistance.
