108 and still counting! Someone should expand upon that Wikipedia entry (:

There's a better bio at chessgames.com. Zoltan was obviously a fighter. Not a single draw in his 11 games there (:

Many happy returns Mr. Sarosy. I wonder if you are still going to the gym every day?

.......and if you happen to be 54, then Zoltan was 54 the day you were born! Think about that.

Yes, and my personal trainer is 27, so I was 27 when she was born. Does anyone know the age of the oldest living Canadian?

Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ercentenarians In a couple of years, Mr Sarosy should make the list.

Congratulations Zoltan - we may have to have you type up on your own personal computer (which I believe you said you taught yourself when you were 100 years old!) an update on your biography you did for Scarborough Community of Toronto Chess News & Views, when I think you were 102? I'll need to go search for it to check the date you typed it up for me.
