Set it up on the chessboard and fed the position to a few very strong computer chess programs. They all came up with the conclusion the guy is alive and well somewhere. You'll get a phone call in the middle of the night one day, dear uncle in Australia. In the meantime, many commentators are having fun developing theories. We need one for this: what is a matzeva doing for a man who is alive?

Our prayers for this man and his family
