:lol: He was a renown collector of multi-language draughts literature--and his library was one of the finest that the world has ever seen. "Checker Trivia" question of the Day"? Who was this good friend of Louis Van Deven's and where would one go to see his very famous draughts collection? :lol: "Mr. Checkers"
