When we played chess for fun (!) he would be playing such strong novelties. I would be dying to go back and put it in my notes! He just had so many ideas in every line !

Krzysiek zżył się z Ukraińcami, przebywał na Ukrainie od kwietnia. Nie mógł patrzeć na cierpienia narodu ukraińskiego, co było jego głównym motywem, aby wziąć udział w starciach.
