[edit] Book

There is a book on Pupols: Larry Parr, Viktors Pupols: American Master, Thinkers' Press (1983), ISBN 0938650319, ISBN-13 978-0938650317. I don't have a copy, but if someone wants to expand this article, it is almost certainly the place to start. - Jmabel | Talk 01:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I have that book (two copies, actually, if anyone wants to buy one). Pupols is a fascinating character, and a legend in Northwest chess. He's beaten Seirawan many times, including after Seirawan "got good." I played Pupols at a U.S. Masters once. I was very lucky to escape with a draw. Krakatoa (talk) 01:26, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
