Kudos to the extraordinary and dedicated coaching of Sinclair Wilkinson. Four members of the Olympic teams sent to Budapest (3 women and one young man) grew up being coached by Sinclair Wilkinson, yet FIDE Delegate Margaret Murphy never thanked him, mentioned him, or extended him any credit for his longstanding contribution to VI chess. He himself was on the VI Olympic chess team three times and has carried his chess students to 14 USCF National K-12 Championship tournaments at various locations in the continental U.S.
