Etaoin initiated this thread on our facebook group ... so I'll just quote her concerning the rules of this quiz thread. There essentially are none:
The no-holds-barred rolling quiz thread. You may use whatever search engine or printed reference work you choose to consult, should the answer not come immediately to mind. You may consult the I Ching or scrutinise the entrails of any animal corpse you like, although I would urge you not to commit murder in order to do so. You may even ask a more knowledgeable friend, but if you do, perhaps consider tempting them to join our burgeoning group, because they sound like our type of misfit.
Some question just came to my mind, and I wonder if you can figure this out with google:
Which chess player has 2 grandmaster titles? As far as I know, there is only one ... but I can't completely rule out that there are more than that. If you find other ones than the one I'm thinking of, I'll at least feel enlightened.
Edit: I actually found 2 players who qualify ... can you name one of them?

I didn't actually know Piorun for being a great solving afficionado. How did you find that out?
