I'm very much interested if Fred posts a bridge answer to a topic on this forum. I then know that it is an answer from a highly appreciated and succesful World Class player - and that I should not have too much doubts about his answer. (And it looks that topics also gets more interest by others if Fred is posting on it).
I also liked Rado's posts (I think he is World Class as well?), but it looks he is not posting anymore.
...
Can somebody tell me if other (sub-) World Class Players are posting here. (I'd like to know their forum name, their level and what they reached and if possible their real name).

EricK's profile says he is in England, so I doubt he is EOK.

That is not me I am afraid!

When I chose that nickname it never really occured to me that I might get confused with a world class player.

If there is any confusion, a quick read of some of my posts will clear it up.

EK aren't very common initials in the general polpulation but they seem to be more common in bridge players (Kokish, Kantar and Kaplan spring to mind) and motorcycle stunt riders (Evil Kneivel and Eddie Kidd)

If EOK posted on here, that would be mandatory reading for ALL of my students.

LOL Eric....

I am sure that you have had the miserable misfortune of being confused with Erik Kokish on many occasions... the unknowing kibbers used to sit there in awe as you took an obtuse line in a contract and then they viciously argued amongst themselves as to why this particular line was an expert one....

But as you rather self-effacedly pointed out the confusion is quite easily cleared up...
