first comment

User:Ronald BeimelI noticed a reference to "8-9 year old professionals". To my knowledge, the youngest people to become professional did so at around ages 10-11, however I have no hard facts to back this up. Thoughts anyone?

Need to back up statements of computational complexity

I feel that is statements are made such as "go endgames are proved to be PSPACE-hard" or "life and death which are also known to be NP-hard" then external references should be made to those proofs. Maybe some of these are relevant?
