vital stats
[edit]According to the BCCF Email Bulletini #409 (https://www.chess.bc.ca/Bulletins/BCCFBulletin409.pdf) GM Duncan Suttles was born July 6, 1952 and recently died at age 68 on April 11, 2021. A Memoriam was also noted on nwchess.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.177.106 (talk) 12:48, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- That BCCF link has an article about a player named Daniel Scoones, with the birth and death dates you cite. The only mention of Suttles on the page is in an annotation to one game, which mentions that a move played by Scoones's opponent was a "Suttles specialty" (no first name even, I guess in BC everyone knows who Suttles is!).

Reference to American draft
[edit]The article states that Suttles "moved to Canada during the American draft." To anyone who knows about the many draft-age men who moved to Canada so as not to be drafted during the Vietnam War, this would suggest that Suttles was one of them. Clearly, he was not.
The exact date of the move is not given. The article does say that he played in the closed Canadian championship of 1961 at age 15. Therefore, he was not of draft age, nor were many men being drafted in 1961, when the American presence in Vietnam was tiny. Lacking the exact date, all we can say for sure is that he was not yet an adult, so he probably moved there because his family moved there. There is no reason to suggest that the American draft had anything to do with it. I'm substituting "moved to Canada as a child." JamesMLane t c
>>His family moved to Vancouver in 1952 in when his father, Wayne, a giant in the field of Pacific Northwest Anthropology, began teaching at UBC (and Duncan was 7 years old); but Duncan moved back to the U.S. with his family when his father began teaching at the University of Nevada (Reno) in 1963 and then Portland State University in 1966. Thus Duncan was 18 when his American family returned to the U.S., an age when he would have become draft eligible. According to both U.S. and Canadian law in 1963, dual citizenship could not be maintained past that age. Approximately 120,000 men were drafted in 1963 and the Viet Nam War was growing in scope and intensity. It's quite this was a factor in Duncan's choice of Canadian citizenship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.156.93.116 (talk) 07:03, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
