  3. I wish I knew. I have tried several times to find information on Lajos Szedlacsek. You might contact the USCF to see if they have anything in their archives. Also, the owner of the Best Ever Sports Talk Blog may be able to help. He has researched Ohio Chess Bulletins to put together a list of Ohio champions. If you find anything I would love to share with my readers!
