Big Al was a gentle giant of a man who spread a lot of joy to those people who had the pleasure of meeting him. Relying on a excellent positional style and brilliant endgame play, Kveinys scored many a notable tournament victory. For one, he was Lithuanian Champion on five occasions. RIP Aloyzas Kveinys.
