These were two of the top US players at one time. Neither one was born in the US. Can you name the countries where they were born?

Hey Susan, the name is on the table :).
Not the country names, they are not.
Walter Browne and Lubosh Kavalek! I got to play Walter in NYC in a blitz tournament and was crushed by him! He gave me a quarter if I would resign already, I still have that quarter!
