What would really be a gas would be it the American version were available. Then the two could be interlaced together. Jun-06-14    keypusher: Thanks, PB. Crackin' soundtrack.

Horowitz split his games against Flohr, and Pinkus drew both his games against Lilienthal. Fine and Kupchik each drew one of his two games. Denker (on Board 1 over Reshevsky, surprisingly), Reshevsky, Kashdan, Seidman, and Santasiere all got blanked. Jan-12-24    Olavi: Match of the Century.
