Sep-30-10		BobCrisp: <In 1981, at the Lone Pine tournament in California, Sammy Reshevsky offered a draw to John Fedorowicz. After letting his time tick down, Fedorowicz accepted. Reshevsky then denied he made the offer. There were several witnesses to Reshevsky’s offers, but the tournament director, Isaac Kashdan, eliminated all the witnesses, saying they were all Fedorowicz’s friends, and upheld Reshevsky’s fabrication. However, the game was resumed with Fedorowicz almost out of time and Reshevsky lost!> http://www.chessville.com/BillWall/... Game score must be incomplete because the final position here is roughly equal. Assuming its veracity, this story adds weight to the impression that Reshevsky, when it came to the chessboard, at least, was rather less than a gentleman.
