 | | TheFocus: Actually, this was an exhibition where Reshevsky played blindfold 10 seconds a move against ten players who had sight of the board. Reshevsky won 6 and lost 4. This was the first game between Reshevsky and Fischer, played before the Rosenwald Tournament. |

| | TheFocus: Right. Reshevsky won their first game in Rosenwald Cup '56, then Fischer beat him in this game, before RC '57. Would you believe this was my very first post?
And I made a mistake in it?
Some Fischer expert I turned out to be.
<Benzol> It's Bobby. |

| | Petrosianic: Opening night jitters. Still not as bad as Petrosian in that first game with Botvinnik. Speaking of Rosenwald, I've never heard the circumstances behind how the US Championship ceased to be a Lessing J. Rosenwald tournament. It wasn't his death. Rosenwald lived until 1979, but the last "US Championship and Lessing J. Rosenwald Tournament" was in 1969. |

| | TheFocus: I never heard either.
Maybe he no longer sponsored the tournament? |
