May-03-05		wrap99: This would be Alan Trefler, possibly in the World Open which he won in 1975

May-03-05		perfidious: What wrap99 says is correct on both counts- I'm glad I wasn't in the way of Trefler's finest hour.

May-03-05		Resignation Trap: Actually, Trefler tied for first with Pal Benko.

May-04-05		perfidious: Are you sure it wasn't Nicholas Rossolimo who shared first with Trefler, just before the accident which brought about Rossolimo's death? Maybe I'm wrong....I haven't looked through most of the old CL&Rs in many a moon.

May-04-05		Resignation Trap: I checked CL&R immediately after I made my post. The 19-year old Trefler's last round defeat of Rohde (age 15) forced Benko into a must-win situation against Danny Kopec, allowing the GM to tie for first, with an 8-1 score. Rossolimo was clear third with 7.5.

Aug-07-07		OBIT: Good thing Trefler had this World Open result in 1975. If it happened today, he'd immediately have been accused of using a hidden computer.
