This was a most entertaining game. Suttles got an edge out of the opening through White square control, then 2 'pawn islands' to 3, ergo more targets in the advantageous endgame.

Circa move 30 Suttles had about 15 minutes and Reshevsky only a minute to reach move 40. There was a flurry of moves, unrecorded by the players and misrecorded by the bulletin people. Black's 33rd should be ..Ra7 and move 36 is ..Re6. This set up the dramatic situation at move 40. Reshevsky's flag was hanging at the split second point. His hand was right ready to play his 40th move. In this situation Suttles thought for ten minutes until his own flag was hanging. I was wondering if White could win with so few pawns left. Then Suttles moved 40.Ke2!! stepping into 8 different disco checks. Reshevsky's jaw dropped. His hand hovered for a split second and he rejected them all playing ..Kh7. So after 41.Rh3+ and Kd3 White had solved the problem of his King reaching the Queenside and the game was easy.

First off, Canada, or BNA (British North America) was vastly inferior to the USA. We would have gotten "owned" if under normal circumstances.

You have surely heard of Napolean, the brilliant strategist. Well, by one event or another he put a blockade around England, making sure no one could get in nor out. Well, since England had the greatest navy they took a leaf out of Napolean's book... they set up a blockade around Europe entirely!

So we have a double blockade, one inside the other, when Napolean invades Russia. A fatal mistake no doubt, as you all know what happened. The depleted French army quickly turned back, but now they were so weak they got destroyed by the Allies.

With France defeated, England could now send troops to BNA in order to help us from the advancing American army. We obviously could not defeat them ourselves; we were merely french farmers!
