Nov-18-09  holy tramp: I can't believe that no one has commented on this game yet. What a great game to see, both players playing with purpose, playing to win. Mackenzie's last moves are brave and beautiful. Awesome tempo with Mack's naked king just asking for it. His final move is such a subtle knockout blow- take my knight and my queen comes in for the kill.

Mar-24-12  AVRO38: Does anybody know of any books that cover the DSB Congresses, at least up until Mannheim 1914? These were some of the greatest tournaments ever held.

Also, there are literally thousands of photographs of Civil War Union officers, does anyone know if any photos of Mackenzie in uniform exist, or if he belonged to a GAR post after the war, or where he is buried?
