 | | TheFocus: Opponent's name is A. Wayne Conger. This is the only known correspondence game of Bobby's. He withdrew from this tournament, and possibly one other. Donald Reithel was another opponent, but his game was not completed. |

| | TheFocus: This tournament was 55-P-32. S. Frankel won with 5 wins and 1 draw; Conger in second with 5 wins and 1 loss. Fischer won against Maxwell, lost to Conger and Reithel, then withdrew. With double forfeits for overly long and unreported games, the other standings were Ellis and Reithel 2; Mattern with 1.5; Fischer 1; Maxwell 0. Fischer and Maxwell withdrew after three games. A player named Fischer withdrew from a Class Tournament, with no reported results, but it may not have been Robert Fischer. |

| | TheFocus: Between my posts of the 15th and the 20th, I discovered that the game with Reithel was not one of the uncompleted games, but that Fischer lost that game. |

"Also, it seems that Müller did not know of Fischer's participation in a correspondence tournament in 1955. This was a preliminary section of the annual Golden Knights competition, so the future champion may have played (or at least started) six games. Only the following is known and it is in neither the Wade nor the new book. I believe it is authentic, but unfortunately I cannot provide a source reference." -- Timothy David Harding in his recent chesscafe.com column. |

12...Qxd6 13. e5 Qd8 14. exf6 Bxf6 and the game is even. After 16. dxe6 Bxe6 17. Nf3 Nc6 there is nothing to see why Black should resign. The opposite is the case. An older/mature Fischer would have tried to win this with Black. Better development.

| Oct-30-11 | | lentil: Correspondence chess is not for everyone. I won several games vs. young players (Canadian Junior CC Championship) who lost interest due to the loooong time between moves. |
