Event: "US Junior Championship (1956)"
Site: "Franklin-Mercantile Chess Club, Philadelphia USA"
Round: "3"
Date: "1956-07-??"
Event Date: "1956-07-01 -- 1956-07-07"

One might say this was Fischer's first big national success, as it was oft mentioned afterwards. His USCF rating in May was a provisional 1750(!), fwiw. |

 | | MissScarlett: The date of the game is July 2nd according to the schedule set out in <Chess Life>, May 5th 1956, p.1. Here's Fischer's schedule:
July 1 - Round 1: 1/2 <Feuerstein> July 2 - Round 2: (B) 1-0 <Grossguth>; Round 3: (B) 1-0 <Whisler> July 3 - Round 4: 1-0 <Geller>; Round 5: 1-0 <Baylor> July 5 - Round 6: 0-1 <Henin>; Round 7: 1-0 <Weldon> July 6 - Round 8: 1-0 <Friedman>; Round 9: 1-0 <Blake> July 7 - Round 10: (W) 1-0 <Kerman> |

| Oct-05-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Damn, that was fast work.
Thanks for getting the header data "filled" out - certainly looks better above. But no love for the <EventDate> PGN tag?! That's a bit of a shame, it really should be used, and appreciated, more (e.g. it would record the start date of the tournament, giving this game's date to within a day or two). Tim Harding has written a, er, little about the <EventDate> tag in a now hard-to-find intro to PGN: https://web.archive.org/web/2014030... . |

| | MissScarlett: <e.g. it would record the start date of the tournament, giving this game's date to within a day or two).> True, it may help to narrow down a missing game date, but I never saw much point in it when we already have <tid>s. |
|
| Oct-05-21 | | Z truth 000000001: When will these knaves ever learn? |
|
Oct-05-21
| | MissScarlett: Forgot about the Blake game:
<July 1 - Round 1: 1/2 <Feuerstein>July 2 - Round 2: (B) 1-0 <Grossguth>; Round 3: (B) 1-0 <Whisler> July 3 - Round 4: 1-0 <Geller>; Round 5: 1-0 <Baylor> July 5 - Round 6: 0-1 <Henin>; Round 7: 1-0 <Weldon> July 6 - Round 8: 1-0 <Friedman>; Round 9: (B) 1-0 <Blake> July 7 - Round 10: (W) 1-0 <Kerman>> |
|
| Oct-06-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Where are you getting the colors from? |
|
Oct-06-21
| | MissScarlett: Three of the four should be obvious; the Kerman game is mentioned by Donaldson. Kerman remembered he was on the Black side of a Winawer. |
|
| Oct-06-21 | | Z truth 000000001: <Three of the four should be obvious;> Sure, if you say so... or not so. Please explain your logic or provide refs for us mere mortals. |
|
Oct-06-21
| | MissScarlett: Check Fischer’s games for 1956. |
|
| Oct-06-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Check them where?
If you're using a ref book (Muller, etc?) why not just say so. And then please explain how the rest of the games get assigned without a Berger table. . |

| | MissScarlett: You’re on a chess DB. It’s possible you’re misreading my notation. |
|
| Oct-06-21 | | Z truth 000000001: This is so typically cryptic, your signature move. OK, I get it. The list only has colors for the games on <CG>. A simple explicit statement would be oh-so-helpful to the reader. And the rest of the games might benefit from a (?) notation, marking them as missing from <CG>. . |
|
| Oct-06-21 | | Z truth 000000001: And yes, I missed the (W) for R10, and assumed (B) was marking Black whilst the rest were White. My bad. |
|
Oct-06-21
| | MissScarlett: The games here plus Kerman which is helpfully marked (W). That alone should indicate that all the unmarked games aren’t White by default. |
|
Oct-06-21
| | MissScarlett: Maybe a collection, <Fischer: The Missing Games> would not go amiss. |
|
| Oct-06-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Maybe, but I still would encourage a measure of mercy for the unwary and a helpful comment / key (or two) for the casual reader. For instance, the list could have the included the links to the available <CG> games, especially given <CG> lack of filtering on Event / Site tags. In that case it truly would have been obvious. |

|
| Aug-05-24 | | Polemarque: Fischer was black on R2 and R3, so he was probably white on R1 and R4 |
