Joseph Platz on page 51 of 'Chess Memoirs' (Coraopolis, 1979):

<‘My opponent in the next two games [A. Rothman] was considered to be a specialist on opening play. I was present when Reuben Fine asked him: “Is it true that you know all columns of MCO by heart?” And he answered: “Yes, it is true.”’>
