<http://files.chesscomfiles.com/imag...> Jay Bonin, Has the most recorded tournament games in USA history? <http://paulhoffman.files.wordpress....> Is that Jack Collins, an early Fischer helper, in the center of the picture? <http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images...> Imagine a time when Fischer didn't care about people crowded around him, taking pictures and kibitzing? |

| | MissScarlett: <One event…took on added importance as the years went on. This was the founding of Marshall’s Chess Divan at Keene’s Chop House, 70 West 36th Street, New York, in 1915. The object was to establish in New York a central meeting place for lovers of chess, much on the same lines as such famous resorts as Simpson’s Divan in London and the Café de la Regence in Paris. It was my idea to make the Divan a place of instruction where young players would be encouraged and where all chess players could feel free to gather.
The friends who visited us at the Divan formed the nucleus of the present Marshall Chess Club, with its notable membership and palatial quarters. We occupied various premises from 1915 to 1922, when we decided to incorporate the club. Alrick H. Man was the first President and our first club house, purchased by a group of members, was at 135 West 12th Street. In 1931, ... the club’s present quarters and also my home, was purchased.> http://www.marshallchessclub.org/hi...
<The Chess News>, January 3, 1916: <Marshall and Jaffe have opened a chess divan at 70 West Thirty-sixth, New York. Strangers will be welcomed.> http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?... Glad to find that Keen's Chop House, later Steak House, is still there, albeit the address is now 72 West Thirty-sixth: http://www.keens.com/AboutKeens/His... |
