Nov-07-05    Jamesbowman: Very interesting he played six years post-mortem, I was always impressed with Korchnoi's tenasity but clearly this is a topper. Nov-07-05    sneaky pete: He's a baby compared to Alexander MacDonnell. Jun-10-06    BIDMONFA: John Stuart Morrison MORRISON, John S. http://www.bidmonfa.com/morrison_jo... _ Dec-07-08    jinga: Wait... When Morrison died in 1975, how he could play his last game in 1981??? Dec-08-08    whiteshark: For two consecutive days <Player of the Day> Dec-07-11    brankat: <POTD> again :-) He did win 6 Canadian championships. Had some good results against well known masters of 1910s and '20s: Maroczy, Tartakower, Janowski, Ed Lasker, Euwe. R.I.P. master J.S.Morrison. Dec-07-11    Penguincw: Happy 112nd birthday! Dec-07-11    Petrosianic: What do you think he's going to do to have a happy 112nd birthday? Go out on the town? Dec-07-11    Penguincw: < Petrosianic: What do you think he's going to do to have a happy 112nd birthday? Go out on the town? > No. Let's just say it's more like a milestone or something. Dec-07-11    monopole2313: Any relation to Robert Morrison, another fine Canadian player? Dec-07-11    Eastfrisian: Another player, I have never heard from. Dec-08-11    Phony Benoni: Actually, it was his 122nd birthday. Even more cause for celebration! Dec-08-11    brankat: This is the second time in 3 years J.S.Morrison has been POTD for two consecutive days! Why such a preferential treatment? Dec-08-11    Penguincw: Hmm. In my less than one year experience on chessgames.com, have never saw a player being Player of the Day in back to back days. Maybe they havn't fixed it yet. Dec-08-11    whiteshark: The whole thing looks fishy.
