Jul-13-05		Benzol: Is this English player Arthur Reynolds?

Apr-19-09		JaneEyre: Died in Asian waters makes it sound like an accidental drowning. He was torpedoed by the Americans. <�The War Graves Photographic Project gives details regarding Arthur Reynolds, who died on the Suez Maru, a Japanese cargo ship sunk on 29 November 1943. His name appears on a website providing an account of the event.> http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...

Apr-19-09		WhiteRook48: Bad Americans! (well, they were at war besides)

Sep-06-09		technical draw: < Died in Asian waters makes it sound like an accidental drowning. He was torpedoed by the Americans.> "He" was not torpedoed by the Americans. He was a POW on the Japanese cargo ship Suez Maru (an enemy ship) when it was torpedoed by the US submarine "Bonefish". After the Suez Maru sank there were 200 to 250 POW's in the water. A Japanese minesweeper that was with the Suez Maru then was ordered to execute the POW's in the water. Some historians believe Reynolds perished in the massacre. The Suez Maru was a legitimate target. The POW's in the water were not.

Sep-12-10		Phony Benoni: I've never been good at identifying faces, but the person labelled as "Koltanowski: (third from the left) doesn't look like Koltanowski to me. My impression is that he's the person standing to the left of Tartakower, and labelled "Landau".
