| BishopBerkeley: I saw a NASA T-shirt once that said, "As a matter of fact, I AM a rocket scientist!" I thought that was rather clever....
(:  Bishop Berkeley :)
P.S. Chess is not rocket science! (Then again, rocket science is not Chess!) |

| laskereshevsky: Happy Birthday Mr. Wall...
We dont know each other, but please allow me to ask if U ever Worked in Palo Alto's Lockheed with an (now past away) engineer Named Laszlo Szabo original from Hungary... (the friends and colleagues nick-name's was JIMBO)... |

| wwall: I did not work in Palo Alto's Lockheed, but played in LERA events and worked at NASA Ames in Mountain View and Onizuka AFS from 1985 to 1991. I organized and played in almost all the Palo Alto chess events. I don't recall that name, but it would be a famous chess name for Szabo. I lived in Palo Alto for several years and had relatives there. |

Happy Birthday!
Mr. Wall, Yahoo pulls the plug on <geocities> this year. How will this affect your chess content hosted by them? |

| chessgames.com: Before the days of computer databases, Bill Wall's famous manuals of opening traps were as much staples to a chess player's diet as bread and butter. Happy birthday, Mr. Wall, and may you have many more! — Chessgames.com Staff |

| laskereshevsky: <wwall> Thanks for your answer... Now I realize my mistake, his name was IMRE SZABO, and not Laszlo....When writting i was distractly thinking about the chess master... He wasnt a chess player, and wasnt related to the famous Hungarian GrandMaster Laszlo Szabo. ... An Atherton's resident, Even with the big difference of age between us, I was very friendly guested several times in his Villa... He worked succesfully for the lochkeed for about 25 years, Involved in several NASA's projects like the Shuttle, Hubble Telescope etc.... thats because after reading your Bio, i asked it... |

| karnak64: Well, Happy Birthday Mr. Wall. As a young player, I snatched up a few of your pamphlets (paid for 'em, too) at tournaments. If I'm better as an older player now, you had a piece in it. Many happy returns! |

| WhiteRook48: Happy Birthday! |

| carpetshark: Szabo is a common surname in Hungary so it wouldn't be surprising if you met anyone from that country by that name. Happy Birthday Mr Wall! |

| LIFE Master AJ: Hey Bill, its A.J. Goldsby from Pensacola, FL. Your game, (B Wall vs J Chance, 1969); was the featured game of the day. Congrats! Do you play much "over-the-board" chess anymore? The games posted shows like your last (serious) OTB tournament was like 1993. Is this correct? By the way, GeoCities is closing its doors here soon, what will happen to your site? (I have already moved a few of my better GC sites, see them at mt new domain. http://www.ajschess.com.) |

| JustAFish: AJ, Bill Wall's last USCF rated game was played in 2000 if that's any help: http://main.uschess.org/component/o... |

|
| wwall: I am in an area with few OTB USCF events and have lost the urge to play in OTB tournaments (which gets more expensive and too tiring for me). I can play for free online or live chess anywhere in the world with little or no cost. I play over 2,000 games a year online, so I get my chess playing addiction that way. I now use my weekends for tennis, stay home with the wife, or have friends over, rather than going to chess tournaments. And I can always go over the games of the masters at chessgames.com. I may move my chess home page from GeoCities to a chess site soon. |

| PinnedPiece: <wwall>Seeking your insights here... Any updates, discussion, etc.?
http://www.chess.com/forum/view/gen... I've noticed no further chess reviewers have attempted a followup to IM Day's review (such as it was). Do you know of any particular reason why this is the case? Is it due to lack of availability of the book, or (perhaps) desire not to be tainted? |

| kooley782: Wall is an amazing chess player, and I am honored to say that I am his student's student. |
