Jul-17-10    wordfunph: drawing with Reshevsky and winning against Alekhine? he must be sharp.. :) Jun-16-12    Phony Benoni: Photo of Sydney T. Sharp in action, 1933: http://fultonhistory.com/Newspapers... Jun-17-12    brankat: Ten times Pennsylvania state Champion! Mr.Sharp also won against Dr.Lasker. A simul game, 1904. He drew Reshevsky, also a simul game, when Sammy was about 10 years old. his win against Alekhine must have been a simul, too. Alekhine didn't participate in any tournaments in Philadelphia in 1924. R.I.P. Mr.S.T.Sharp.
