Oct-09-18 Reshevsky vs C H Alexander, 1958
| |
|
Cibator: Probably a time-trouble error. But Black was done for anyway, if the winner's notes (in "How Chess Games Are Won") are anything to go by.

| | Sep-29-18 Reshevsky vs Denker, 1957
| |
|
Cibator: Dunno why AD bothered with the last 10-15 moves. According to Reshevsky (in "How Chess Games Are Won"), Denker's reply on being asked why he made this patently unsound sac was: "it looked good".

| | Sep-16-18 Stefan Fazekas 
| |
|
Cibator: <slapwa: Ritson Morry used to tell a story about Fazekas defending a K + wrong B + doubled RP v K endgame >: I've just come across an anecdote by Leonard Barden concerning this incident (on Edward Winter's "Chess Notes", no less, so I think we can accept its accuracy).

| | Aug-13-18 Amos Burn
| |
|
Cibator: Found someone called Quincey Redmond at Chess-DB.com, but at a rating of 833 his games are unlikely to feature on here for a while. Irishman Rory Quinn would fit, but only if he wrote his names the other way round, Chinese style. There's also a Quentin Rashad Chess to be found on ...

| |
|
Cibator: A sad event indeed, and one that's going to touch more people in today's chess world than would the death of almost anyone else involved in the game. There'll always be world or national champions; competitions of various kinds will continue to be organised; magazines can usually ...

| |
|
Cibator: I've only just stumbled upon the news about Peter's death, but even though it's several months on now, I still feel compelled to add my bit to the memories. We only had the one face-to-face meeting - a pretty brief one, in London in the mid-70s, at the home of a guy called Bob ...
