Mar-28-05		babakova: Hard to believe there are but three games to this guys credit, three losses at that... To Fischer...

Dec-18-07		Petrosianic: Three games <in the database> (more added since then). DiCamillo was a top US player in the late 50's, and played in more than one US Championship. He died in the hospital some time in the late 50's/early 60's, though I don't remember why.

Apr-25-08		Petrosianic: He died in 1962 or 1963. I still don't remember why. He was Philadelphia's top player for years.

Apr-25-08		Phony Benoni: <Petrosianic> Jeremy Gaige gives his dates as <May 28 1917--February 17 1962>.

Apr-25-08		Calli: Looking for a picture, but all I found was the back of his head. Playing Reshevsky: http://picasaweb.google.com/Caissa1... Can anyone place the game/event ?

Apr-26-08		Phony Benoni: Here it is, courtesy of http://www.chesslive.de/: [Event "USA-ch"] [Site "New York"] [Date "1946.??.??"] [Round "0"] [White "Di Camillo, Attilio"] [Black "Reshevsky, Samuel Herman"] [Result "0-1"] [Eco "D74"] 1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.c4 g6 4.g3 Bg7 5.Bg2 0-0 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.0-0 Na6 8.e4 Nb6 9.Nc3 Bg4 10.d5 Qd7 11.Re1 Rad8 12.Be3 Nc4 13.Qb3 Nxe3 14.Rxe3 c6 15.Rd1 Qc7 16.h3 Bxf3 17.Bxf3 Nb8 18.Bg2 Rd7 19.Red3 Rfd8 20.Qa3 a5 21.Ne2 cxd5 22.exd5 Na6 23.Nc3 Be5 24.R3d2 Bxc3 25.bxc3 Rd6 26.Qb3 b6 27.Qc2 Rc8 28.Bf1 Nc5 29.c4 Rcd8 30.Re1 R8d7 31.Rde2 Rf6 32.Re5 Rfd6 33.h4 Qb7 34.Qe2 e6 35.Bh3 Re7 36.Kh2 Kg7 37.Kg1 Qc7 38.Qb2 Nd3 39.Qa1 Nxe5 40.Qxe5+ f6 41.Qe2 e5 42.Qc2 Rxd5 43.Qe4 Rd4 44.Qc2 Qxc4 45.Qb3 Qxb3 46.axb3 Rc7 0-1 The picture seems to have been taken after 11.Re1.

Apr-26-08		Calli: Thanks, PB. Di Camillo outplayed Sammy only to blow it in the end, 38.QB2?? walks into a fork. Maybe time pressure. 37.dxe6 appears to win as 37...Nxe6 is answered by 38.Rxa5! bxa5 39.Qe5+

Sep-19-08		whiteshark: A Camillo is a designed by committee.

Sep-19-08		Shams: <whiteshark> very nice!
