| James Demery: I like the French defense , but every time I see someone play it they lose , including Bogart twice . Is the French defense a bad defense? |

| aw1988: It's... well, there are different branches of the French. No, certainly the defense is not bad, but in the Winawer say, White has very nice attacking possibilities... of course, Black has equally ferocious counterattacks, but the French gets none too good the reputation, which is a fallacy. The systems with 3...Nf6 and 3...dxe4 are more constrained. |

| madlydeeply: Treasure of the Sierra Madre was my Daddy's favorite Bogart Movie and therefore I believe that to be true to. Plus the book is awesome. Plus everything B. Traven and Ret Murat wrote. |

| mobiegobie: I read the book. I liked it, a fast read, typical Hemingway...dont remember the "stung by the dead bee" question. More Hollywood embelishment?
Did Hemingway play chess? |

| Marmot PFL: I heard John Wayne was a weak player, but he won quite a few games. The rumor was that you had to lose if you wanted to work on any more of his movies. I loved the Duke's movies though. (He was called the Duke cause he hated his real name, Marion, and had a dog named Duke). Bogart was great as good guy (Casablanca, Key Largo), bad guy (Sierra Madre), or crazy guy (Caine Mutiny). I liked the scene where he "geometrically proved" that the strawberries were stolen and strip searched the crew looking for the non-existent key. |

| GufeldStudent: The game against his wife Bacall is strange. His other games show a much higher level of play, probably A player. Perhaps he played poorly on purpose because he did not want her to feel bad, afterall he missed the clear win of a pawn early in the game. |

| blazerdoodle: don't forget Key Largo, with the hurricane trapping him and Edward G. Robinson and a bunch of mobsters in some inn in Florida. He also starred as a few excellent bad guys. What was that film he did with Frederich March? That was an intense one. |

| BadTemper: Bogie was born on January 23rd, 1899. Please correct this. |

| michael104: I have no idea what the truth is regarding Bogie's birthday, but the following is from Wikipedia: "Bogart's birthday has been a subject of controversy. It was long believed that his birthday on Christmas Day, 1899, was a Warner Bros. fiction created to romanticise his background, and that he was really born on January 23, 1899, a date that appears in many references. However, this story is now considered baseless: although no birth certificate has ever been found, his birth notice did appear in a Boston newspaper in early January 1900, which supports the December 1899 date. In addition, the 1900 census for the household of Belmont Bogart lists his son Humphrey as having a birthdate in December of 1899. His last wife, actress Lauren Bacall, always maintained that December 25 was his true birth date." What is the basis for the claim that his birthday was January 23, 1899? |

| savagerules: I read a bio about Bogart and even in his final days as he was dying from cancer, next to his deathbed, he had a chessboard set up for analyzing games. |

| Karpova: Interview with Lauren Bacall from Dec-19-2007
<<Can we talk about Mr. Bogart?>(laughs) What have you got in mind?
<You said something very interesting in your first memoir, that he was not a “tough guy” at all, in spite of the types of roles he played.> He was a very gentle soul. He was very strong, and very sure about what he believed in and what he thought was important and not important. He couldn’t be pushed around. But he was a gentle man. I was very, very lucky to have even met him, much less have been married to him. He had extraordinary gifts. He was much more of a complete individuals than most people are. He had the kind of standards my mother had. Their values were very much the same. It was very interesting. He had tremendous character and a great sense of honor and would not tolerate lies, even if they asked him what he though of a movie. We were once at a screening at somebody’s house, I forget whose, and they ran a movie that he was in, that he never thought much of. Afterward, the producer asked what he thought of it, and Bogie said “I think it’s a crock.” (laughs) And this producer was horrified! He was about the release the movie, and he said to Bogie “Why would you say that?!” Bogie shrugged and said “Then don’t ask me.” He never played the schmoozing game. He was not into that at all. <None of that surprises me because his acting was very honest. He always played very straightforward characters.> That’s right. And that’s who he was. But he was also sentimental, and romantic. He had all those other qualities that were irresistible. And he was highly intelligent. He was an avid reader. He was also a great, great chess player. I mean, a major chess player.> http://thehollywoodinterview.blogsp... |

| Jim Bartle: By chance I saw "The Big Sleep" again last night. Trying to figure out who killed whom for what reason still seems tougher than learning how to mate with knight and bishop. (Or should I say two knights?) |

- I came for the romance. The women.
- The women? What women? We're in a chess website!
- I was misinformed. |

| hovik2003: I am shocked by finding out that Bogart was a good chess player, and was bogarting his cigar over chessboard also, my respect grows more and more for him and his memory. |

| whiskeyrebel: I seem to remember reading he got Frank Sinatra interested in chess during the initial house party oriented incarnation of the "Ratpack". I also remember seeing a picture of Sinatra with Walter Browne. At any rate, my fave Bogie films are "the treasure of the Sierra Madre" and "High Sierra". |

| TIMER: Somehow I always think of Capablanca when I see Humphrey Bogart.. Casablanca is too similar a name- and similar time periods. Also both are classics. |

| Benzol: <madlydeeply> <So where is the Reshevsky draw?> I don't know about it's authenticity but I found this score some time ago and I can't remember where. I've been meaning to post it earlier but other things kept cropping up. Romanoff's Restaurant, Hollywood 1956.
