Oct-11-03    Benzol: Another player who used me to wipe the floor in the lightening tournament. Dec-29-04    Benzol: Paul Anthony Garbett Born 18th December 1952 New Zealand champion 1974-75, 1982-83, 1983-84. Feb-02-05    Benzol: Paul Garbett is leading in the 2005 Oceania Zonal Tournament. See http://www.globalchessenterprises.c... Feb-06-05    Where is my mind: Paul Garbett finished second in the 2005 Oceania Zonal Tournament and has earned an IM title. Dec-18-07    Benzol: Happy Birthday Paul. Dec-18-08    brankat: To win an IM title at the age of 53 is a testimony to one's hard work and commitment to the game. Congratulations! Happy Birthday Paul Anthony! Dec-18-08    Benzol: In the 2nd Round of the Asian Teams Championship held in Auckland in 1977 Paul Garbett was up against R. Maninang and was three pawns in arrears in the following position. P. Garbett (New Zealand) vs R. Maninang (Phillipines) White to play: click for larger view To keep fighting Paul uncorked the remarkable move 31.g6+. He opponent responded with 31...xg6 (31...hxg6 allows mate in two and 31...xg6 loses the Queen whilst 31...d7 32.xh7+ c8 33.g8+ c7 34.h7+ also will win for White.) 32.xh7+ f8 33.xg6 xg6 34.xb7 and the game was eventually drawn in 67 moves. I could imagine Frank Marshall smiling about this one.
