Apr-21-07    Phony Benoni: A living legend in certain quarters of US chess. As a young man, he decided to play a tournament in all 50 states and succeeded in doing so. He has also garnered a measure of fame by never resigning; for example, see R Feldstein vs J Benjamin, 1990, where he makes a GM checkmate him up two queens and a rook. I am absolutely sure that the two counter examples given here are incomplete scoresheets or losses on time. It can lead to strange results. He played many tournaments in Michigan, and I once saw him reach an ending against a Master with Q+2B+2P vs. Feldstein's bare king. Feldstein didn't resign, so the Master had a bit of fun by promoting both pawns to bishops, including three on the same colored squares. Apr-21-07    KingG: <Phony Benoni> Interesting info. Do you know roughly what this guy's rating is? Apr-21-07    Phony Benoni: <KingG> He seems to be stuck at 2000. http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlMa... Apr-21-07    Resignation Trap: It's not easy to find a tournament in Wyoming, but he did it here: http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain... . I had the pleasure to defeat him in the last round.
