Anyone know if there's a tournament book? Jun-20-22    perfidious: <keypusher>, never heard of one, though from Evans' writings I recall the fanciful tale of the, shall we say, early departure of Quesada from this event. The account given by Evans is cited in the kibitzing at R Quesada Sr vs Prins, 1952.
