"I would like to dedicate these notes to the memory of my opponent in this game, my friend William E Martz (* 21-3-1945, † 17-1-1983). I met him for the first time during the Student Olympiad at Ybbs 1968, and for ever after he kindly and patiently stimulated my attempts to play chess. He also tried with much self-sacrifice to improve my English. His generosity has enlarged my library by many donations both in the field of chess and the English language. I always greatly enjoyed his fine sense of humour with a penchant for absurd situations, which was by no means dulled but on the contrary sharpened by his legal studies. I have lost a fine friend too early."

Aug-05-15  Howard: Informant 33 states that Huebner's 20...Qa5 was a mistake, and that Martz now had a won position after 21.e5 !

Huebner's notes to this game in the Informant are mind-boggling ! Check them out !

  NM JRousselle: I agree with Perfidious. Huebner's notes were very difficult to read thru. He often gave long (and I mean L-O-N-G) analysis. Unfortunately, he gave few ideas to go with the moves.

right, that has been Hübner's particular style ever since.

  FSR: We later learned that Martz had been terminally ill with cancer at the time. My understanding is that Chicago master/expert Norbert Leopoldi set up this double round robin tournament in order to give IM Martz a chance to get a GM norm and hopefully, with further excellent results, the GM title before he died. It didn't work, alas. Martz did respectably, drawing both games against Lein and scoring 1/2 out of 2 against each of the other players - Huebner, Korchnoi, Browne, and Dzindzi - but didn't approach a GM norm. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...
