 | | Kday101: In the 70s she helped pay for our high school team from Los Angeles to fly to the National High School Chess Championships. We tied for first. It was a fantastic experience and I will always be thankful for this wonderful generous woman. Merci, Jacqueline! Happy birthday. |

 | | Joshka: To show you how far the World Chess Championship has fallen.....this lady sponsored the Fischer-Reshevsky Match in 1961, a non-titled match at that, and this match was scheduled for 16 games! We get 12 for a titled Word Championship Match in 2012!!. |

 | | HeMateMe: <http://images.search.yahoo.com/imag...> <http://images.search.yahoo.com/imag...> <http://images.search.yahoo.com/imag...> Ms. P passed away july 15, age 100. I do wish she had kept her tournament running, we have so few good ones here, these days. |
|
| Jul-23-12 | | brankat: A very fine person!
I didn't know about her being also a sculptor. After seeing the photos of some of her work (provided here by <Riverbeast>) I'd say she was a talented artist, too. R.I.P. Mrs.Piatigorsky. |
|
| Jul-23-12 | | andrewjsacks: Those of us who had the honor and great good fortune to know her personally benefited in many ways, as did American chess as a whole. She was truly one of a kind, and in terms of our nation's chess heritage, her name should be emblazoned shoulder to shoulder with the greatest players we have produced. |

| Jul-23-12 | | talisman: thanks for the memories. |

| Sep-08-13 | | Karpova: Edward Winter's feature article <Chess: Jacqueline and Gregor Piatigorsky>: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |
|
| Sep-08-13 | | TheFocus: Nice article. I am mentioned in it. |
|
| Sep-08-13 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus> respect.
<Nikolai Brunni (Honolulu, HI, USA) has found several of Jacqueline Piatigorsky’s games in Chess Life, 1955> Now, I have an indication that you are not <Eric Schiller> :-) |
|
| Sep-08-13 | | TheFocus: It's a ficticious name to throw <AJ> off my tracks. |
|
| Sep-08-13 | | TheFocus: It's a shame that only 6 of her games are available. I have several not in here I will submit. Don't you think her life would make a good chess movie? |
|
| Sep-08-13 | | JoergWalter: With Merryl Streep in "the devil plays 3 knights"? |
|
| Sep-08-13 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus: It's a ficticious name to throw <AJ> off my tracks.> Oh, how tricky you are. But <AJ> is a first class watchdog and won't let you off. |
|
| Nov-06-14 | | PhilFeeley: Since she was quite an active player, there should be more of her games here. |
|
| Nov-06-14 | | Nosnibor: <PhilFeely> To help your request for more games of this lady despite <TheFocus> offering to submit more games of this player I append a game that she won in Los Angeles in 1952 during a County Championship.
