 | | GrahamClayton: "Profile of a Prodigy" by Frank Brady has the following: "My own first close glimpse of Fischer took place during the Greater New York Open Championship Tournament at the seedy and poorly lit Churchill Chess and Bridge Club in January, 1956." Do any chessgames.com users have recollections of the Churchill Chess and Bridge Club? |

 | | GrahamClayton: A slight correction to Feuerstein's biography. He finished =1st with Captain John Kudson of the US Air Force in the 1960 US Armed Forces Championship, with both players scoring 10-1 in the 12 player round-robin event held at Washington, DC. At this time, Feuerstein was ranked as a Specialist Fourth Class, and was serving in the US Army in France. |

- Arthur Feuerstein (he meant that it is helpful to walk away from the board and come back in the role of observer, seeing the position as if it were new) *Chess Life March 2012, as related by his friend Sherman Boim |

Very thankful you allowed me to interview you. It was a good article. |

 | | perfidious: <wordfunph: "You have to remember to kibbitz your games."> The one time we met at the board afforded me but little chance to put this piece of advice into practice: I had to make my final twenty moves to the time check in under a minute. |

Is he titled? What year, if any? |

 | | FSR: According to Al Lawrence on Facebook, Arthur Feuerstein died yesterday. |
|
Feb-04-22 | | Granny O Doul: He seemed like a pleasant guy when I met him, which seems to have been most people's experience, so let me just call him a pleasant guy. I had heard about the car accident mentioned in his Wikipedia article, but never was very clear about its actual effect on him, and this seems likely to remain the case. |

He had to relearn how to play chess, and successfully became a master again. Very sad to hear about Arthur's death. He treated me very nicely in our e-mails. |
|
Feb-04-22 | | Granny O Doul: I remember that in 1983, he was only about 2200 and ten years later, 2300. |

|
Feb-08-22 | | tryany2: 1) Does anyone have a copy of the fischer-feuerstein connection article? I've been trying to track it down. 2) He forget everything in that accident. He lost almost all of his memories. As the article suggests, this included what a toothbrush was. But he actually never forgot how to play chess. It was part of him. 3) He died Feb 2. He had the latest issue of Chess life, a chess book, and his chess set all within arms reach. |

Feb-08-22 | | tryany2: thegoodanarchist: <TheFocus> Is he titled? What year, if any?
He def achieved master. After the accident, the USCF gave him the title of "Lifetime Master". |
|
Feb-08-22 | | Z free or die: Better take a snapshot of his FIDE card before they retire his number. https://ratings.fide.com/profile/20...
He didn't have any FIDE titles. |
|
Feb-08-22 | | tryany2: His highest rating I'm aware of was a 2395 in 72. I'm not sure if it was higher before the accident. His FIDE rating card doesn't include a lot of information. Would love to find out if there's a way to see the peak rating of folks from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. https://old.chesstempo.com/gamedb/p...
He was def a master. And then received Life Master. I think he was just shy of Intl master but not 100 sure. |
