  cwcarlson: There's a picture of Bob at http://www.colorado-chess.com/Histo.... He was born on January 3, 1939, and expired on September 20, 1986. He is well remembered and much missed. Here's a game where crushed me: Robert Shean (2012), age 34 - Curtis Carlson (1960), age 19. 1973 Spring in Laramie Open, round 4. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6.

A fine game by Bob and an embarrassment for me. Bob's father got much pleasure from watching this game, even if I didn't.
