| Dec-05-14 | | zanzibar: I would like to know how the Tadashi name got here... it should be referenced. The contemporaneous <Chess Reports> reporting of the 1954 tournament list him as "J. Kagetsu". <crawfb5> notes NYT reporting gives <Jack T. Kagetsu>, and I found this: <Jack Kagetsu a chemical engineering sudent> here: http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/... (July 8, 1954 Ottawa Journal chess article) I did find a reference for Tadashi here:

Tadashi Kagetsu, Union Carbide engineer ; April 22, 1931 -- June 5, 2006 The Buffalo News (Buffalo, NY)
August 17, 2006
A memorial service for Tadashi Jack Kagetsu, Ph.D., a retired director of engineering for Union Carbide Corp., will be at noon Saturday in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto. Dr. Kagetsu, formerly of Lewiston, died June 5 in his home in Chapel Hill, N.C., where he had lived since 2004. He was 75. During his 30-year career with Union Carbide, he was director of engineering for the Mining & Metals Division in Niagara Falls from 1965 to 1986, when he retired. He received two patents in 1980 for improved techniques for recovering chromium. …> http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-230... |

| Dec-05-14 | | zanzibar: And excerpts from Evans <New Ideas in Chess> discussion about Kagetsu--Evans (Hollywood Open, 1954) http://node801.blogspot.com/2010/11... (Pre-move: 25.Nd5-f4 d6-d5)

This cannot always be done. The defender must keep his lines of communication open, and this requires a fluid center so that he may divert pieces from the other wing to the defense of the attacked wing".> 26.Qxh1 Bd6 27.O-O-O Rb7 28.h4 Bxf4 29.Bxf4 Qg4 30.Bd2 dxe4 31.Rg1 Qe6 32.Be2 Qa2
