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: http://newspaperarchive.com/ca/albe...

And this obit: < 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.

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) click for larger view <Evans writes of this position: "This attacker does not always benefit from open lines. He should try to close the center before embarking on a wing attack. 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 click for larger view And supposedly Evans gives White resigning, but my score of the game continues on for five more moves to White being mated.
