  MissScarlett: How sure are we that these games are all the same player?
Jan-18-16  Karposian: <MissScarlett> I was wiondering the same thing. With as much as 45 years between the Capablanca game and the Fischer game, I'm not so sure either. Of course, it's entirely possible, but I have my doubts about this.

  MissScarlett: <"Highlight of the entire week's activities was the simultaneous exhibition given by Dr Emanuel Lasker, where he played twenty boards on the evening of August 23 [1940]. The 72-year-old [sic] veteran was at the top of his form and provided some startling combinations to puzzle his adversaries. He wound up with 18 wins and two draws. Those drawing with him were Walter L. Murdock Jr. of Cazenovia and Charles Helms of Brooklyn in consultation with Walter Froehlich of Syracuse.">

Cazenovia, I learn, is in Madison County, NY.

Walter L. Murdock, <17-year-old city champion,> who played a draw game with Dr. Alekhine last year [...]

he certainly did not play the game against Capablanca (born ~ 1916)
