  OhioChessFan: I hadn't heard of him, but he has a nice resume'.
Mar-20-18  Nosnibor: With wins against Kashdan, Suttles and Lombardy not including a clock simul win against Gligoric he was certainly a strong Southern American player.He did well in the 1955 U.S.Open. Maybe we should rivise our opinion of his strength!
Mar-20-18  RookFile: Sounds like a master.

  AylerKupp: I knew Irving Rivise in the mid-1960s and might have played some 10 secs/move games against him at the weekly Herman Steiner Chess Club 10 secs/move tournaments in Los Angeles. I doubt that I won or even drew any. Perhaps <andrewjsacks> can comment further.
