Mar-23-05  goosey: <blackpawnther> Frumkin is not a master. And who is "frimkin"?
Jun-16-05  Knight13: He was a master doing the 1980s.
Jun-30-05  ENERGY: <goosey> these people mean a uscf master, which means he had a rating over 2200, which incidentally he does . I know this as a fact, because he plays at my chess club.
Jun-30-05  Knight13: <ENERGY> Cool. What does he like? What's his personality? Is he kind or not?
Jul-02-05  ENERGY: <knight13> He is a friendly guy, who likes directing tournaments, listening to baseball results (he is a Yanke fan) , talking to people about the yankees and making jokes!
Jul-05-05  The 3 Gambiteers: Booo yankees (smile)!
Aug-02-05  turkishgrandmaster: Waitzkin played him when he was ten. And MADE the queen sack when he was ten. Frumkin is a master by the way.
Dec-10-05  Frhddy: <turkishgm> No he is not. He was a uscf master though....
Mar-22-06  RiceMiester: Now here is another Frumkin game: AGAINST ME!!!

[Lawson,Brian]

1.c4 Nf6 2.g3 c6 3.Nf3 d6 4.d4 Bg4 5.Bg2 Nbd7 6.Nc3 Qc7 6.. e5, 6.. e6, and 6.. Qa5 are the more popular tries here. 7.0-0 h6 8.h3 Bh5 9.e4 0-0-0 10.Be3 Nb6 11.g4 Bg6 12.Nd2 Nfd7 13.b4 h5 14.f4 hxg4 15.hxg4 e6 16.a4 f5 16.. d5 is best. Now Black's Nb6 is forced to probably the worst square for knights. 17.a5 Na8 18.d5 Nf6 19.dxe6 Nxg4 20.Bd4 But now 20 Bxa7 is best. The text lets Black fix his problems. 20...Qe7 20.. a6! = 21.exf5 Bxf5 22.a6 Qh4 23.Nf3 Qg3 24.axb7+ Kxb7 25.Rxa7+ Kb8 26.Rxa8+! Flashy, though technically Fritz would play the slightly more efficient 26 Qa4. Same result either way. 26...Kb7 27.Ra7+ Kb8 28.Ne2 Rh1+ 29.Kxh1 Nf2+ 30.Bxf2 Qg6 31.Qa4 Be4 32.Ra8+ 1-0

Mar-22-06  RiceMiester: There, <chessgames.com> I have given you a lot of extra game. I think I deserve Premium membership for that, or at least I deserve some recognition, like the game getting published , and my games too,. What do you think?
Mar-22-06  Chersnick: dont forget to give Ed a bio. He is the TD of the world reknown NYT Masters, and the clubVP/TD of the Queens Chess Club... He has drawn numerous strong players including me, Pal Benko, and others
Mar-27-06  Jake Lineman: A game that <chessgames.com> should have.

Frumkin,E (2215) - Benko,P (2450) [A28]

(Fritz thinks White has a very slight edge after 18 d4. Taking the draw against Benko certainly seems appropriate.) ½­½

  LIFE Master AJ: 10136580: EDWARD A FRUMKIN

(From the USCF website.)

Has a master's certificate.

Highest rating - that I actually saw - was 2170+. (See early 1990's.)

  perfidious: <Life Naif> Of course, the website doesn't go back into the 1980s, though the one time we met (in 1986), he was then ~2150 USCF.

It must be that the whole point of your post is to try debunking another perfectly good player, for reasons best known to yourself.

  LIFE Master AJ: I was ONLY trying to:

A.) Find out more about this player.

B.) Determine his EXACT USCF rating ... in 1987.

  perfidious: <Site Flamer> Why try to gain more information on him? So you can mercilessly harass him?

  FSR: <perfidious> BobCrisp would probably have an, um, involuntary bodily emission watching that.
