Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-17-21  RookFile: Born 1948, Died 2020.

valedictorian from Ottumwa High School

He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduating with a BS in Humanities in 1970. He studied under some of the best known writers and poets in America, including Lillian Hellman, Louise Gluck, and A. R. Gurney. One of his poems, written while at MIT, was published in two different writing anthologies which were used in college literature curriculums. He liked to say that he was probably the most published one-poem poet in America.

Larry spent most of his career as a software engineer for Lotus/IBM in the Boston/Cambridge area.

Larry was a member of the MIT chess team that won the national collegiate championship and later personally advanced to national master. He was a longtime member of the Boylston Chess Club in Boston, serving as Treasurer for many years.

When Larry was 4, he contracted polio and for the rest of his life could only walk wearing a brace and using crutches. As a member of the Greater Boston Post-Polio Association for many years, serving as both Treasurer and President, he was an inspiration to many.

  OhioChessFan: Do you know what "Ch Chess Club" references in this game?

L Schmitt vs D Woods, 1994

Jul-18-21  RookFile: It would have been held at the Boylston Chess Club in Boston. Evidently there was some error when the game was imported.

I believe this is the tournament involved:

  perfidious: Years ago, I submitted all the games of the 1993 Boylston Club championship and only see six of the nine played by Larry.

While remembering Larry very well from Boston area tournaments in the 1980s, we never met at the board. He is yet another example of a person mild in temperament while displaying great ferocity on the 64 squares.
