[what is this?]

Humphrey Deforest Bogart was born near New York, USA. An actor and chess enthusiast he was also a fairly strong amateur player, as evidenced by his draw with Samuel Reshevsky in a simultaneous exhibition. He included a chess position from one of his correspondence games in his most famous movie, Casablanca, although the position was disturbed during shooting. He was a USCF tournament director and active in the California State Chess Association, and a frequent visitor to the Hollywood chess club. In 1945, he and his wife, Lauren Bacall, appeared on the cover of Chess Review.

  Benzol: <brankat> I'm pleased it's finally appeared too. See my post of January 3rd 2008 on the previous page of this forum.

:)

May-22-12  brankat: <Benzol> I did see Your post, and all the others: I went through all 5 pages yesterday. It was then that I learned of the Reshevsky-Bogart game in the first place :-)

Actually I was looking for something completely different, but couldn't find it here, nor on L.Bacall page. A few years ago there was a link to a photograph of Bogart with GM S.Gligoric where Gligo is analyzing a game and Bogie standing by the table, looking on. I don't know whether this link still exists, and if so, where would it be.

Dec-25-12  waustad: Certainly the best known birthday player today. There are more games than I remember from Last time I looked here. I'll have to check them out.
Dec-25-12  talisman: happy birthday Bogey.
Aug-07-13  GumboGambit: According to Rybka, he should have refrained from attacking his partner in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". A sounder move would have been to stay together as a group as split the gold evenly.

  WannaBe: <GumboGambit> Well, my WhoDidIt 3.0 running on Windows 3.1 with x486 CPU with 8K of RAM disagrees with you. =))
Dec-25-13  brankat: Happy Birthday Mr.Bogart!
Dec-25-14  TheFocus: Humphrey Bogart was on the USCF Board of Directors in the 1940's.
Dec-25-14  TheFocus: Happy Birthday Bogie!
Oct-03-15  The Kings Domain: I've always liked the fact that one of my favorite actors was a Chess enthusiast.

It's too bad there are no recorded games of Paul Henreid, Bogie's "Casablanca" co-star, who was said to be a strong player.

Dec-02-16  Bruce Graham: Bogie is back! http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/n...

  Tabanus: So no CG games by his father Belmont DeForest Bogart (1867 – 1934).
Mar-03-17  morfishine: Bogie was quite a good player noted for his enthusiasm for chess, for the most part

Mar-03-17  morfishine: <TheFocus> Please, do us all a favor, and stop wishing "Happy Birthday" to corpses

Its plain nonsense that only serves to artificially increase your post total

Please
