I posted a very, very iteresting article called "My conversation with Steinitz" by Harold M. Phillips (1964) at http://blog.chess.com/batgirl/my-co...

Aug-28-15  wordfunph: from Essay on Chess by Anthony Santasiere..

<There are some great names who seem almost always to be in time trouble. It would kill me a thousand time over, but they seem to emerge not at all shaken; they even give the impression that they enjoy it! My good friend, Harold M. Phillips (master, patron, chess lover extraordinary) as he grew older was always in time pressure in the later stages of a game. Once, on such occasion, he had to go to the men's room, and rushed so to return, that he had to be reminded (by some kindly soul) that his fly was open.>

Breaking news, wiki isn't always right.

Curious that so much info is to be found here...
