Mar-29-09
 | | chancho: According to <PinnedPiece>, Trice was a very minor player in the whole book scam thing. Trice may want us all to think that, since he responded to <Pinned Piece>'s post, by posting about what he did in checkers, instead of answering such simple questions like why he accused Labate of being Helgi and the book scam, and the next moment saying the same book was written by Bobby Fischer. He keeps posting the same lame links that as far as real evidence goes, fall way short. For instance, Trice said the Labate judgement was thrown out, but no docket number of any kind to prove it. Is it really that freaking hard to prove the case was indeed thrown out? And resorting to calling people: losers, clowns, and low life's for questioning whatever he says, doesn't exactly help him on the credibility meter either. |
|
| Mar-29-09 | | Jim Bartle: Chancho, don't forget Trice's sharp defense to many of these questions (on his player page): "If you were right, I would agree with you." |
|
| Mar-29-09 | | Ed Trice: <AnalyzeThis: Is there a witness other than yourself who can verify that you met Bobby Fischer?> Yes. As I mentioned before, in this article
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ8DMAfZC... ...the reporter said before he could print this...
<Finally, Trice got to talk with Fischer in the corner of the restaurant in Reykjavik - for about five minutes.> ...He needed confirmation from someone who was at the restaurant at the time with Fischer as well as one other person who worked there. They wanted a fax from Iceland from the restaurant, a phone number where they could be called back, and an email. This was under a deadline, and he thought he would not get all of these things before it would go to press. He told me he would have 2 copies of the article ready to print, one with, and one without the above statement and the one that followed it. The newspaper staff did receive all of their required documents, so they did print it, as is plain to see. |

There topic is not of particular interest to me - especially if one cannot even purchase the book. But many others do seem to be interested. Perhaps CG could create a '61 Games' blog and everyone could migrate the various conversations? |

| Mar-30-09 | | JonDSouzaEva: Anyone who has any doubts about Trice's involvement in "My 61 Memorable Games" should read the e-mails that Edward Labate has just put on his website: http://www.labatechess.com/61_games... I really think that this should settle the matter once and for all. Mr Trice - would you care to comment on the content of these e-mails? |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | GeauxCool: That's really sad. |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | timhortons: somebody is lying here.
as master splinter used to say " the hottest place in hell is reserved for liars" turtle power! duck power! |

Finally some closure to this whole, painful ordeal.
The statements made by Einarsson are the first from a truly credible source that actually had regular contact with Bobby during his final years. Unfortunately, now that <Ed Trice> has been exposed as the person we all suspected him to be (never meeting Fischer, perpetuating the M61MG hoax, using private photos shared in good faith, etc.), his last recourse will be to discredit this great man (Einarsson) or refute that the e-mail is legitimate. It's all too easily predictable. What's even sadder, is that some people will still choose to believe and endorse this "man". Justice has finally been served and I hope that this gets put to rest once and for all. |

| Mar-30-09 | | AnalyzeThis: <Ed Trice: the reporter said before he could print this > Does this reporter have a name? |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | Ed Trice: <Does this reporter have a name?> Yes, he does. |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | acirce: This is simply hilarious. I don't actually care about the facts of the affair as much as I enjoy the pure comedy value of the <Trice & Labate Show.> It is a privilege to be able to watch this for free. |

| | chancho: <AnalyzeThis> When Spassky, Lautier, and Titomirov showed up in Iceland to try and convince Fischer to play a match, Icelandic TV interviewed the guys. Trice shows a newspaper clipping from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Is that even comparable? http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | ChicoChuck: Ed Trice: <Does this reporter have a name?>
Yes, he does.
Care to tell us what the reporter's name is? |
|

| | chancho: Those e-mails on Labate's site should be grounds for a humongous lawsuit if Trice were to pursue it. The question is: will he? |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | Jim Bartle: If we're talking about the Inquirer article, the author is Peter Mucha. |
|
| Mar-30-09 | | ChicoChuck: Ed Trice wrote: "You're probably well aware the Phildadelphia Inquirer would not print any such thing without 3 confirmed sources." As a free-lance journalist myself, I can tell you that very few newspaper articles would ever be published if "3 confirmed sources" were required. Almost all newspaper articles are published if the journalist has ONE credible source. And they usually take the journalist's word for it that the source is indeed "credible." I've had about a dozen op-ed articles published in one of the nation's largest newspapers: The Orange County Register. Many of my articles are chock full of facts and statistics, none of which were fact-checked. I am considered a reliable journalist, and as such they "take my word for it." Like I said, otherwise virtually no articles would ever get published in a daily newspaper. Someone can be convicted of a crime with only one credible witness testifying against him or her. I know that newspapers don't have a higher standard than a court of law. |

|
| Mar-30-09 | | parisattack: <timhortons: i hope chessgames.com dont get involve in any scam transaction.> An Internet discussion is either Open or it is not - save the basic decency parameters. I'd just like to see all the 61 Games/Trice/Labate/Etc threads be off somewhere so this discussion (for example) could be about the games and chessic exploits of IM Day. |
