Apr-03-15    WannaBe: I love this quote, but can't find the players page. Spelling of last name perhaps? I ended up finding Jacquiline instead. Those who know the marvels of chess and wonder why this game of all games does not enjoy greater popularity may also ask why Pepsi-Cola is consumed by more people than Chateau Lafite, or the Beatles are more familiar than Beethoven. - Gregor Piatigorsky Apr-03-15    WannaBe: Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time. - George Bernard Shaw Chess is beautiful enough to waste your life for. - Hans Ree http://www.chessquotes.com/topic-ch...

He was a chess fan and patron. He took time before a concert to watch the final match of a tournament between Robert Byrne and Julio Kaplan (Byrne won). He had a young man carrying his cello case. Probably an aide or his son. The year was 1966 or 67. No one asked him to play Autumn Leaves. Apr-04-15    WannaBe: Oh, goodness gracious... Please stop the (March) madness.
