| Nov-15-14 | | carterd253: Alan, can you send me your email so we can correspond outside the forum? If I were to organize a "rusty old man" quad with you, Chris Richmond, Tony Salgado and Dave Virzi would you play? None of you have played in years so it'd be all fair. |

| Feb-12-15 | | ChemMac: Alan - I see that you played both Dlugy and Walter Browne. I beat Maxim the two times I played him in Manhattan C.C. championships, and drew with Browne (ending with Q+N vs Q and two pawns, which was unwinnable once my last pawn was exchanged).
I think I posted one of the Dlugy games, but here it is again in case you didn't see it. W. Neil McKelvie B. Maxim Dlugy

| Mar-10-15 | | Abdel Irada: I recently received an email that claimed to be from you, but given some of the behavior on this site lately, I want to verify before replying that it really *is* from you. ∞ |

 | | perfidious: <Abdel Irada> Yes, it was--by all means respond to the question if you wish. |
|
| Mar-12-15 | | Abdel Irada: Email should be in your inbox soon if not yet.

| Jun-16-15 | | crawfb5: I have a draft introduction for Game Collection: 0 Prague 1946. If you have any corrections or additions to suggest, let me know. I only included a few games so far. <zanzibar> submitted missing games, so I will finish that section after they are processed. |

| | Domdaniel: <perf> It seems that Bernie Sanders is a chessplayer, of sorts - there's a story about him in the current issue of New in Chess. Have you any further info? |
|

| | perfidious: <Dom> Back in spring and summer 1978, Sanders brought his son Levi to our club in Burlington for a time. Never met either, but recall Bernie: the same curly hair, though it had not yet gone white, resonant voice with the distinctive New York accent. Was rather a shock when, two years later, he beat the five-term incumbent Democratic mayor to get his start in politics. One thing sure: Sanders is a man who has known how to pick his spots. After his tenure as mayor, he won a seat in Congress. While I have not the slightest idea whether Sanders contemplated higher office than the US House of Representatives in those days, he had not a snowball's chance of winning a Senate seat from Vermont, popular though he was in Burlington and Chittenden County, with Patrick Leahy holding down one spot and Robert Stafford, followed by Jim Jeffords having a firm grasp on the other. |

| | Domdaniel: <perf> Thanks, that's very innaresting. Though I tend to think that, since chess is of no conceivable use to any politician, the ones who express an interest in the game are to some extent genuine. Either that, or playing a very long game. |

| Apr-24-16 | | Boomie: <perfidious>
I just looked at your tournament win and was surprised to see T. J. Cloutier in 9th. He was arguably the best tournament player of his generation. I had the great pleasure of playing many hours of $20/40 with Johnny Moss, who I consider the Babe Ruth of poker. We enjoyed each other a lot and he told me stories about the "old days". For example, he was once invited to a game in Kansas City to play Harry Carey. Aside from the baseball announcer, he's never heard of it. But they assured him it was poker and he knew he could thrash the line-up. So he goes to KC and the game starts. The dealer gives everybody 2 cards and there's a round of betting. Then he deals 3 cards face up in the center of the table. Johnny asks him how the game proceeds. He said there's a bet now, then one card and another bet, and finally the last card and a bet. Then he turned to me with a hand shielding his face and said in a stage whisper, "Ya know, I think at that time I was the best Holdem player in the world." I loved that guy. |

| May-12-16 | | luftforlife: <perfidious>: It's great to hear from you on <Tab's> forum. I always enjoy your posts, and I admire your success in no-limit Texas hold-'em. I've long loved the game as a spectator; I guess it was <Rounders> that put the hook in me, but I really enjoyed watching the WPT coverage for many years with Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten, and it was by watching and listening to Mike and following the action that I learned a bit about the game and its long-time history and players. I admire the rapid-fire calculations and sangfroid of the greats; it seems too the ability to read others (a Daniel Negreanu specialty) is a hallmark of continued success. Your 2002 WPT Foxwoods win was no mean feat. I'd love to learn more about your experiences, and about your love of the game. Happy to hear from you. Best regards. |

| | perfidious: <Boomie> and <luftforlife> This is rather a belated response, but not so much as in some other instances, eg, I posted re Foxwoods, from early action to the final table bubble several pages back, and that in 2013! The final table was ten punters, rather than the typical nine. Not sure why, but Foxwoods are/were idiosyncratic in their ways to some degree. We began life at that final table with an average chip count of 36.5k, and I had 37,000. There was a fairly heavy gunner with us called Frank Rasile whom I had played at the same table with when things were down to two tables. He was, I believe, two seats to the left of TJ Cloutier and mostly played a bit more tightly than he had when matters were shorthanded. Frank eventually reverted to his loose-aggressive ways and was first to bust out at the FT. For a little while, not much changed with the standard nine-handed table, though one hand came up which featured Cloutier open-raising from the cutoff, with me in the big blind holding ace-ten suited. While I do not recall the exact blind and ante levels here, they had to be high enough that any action by me would either commit me to the hand or cause TJ to shove himself (I had him covered). This should have been an easy shove, but I sensed something amiss, thought a little while and mucked. TJ was kind enough to flash AQ my way before dragging the pot. More to come. |
