Yeah? I've got an autographed copy of Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953 by David Bronstein.
Just thought I'd mention that.

Yeah? Well Grand Master Sammy Reshevsky stayed at my house when he visited Hawai'i.  |

I suppose he insisted on GM foods?

As long as it was only "almost".
Anyway, if you are going to resort to almosts, you might as well say that you almost beat him.

Earthing Bobby Fischer.
I didn't realize how detestable he became in later years (applauding 9/11, for example - at worst you can say America angered loads of people but don't applaud the death of thousands of people). It's clear that he was petty about laws that kept him from defending his chess crowns and when he broke the law couldn't believe we tried to enforce it. Hard to be proud of an "American Hero" when he is so hateful towards us. |

| Bobby was always somewhat crazed. I didn't know him personaly. I was good friends with Col. Ed Edmunson and know Grandmaster Larry Evans, both of whom were close to him before he really went off the deep end. |
