Look here bot - when the Wikipedia Blair-action started, these Vignettes
were a good way to rescue material - amended or not - and kept from
destruction.

At the time there were very many opinions about the quality of writing et
cetera - and I responded then as now, 'shut up and show us' if you're so
smart. Get it?

It was a
very good tourney for GM Denker, as he went from USCF
2322 all the way up to 2375! Note that (apart from Alex
Yermolinsky) this event was not exactly packed with
grandmasters; so where the heck were they? Was the
U.S. Closed championship huge that year? In any case,
at 81 years old, he smacked around several masters; this
reminds me of Jack Palance falling to the stage floor and

My daughter aged 16 was crew on a big wooden boat up there on Erie, a
lake
boat built to fight the Brits

Those scum! The way they treated us, you would
think they owned us or something, like a colony.

That's what the native americans said, no? To them it was just soldiers and
more soldiers.


and a couple of guests showed up, the Gov of
PA, plus a 'star'. Guests had to put on life jackets, and the star
couldn't
quite figure his out, so #1 daughter went over and tied it for him, but
he
tried to 'help'. "Put your f*** hands down, man!" she said to Jack
Palance.
Which he did, quiet as a lamb. She had no idea who he was.

Ah, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Learned
how to talk from her old man, I see.

You may not be aware, but navy folk often talk a bit 'rough', though I
forgive you for not being able to hear them from the cornfields.


Anyway, 2375 is not too bad at age 81! My gosh! That's not too bad at
all.

He no doubt left several masters scratching their heads
in wonder at how they could lose to such an old fellow.

Chess can be a strenuous game, and not only is it
tougher to recall things as you get older, but the clock
seems to speed up on you as well.

Does it though? I see you have made a useful contribution in this thread,
which was to spot the typo. We also spotted it at the same time, and
corrected it promptly.

For someone with such a lot to say you might want to try your own fist at
writing a Vignette.

I went to chessgames.com and (finally) replayed the
correct moves of this game, where the note about
the King retreating to e7 actually made sense. On
that site, a note can be found in which some poster
borrowed intermittant comments by "Lev Albert and
Larry Parr" ("What villiage idiot...?"). Again, there is
no objectivity; my view is that Rybka could simply
take over in mid game and probably squeak out a
draw through a miraculous defense; but not when
the annotator talks as though Black does not even
get to move while White goes thrice in a row! LOL
