I have created a Wikipedia page about George Koltanowski. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Koltanowski A curious fact I have just discovered is that he is not listed in the Social Security Death Index. http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi The closest match is a George Colton who died in San Francisco with exactly the same dates of birth and death.

Hi, Im past the stage of understanding how all the pieces move and why I should look at the whole board but not very far past it. Can anyone reccomend a good resource for learning more?

Lately, in case you have not noticed, Bill Brock has been posting boigraphies of me on Wikipedia. At first, he asked that my biography be deleted, claiming that I had written the biography myself. This was demonstrated not to be true. My Wikipedia biography was written by two persons who have never met me and who know of me for reasons unrelated to chess and who do not know each other either. I...

There are some old chess publications I would like to obtain. I always kept everything about chess, but in 1994 my brother had everything in my mother's house in Lynchburg, Virginia thrown in a garbage. Thus, I lost most of my old chess magazines and game scores. I did salvage a few items, such as the score of my game against Claude Bloodgood which I have just posted. If anybody goes to the...

Yesterday, I happened to notice that the Wikipedia biography of John W. Collins and twice been deleted. This is unusual. It had been my understanding that once a Wikipedia biography is posted, it stays up forever, unless the person is entirely non-noteworthy. So, I found a new skimpy biography that had been posted after previous deletes. I expanded it by finding his birth date which had not...

I was browsing chess books in a store the other day, and noted two extremely misleading chess titles. By "misleading" I do not mean "lousy book", a book that fails to do what it intends to--I mean a book where there is no connection between the book and the title. The first was Eric Schiller's "Complete Defense to King Pawn Opening", by Eric Schiller, described on the cover as "the world's...

Does anyone know anything about a visit by Capablanca to Stoke on Trent (Hanley), Staffordshire, UK around the 1920's to play a simultaneous match with the local clubs. I believe the venue was the Albion Hotel in Lichfield Street.

I have created some more new Wikipedia pages. I noticed that the biographies on Wikipedia of John Watson and John W. Collins had been deleted. I do not know the reason and I would like to find out. Anyway, I created new biographies on Wikipedia for them: Here are these and some more Wikipedia biographies I created...

Since Taylor Kingston has been busy spending his time attacking books by other authors, especially Eric Schiller, Larry Evans and Raymond Keene, I decided to look and see if Taylor Kingston has written any books, and what the reviewers said about them. Here is what I found. Taylor Kingston has written two books. ALL of the reviews have been unfavorable. Here is what one reviewer wrote:

I just happened to notice some extremely negative remarks on Wikipedia about Eric Schiller posted by somebody who obviously does not like him. Naturally, I suspected Taylor Kingston aka Edward Winter, who is known to attack Schiller among others. So, I revised the Eric Schiller page, taking out all the negative stuff. Within minutes, this same person but them all back in. Then, checking the...
