IMMORTAL BUT UNKNOWN BY EDWARD WINTER Edward Winter. (1988, with updates) One way in which an ordinary amateur can become a chess immortal is by being in the right place at the right time. If, for instance, he is on the scene just as a new prodigy emerges, even an inglorious defeat will perpetuate his memory. A case in point is Juan Corzo, for whom the right place and time were THE CHESS PRODIGY SAMUEL RESHEVSKY BY EDWARD WINTER Now an eye-witness report of Reshevsky’s simultaneous display at Swiss Cottage, Hampstead on 6 October 1920, from page 47 of the November 1920 Chess Amateur: ‘Rzeschewski is a short – the chessboards have to be placed at the extreme edge of his side of the table – thin, frailly built boy, pale and fair, with a fine head, but with nothing abnormal about his general appearance.

-------------------------11745. F.D. YATES
Concerning the forenames of F.D. Yates (see, in particular, C.N.s 7910 and 11545), we wonder when the now-discredited form ‘Frederick Dewhurst Yates’ first appeared in print, i.e. what antedates the obituary by P.W. Sergeant on pages 525-528 of the December 1932 _BCM_, which had two occurrences on the first page: See too the heading of a letter from W.H. Watts on page 529: ------------------------- 11746. SIMULTANEOUS BLINDFOLD MATCH (C.N. 11739) The Curnock v Lawrence match was the subject of negative comment by Louis van Vliet, as reported on page 175 of the _Chess Player’s Chronicle_, 26 June 1895: From page 8 of van Vliet’s _Sunday Times_ chess column, 16 June1895:

------------------------- 11748. OBSERVATIONS BY GENERAL CONGDON From a letter contributed by James Adams Congdon to the June 1888 _International Chess Magazine_, pages 173-174: > ‘Chess is a great science, beautiful, fine art, and an honorable > profession. Hence, its masters are justly entitled to rank > intellectually with the greatest Musicians, Painters, Poets, > Orators, Mathematicians, Scientists, Statesmen and Warriors. I hope > to live to see the time when they will be equally honored and> compensated.

> It is not a question of the rich paying the poor, but of the > enjoyers paying for their enjoyment.’ ------------------------- 11749. JOSÉ PÉREZ/PEREZ MENDOZA C.N.s 4591 and 10718 had the above photograph of Emanuel Lasker with a leading Argentinian chess figure, and a number of items have referred to the latter’s 599-page book _El Ajedrez en la Argentina_ (BuenosAires, 1920).
From page 493:
His entry on page 324 of _Chess Personalia_ by Jeremy Gaige(Jefferson, 1987):
However, as will be seen from Pérez Mendoza’s obituary on pages 138-139 of the June 1937 issue of _Caissa_ (acknowledgement: the Cleveland Public Library), the date 17 April 1905 referred not to his birth but to the founding of the Club Argentino de Ajedrez, and the final paragraph stated that he died at an advanced age: In _El Ajedrez en la Argentina_, ‘Perez’, and not ‘Pérez’, was the preferred spelling, and we have consulted Christian Sánchez (Rosario, Argentina) on the matter. He points out that under rules dating from 1820 such patronymics as Fernandez, Perez and Sanchez did not take an accent, and that it was not until 1874 that the Real Academia Española revised its position and began to recommend accents on such names, which is the general usage today. -------------------------×
