May-20-13 Gustave Simonson   thomastonk: From the biography: "In 1876 he joined the Chess Circle of the City of Hartford." Is this derived from the list of names <Tabanus> posted on Mar-24-13 on City of Hartford ? There is only a "Professor Simonson", when this Simonson was just 12 years old. Below one can find ...      May-20-13 Eugene Beauharnais Cook   thomastonk: In 1868 Cook received the A.M. degree from Princeton. His physical powers had returned and he practised extensive mountain climbing in the summer and skating in the winter. In 1898, when this article was written, he had composed 655 problems, and he held the position of the ...      May-18-13 Biographer Bistro    thomastonk: <Phony Benoni> Thank you very much. The question arose, when I saw within a few days one such organisation founded in 1871, and another one a quarter of a century later. I will read that book on the fifth congress.      May-18-13 Thillaye Chatard    thomastonk: Did this player ever exist?

That's the way I interpret "(not to be called a match)". If I am wrong here, I would like to know that, of      May-16-13 W C Spens vs De Vere, 1867   thomastonk: Meanwhile I am quite sure that the result is wrong: De Vere won. Here one can find a few more sources: http://www.edochess.ca/tournaments/... . I have found no source claiming that Spens finished with a full point or more. Moreover, both players did not met at another event in ...      May-15-13 Walter Cook Spens   thomastonk: A picture of Spens can be found here http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... .      May-13-13 Mikhail Botvinnik   thomastonk: <sneaky pete: Botvinnik gave 11 exhibitions> Thank you for the correction. The 9 exhibitions I mentioned were those from the schedule that has been published shortly before the visit.      May-12-13 Colonel Moreau    thomastonk: <HeMateMe> Thanks for the keyword. It was Sherlock Holmes himself who played in Monte Carlo 1903 under the name Colonel Moreau, at least if you believe Irwin L. Stein and his article "The Case of the Curious Colonel" in BCM, June 1966, p. 169-171 (information taken from ...      May-12-13 Monte Carlo (1903)   thomastonk: From the same source (s. page 1): "First and second prize were fixed at 4.500 and 2.250 francs respectively, while the other prizes to be gotten up in proportion of games won ; a sliding scale was adopted, each for third prize amounting to 68 frcs., for fourth prize 64, then ...      May-10-13 Lothar M Schmid     May-08-13 Paul Morphy    May-07-13 Wilhelm Steinitz     May-06-13 Blackburne vs Ford, 1877    May-06-13 Richard
