I annotated one of the games. Here is another interesting game, in the 6.c3 variation.

  OhioChessFan: My take:

<Albert Swank was born in Hancock Co., Ohio, as the 3rd of 6 children of farmer and engineer Jefferson Swank (1844-1934) and Martha J. Waltermire (1840-1916). In 1901, Albert was married to Emma Sherwood (1882-1932) from the neighboring county of Putnam. They raised three children in Findlay (Hancock Co.) and Jackson (Perry Co.). Swank worked as an oil field pumper, until around 1915, when he got a job as an oil field superintendent in Wichita, Kansas. The family moved there, and they had a 4th child. About 1923, Albert disappeared. Emma (as a ‘widow’) and the children moved back to Findlay, where she was a factory worker for some years. Despondent because of poor health, Emma shot herself behind a barn at her farm home. >

In the USA, counties aren't a big deal. It's fine to cite them, but the frequent mentions give the bio a very colloquial feel. Which is fine, but I felt the need to mention it. I tend toward being a bit mechanical and grammatically precise at the expense of a free flowing narrative, which is also fine, but makes me prone to tearing up other people's writing.

<Albert lived in Detroit in 1935 (according to him), whereas in 1940 he owns a small farm in Ti, Pittsburg Co., outside Oklahoma City.>

The Detroit reference is unclear. Did he move to Detroit upon his disappearance? Did he live there until 1935? If so, where did he live in the years 1936-1940? Has Swank lived in Ti since 1940?

<He is now single>

Did he ever remarry? If not, then "He never remarried" would be more accurate since the dead wife already clarifies that he would thereupon be single.

< and grows a long, flowing beard.>

Maybe "has" instead of "grows". The "and" is a little bothersome to me since the thoughts of unmarried and the beard really don't seem so intertwined as to demand the word "and". Maybe something like "He never remarried. He is renowned for his long flowing beard." A pic link would be great there.

< Probably he had moved to the City>

What city?

< by the time he decided to play in the 57th US Open (1956). Where, as the oldest player (age 78), he met the 13-year-old Robert James Fischer in the first round.>

"The oldest player, at 78, he met the youngest player, 13 year old Bobby Fischer in the first round."

  OhioChessFan: I don't like my remake of the 78/13 thing. I have to think about that. It's an interesting point but hard to get into words.

  Tabanus: <Ohio> Wow, I'll look at it later!

After 1922, the only sources I have is

1) Emma is "widow" in 1923, and in 1930 census.

2) Emma's death in 1932 (newspaper report).

3) the 1940 census where he is single and owns a farm in Ti. He was then asked where he lived in 1935, and answered Detroit. So 1936-1939 is unknown. 1923-1934 is also unknown.

4) US Open 1956, he is "of Oklahoma City". So 1941-1955 is unknown.

5) Sunny Lane cemetary (1958).

The sources are scarce, so it's about boiling soup on a few nails without saying something wrong. I've always thought my English is not good enough for it. Also, it may not always be good to write a bio with so little info available.

  Tabanus: <Ohio> I followed your advice in first part but let the "who married in 1875" stand. I wonder about "around 1915" vs "About 1923", is there a difference? And are you sure about "Swank" worked as an oil field pumper - not "He" or "Albert"?

The 2nd part is still unchanged except <Oklahoma> City. For example I cannot write ""He never remarried" because I can't be 100% sure of that.

  OhioChessFan: I also posted this on <twinlark> forum

<They raised three children in Findlay (Hancock Co.) and Jackson (Perry Co.). He worked as an oil field pumper, until around 1915, when he got a job as an oil field superintendent in Wichita, Kansas. The family moved there, and they had a 4th child. About 1923,> "around" and "about" are pretty interchangeable, so the different uses are fine and probably preferred.

Maybe preface the following with <The rest of his life is sketchy.>

<Albert lived in Detroit in 1935 (according to him), >

Can you cite anything at all where/when he claimed that?

<whereas in 1940 he owns a small farm in Ti, Pittsburg Co., outside Oklahoma City. >

Maybe "whereas by 1940 he owned a small farm....."

<He is now single and grows a long, flowing beard. >

This probably should be at the end to maintain the timeline. And "sports" instead of "grows" has a little pop to it.

<Probably he had moved to Oklahoma City by the time he decided to play in the 57th US Open (1956).>

This is a tough one. "Maybe ....57th US Open (1956) held in that city." Or "The 57th US Open (1956) was held in Oklahoma City. Swank decided to play in what was probably then his hometown."

<Where, >

There

  Tabanus: <Can you cite anything at all where/when he claimed that?> He said that when interviewed at Ti in 1940 (census).

I'll see what I can do, thanks!

  OhioChessFan: Okay, I meant to include that citation in the narrative.

May-10-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: <He lived in Detroit in 1935 (according to him in 1940)>

(according to an interview he gave in 1940).

I like the way you got the beard into the narrative.

May-10-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  Tabanus: Interview.. I don't really know how it was. Either he was questioned on his farm (or in a nearby community house), or he just filled out a form / questionnaire. Changed to "according to 1940 census". Thanks, Ohio!

  Phony Benoni: <Taubanus> Albert M Swank was definitely living in Oklahoma City when the US Open was held there in 1956. The tournament crosstable published in Chess Life and the Spring 1957 USCF rating list both provided cities for players, and he is listed at Oklahoma City in both cases.

  OhioChessFan: <Here, as the oldest player (age 78) and sporting a long, flowing beard, he met the 13-year-old Robert James Fischer in the first round.>

Definitely not "Here". Probably "There", though the sentence doesn't quite flow. Let me think about it.

May-11-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  Tabanus: <PB> OK, I really thought so.

I rewrote again. The almost impossible. If this continues, I'll grow a long beard myself.

May-11-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: In 1940 he was unmarried and owned a small farm in Ti, Pittsburg Co., outside Oklahoma City. Which was his hometown at the time of the 57th US Open (1956), >

The ". Which" doesn't flow very well. But a comma instead of a period makes it a realllly long sentence, which I suppose you realized. And a repetition of "Oklahoma City" disrupts the narrative. Thinking.........

Okay, I think the repetition is a necessary evil. Maybe ...outside Oklahoma City. Swank moved into Oklahoma City by the time the 57th US Open (1956) was held there, and he decided to participate. As the oldest player <there> (age 78), and sporting a long, flowing beard, he met the 13-year-old Robert James Fischer in the first round.

May-11-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  Tabanus: Hehe, no I don't know <when> he moved to the city. In 1941 for all I know. Searching for perfection..

Ok added "there". What about "This" was his hometown ..?

May-11-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: Hmmmmmm. Maybe we can finesse the Oklahoma City issue by this:

In 1940 he was unmarried and owned a small farm in Ti, Oklahoma. Sometime before 1956, Swank moved to Oklahoma City, which was the site of the 57th US Open, and he decided to participate.

May-11-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  Tabanus: Mmmm... looks good to me now. Repetition of "1956" though :)

One of Albert's grand daughters (who died in 2012) was married to <Charles Norway>, so I better get this right.

May-11-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: Hmmmmmmmm. Repetition of 1956......

In 1940 he was unmarried and owned a small farm in Ti, Oklahoma. Sometime before the 57th US Open (1956), Swank had moved to Oklahoma City, site of the tournament, and decided to participate.

  OhioChessFan: <Jacob Altusky was born in Bronx, New York, as the third child of Rabbi Judah Altusky (1892-1983) from Brest, Belarus (1921-1945: Poland) and Ruchama# (1904-1998) from Slutsk (Belarus), >

For consistency's sake, if you have "Brest, Belarus" then you should have "Slutsk, Belarus".

< They emigrated to New York from Le Havre, France, in 1925.>

While grammatically correct, "immigrated" is probably best. "emigrate" emphasizes the country left and "immigrate" emphazies the country going to.

<He went to the Marshall Chess Club and got a draw vs Hans Kmoch in his simul there in 1947.>

"He went to" has a sense of that being the only time he entered the doors of the Marshall Chess Club. If he was a regular there, I'd add the word "regularly" between "He" and "went". Or "occasionally", etc.

<Later he also met Robert James Fischer, >

I'd prefer a comma after "Later".
