Jun-09-19  catlover: The combination might make a nice POTD.
Jun-09-19  Scuvy: If I recall correctly, this is one of the games given in "How to Think Ahead in Chess" by Horowitz and Reinfeld. Of course, their book was written some years before the Yugoslav Attack (f3 plus Bc4 for White) became highly popular.

  WannaBe: Be really funny if the white player's name is Pavel Chekov.
Jun-09-19  Ilkka Salonen: A very relevant pun in these times, when I feel the CIA might be exploiting the fact that US foreign policy is partly a geriatric case.

Nov-11-24  Alan McGowan: A response to a 2019 comment by <An Englishman>.

Magyar Sakktörténet Vol 4, covering 1922-1944, gives this game on p26: Meszaros Gy.-Wessel I.

It appears in a selection of games that follow three pages of text under the heading 'A Mesterkérdé', which Google translates as The Master Question.

A list of of what must be qualifying events for the Master title is shown, including one for 1933 which has Wessel Imre and Meszaros Gyula in the list of competitors.

The book's general index has only one Wessel, Imre.

It has five named Maszaros; one without a given name, the others being Andor, Gyula, Janos and Pal.

Aside from answering the earlier question, this seems to clarify the given name of Meszaros.
