  Yuridmi: Jude Acers might be a lesser-known chess master, but he sure puts a hurt on Walter Browne in this Kingside tactics skirmish

  Joshka: Is Jude still hustling in the French Quarter?
Aug-13-20  BananaStrings: Joshka, In 2009 I went on a road trip from CA and made it a point to go see 'The Man in the Red Beret.'

I spent $15 for 2 losses and a draw (his sign read "$5 a lesson") against Mr. Acers on Decatur Street in the French Quarter.

He had a table set up on the sidewalk, sort of near a cafe, but he said that the cafe asked him to leave to make space for customers as he was drawing too many players who were cheapskates and not buying anything.

The whole time we were playing he kept talking about the chess history of New Orleans, and which chess books he thought I should read. Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual was the only one I recall him mentioning.

After the games he took me on a tour where Morphy lived, played, and died throughout the French Quarter.

I don't know if he's still hanging out down there, but I doubt he still is. When we played he had some obvious health issues. He nonetheless was full of energy and treated me as an equal--two lovers of the game enjoying chess and its history.

Obviously he should've beat those cheapskates hands down and shaken the pennies out of them.

  Joshka: <BananaStrings> hey thanks for the interested story!!! Yea, in my many decades of playing chess, chess players are some of the stingiest folks around, doesn't surprise me!!...sure wish they'd make a movie about his life one could make it a very interesting . This man's story needs to be told, he has a Fischer like following and a colorful character like Jude should have a movie about his life and times. hey thanks for your eye witness!!!

  fredthebear: Fischer FEVER was raging! Both men followed Fischer closely.
Nov-13-24  rwbean: 13... ♗g6? instead of 13... ♗xg4 should lose.

16. ♗e4! is the winning move here.

However, the Trifunovic variation is tricky, the famous game WCCC 1992, round 5, Kasparov Sparc - ChessMachine WK, had 13... ♗xg4 14. ♗f4 ♘xa1 15. ♖c1? (15. ♗e4 only move) and White went on to lose.

"Kathleen Spracklen: We got into a terrible position out of the opening book" p74 of http://archive.computerhistory.org/...

Nov-14-24  FM David H. Levin: <<rwbean>: [...snip...] 16. ♗e4! is the winning move here.>

It took me a few tries to discover how White can pursue Black's knight while handling the upcoming ...Rad8 followed by ...Bd3. The only way (after 16. Be4 Nxa1) seems to be 17. Be3 Rad8 18. Nd2 Bd3 19. Rxa1, unpinning White's knight, which protects the e4-bishop.
