| Oct-16-20 | | jerseybob: This game is from a Marshall championship. According to Soltis, Browne asked after the game what white had on 28..Kc8 and Soltis had no answer. Later, Marc Yoffie's brother Joel, a 1500 player at the time, found the brilliant 29.Qg4+!! |

| Oct-16-20 | | Granny O Doul: <jerseybob> Wow, that's really great. |
|
| Oct-16-20 | | syracrophy: A spectacular move, <jerseybob>. When playing White through the full sequence (which is apalling) one may forget that he was not playing a combination out of his own but refuting Black's sac 26...♘c2?!, so it's not surprising that after 28...♔c8 29.♕g4+!! wasn't on the radar. |
|
| Oct-17-20 | | jerseybob: To complete the Soltis-Browne saga, here's their first game, the first time I heard of both players, from the 1964 NYC Junior(NY Times 8-2-64): Browne-Soltis 1.e4,e6 2.d4,d5 3.exd,exd 4.Nf3,Bd6 5.Bd3,Bg4 6.h3,Bh5 7.00,Nc6 8.Nb5,a6 10.Nxd6+,Qxd6 11.c3,h6 12.b4,Qf6 13.Be2,00 14.a4,Rfe8 15.Nh2,Bxe2 16.Qxe2,Nf5 17.Qf3,Qe6 18.Bf4?,Nfxd4! 19.cxd,Nxd4 20.Qe3,Qf6 21.Qd2(I think. The Times score is garbled),Qxf4 22.Qb2,Re2 23.Qc3,Rc2 24.Qd3,Rd2 25.Qe3,Qxe3 26.fxe3,Ne2+ 27.Kf2,Nc3 and here the score just ends. Resigns seems logical. Their final game that I know of was a draw in the 1983 U.S. Chp. |

| | MissScarlett: I assumed this was from the Marshall CC championship but the crosstable in the April 1965 <Chess Life> shows they didn't play each other. The obvious alternative would be the <Marshall Open> that took place in June, but I haven't found any results from that event. |

|
| Jan-06-23 | | drantos: The correct date for the game is 11.15.1964 and it was the fifth round of the Marshall Chess Championship Preliminaries. |

| | Stonehenge: Presumably GM Soltis himself, see his game uploads. (I wish he used
[WhiteElo "?"]
[BlackElo "?"]
for those tags. What he uses isn't accepted by the PGN processor.) |
|
| Jan-06-23 | | stone free or die: How can I see his PGN uploads?
(Is that limited to only editors, super-editors, ... who?)? |
|

| | MissScarlett: You mean I committed the - what's the expression? - faux pas...lese majeste of asking Sourceless Soltis for a source? |
|
| Jan-06-23 | | stone free or die: I think any player could be considered an issuing authority for their own games. But it should be documented. FWIW - I think the uploading info should be made public and not limited to just super-editors. |

|
| Jan-07-23 | | stone free or die: <<Missy> Quit tracking people. If they're dead like Morphy or Staunton, that don't apply.> Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
It's OK a bourgeois apparatchik, such as yourself, to have the power to "track" people, but not for any old (or young) honest, hard-working (and good looking) proletariat? Harrup! |
|
| Jan-07-23 | | Granny O Doul: If drantos's first name is Lewis, then the whole thing is an anagram of Andrew Soltis. If not, never mind. |
