 | | GrahamClayton: Levy died on the 20th of March 2011, aged 90. He would be one of the few players to have played both Frank Marshall and Bobby Fischer. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Just took a quick look at the last couple of pages of Marshall games, and these players can be added to the list of common Marshall--Fischer opponents: Sidney Norman Bernstein
Arnold Denker
Alexander Kevitz
Samuel Reshevsky
Anthony Santasiere
We don't have any games betweeen Fine and Marshall, but they surely played. And I'm sure there are others. Among non-US players, I'll start the ball rolling with Max Euwe and Maurice Fox. |

 | | FSR: Levy is probably the only player ever to play Marshall, Fischer, and Kamsky - three great U.S. players from three different eras. |

 | | HeMateMe: This is certainly an interesting find, <FSR>. He also played Byrne, Korchnoi and Reshevsky, as well as Denker and Kashdan. He certainly got to play a bit over his head, for being a relatively low strength guy. I wonder if a similar link (Six degrees of Bacon) exists for Morphy, and future USA champions? |

He certainly got to play a bit over his head, for being a relatively low strength guy.> While not in the (world) class of the players you mention, Levy was no slouch. For example, looking at the bound 1962 volume of <Chess Life>, I see that in December 1962 he had a rating of 2352. Only 13 players in the country had Senior Master (2400 and above) ratings, and 12 of them were or later became GMs or IMs. |
