    Virginia Chess Newsletter 1998 - #5 1 RODNEY FLORES 1998 STATE CHAMPION RODNEY FLORES, OF VIRGINIA BEACH, SCORED AN UNDEFEATED 6-1 to win the an- nual Labor Day weekend Virginia Closed tournament in Charlottesville, and so capture the 1998 state championship. By no means a pre-tournament favorite at 2106, Flores became the first expert to capture the state championship since Bill Robinson in 1982. Defending champion Steve Greanias tii with Alan Brownstein, Bora Yagiz & Roderick Brown for 2nd-5th. (See box next page for complete list of prizewinners.) Catherine Clark, of Alexandria, was elected VCF President at the annual business meeting, held Saturday morning prior to the first round. Outgoing President Mark Johnson directed the tournament. The penultimate round game between Flores and former (1993) champion Macon Shibut stands out as the critical juncture in this year’s title race. To that point Shibut had looked to be pulling away from the pack, standing alone at 5-0 including wins over Greanias and two-time champion Rusty Potter. Flores was a half point behind and scheduled for the black pieces. However, in this battle of editors (Flores oversees Tidewater Chess News, Shibut Virginia Chess) the new champion experienced no real trouble in the open- ing, gradually took command in the middlegame, and wrapped up the point with incisive endgame play.

  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina.
