  • Benko 90 JT the Provisional Award XABCDEFGHY 8-+-+-+
    Benko 90 JT The provisional award In the tournament invitation we wrote Pal Benko as judge. Unfortunately he had to hand over this role to someone else. Benko GM had temporary problems with his sight. Benko chose Richard Becker instead of himself. Richard Becker's judgment report and the award, that I published in the 6/2019 issue of Magyar Sakkvilag . (Peter Gyarmati , tournament director) "To my mind, Pal Benko straddled the chess world like a Colossus; one foot in the world of OTB chess and the other reaching to all the genres of chess composition. His endgame studies are at the highest level of our art. They are filled with novel and counter-intuitive ideas expressed with grandmasterly technique and a degree of economy that truly is pre-computer wizardry. In judging the Pal Benko-90 JT, I tried to reward deep plans and surprise moves, good technique and economy, and anything with a thematic ring to it. From among the 65 studies in anonymous form I received from Peter, I found eleven that satisfied. Upon further review, four studies fell out of competition due to serious duals. These seven remaining studies I recommend as the winners. 1st Prize Jan Timman XABCDEFGHY 8-+-+-+-( 7+-+-++-' 6--+-+-+& 5++-+-+-% 4-+-+-+-$ 3-+-+--# 2+-+-+" 1+-+-+-! xabcdefghy win 1.d1 [The reasonable looking 1.e3+? g4 2.d3 fails to 2... 2...f6! 3.xf6 e7 4.a1 g5=] 1...c1 2.e2 h3 [2...g2 3.d4+-] 3.g1+ [Not 3.c4? g2 4.c5 a3! draw] 3...h2 4.f2 [4.f1? g2=] 4...f6! 5.xf6 b2 6.c3!!

  • 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. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance.
