    Dufrense and Lasker where guesses.

    Reshevsky v Fischer I recalled from My 60 Games and an intro to one of
    their games saying this was the delayed decider. (did not know the score.)

    GP: "Dufrense and Lasker were guesses."

    Dufresne is the correct spelling, but I don't dare try to pronounce it.

    Lasker was a darned good guess; given the year and the calibre of the opponent, it could only have been him or Steinitz, I reckon.

    You didn't recognize the word "quartgrip"--I presume you are familiar with the formation and how get a passer out of it, and that's what really counts.

    Spot on with the two endgames; straightforward counting exercises.

    My 60 Memorable Games--I knew you had that on your bookshelf. Easy one for you.

    Cheers, moonbus

    The Fischer vs Reshevsky match was not drawn - Fischer pulled out after 11 of the scheduled 16 games, hence he lost 10.5 - 5.5.

    Shrug. You stick with formalities; I'll stick with results that happen on the board.
