An advert for Camel cigarettes with Arnold Denker from the 1940’s.
This leads to a couple of RHP games with same idea as the advert.
A cracking Arnold Denker game from his youth.
A Sam Loyd mate in three.
The Zwischenzug with some RHP examples.

I live in Florida USA, and GM Arnold Denker was a chess fixture here until he passed away in 2005. He didn't play very much in his later years (he came to the State Championhip more for the golf than the chess!), but he owned whatever room he entered, and his Panama Hat became a trademark.
He was an excellent boxer in his younger days, so he predated the modern chess/boxing connection by about 50 years!
I took the liberty of sharing your blog on my club's facebook page, as all chessplayers in Florida will enjoy it. I made sure you got the credit! Here is the facebook link:
