Chess Notes

Edward Winter

When contacting us by e-mail, correspondents are asked to include their name and full postal address and, when providing information, to quote exact book and magazine sources. The word ‘chess’ needs to appear in the subject-line or in the message itself.

6197. Who?

Identifying this chess writer (he authored two books on the game) may prove especially difficult.

6198. Masters’ reports on simultaneous displays

Nigel Short (Athens) asks for striking examples of magazine reports by leading masters on their simultaneous displays. Of particular interest will be reflective accounts, rather than the mere chronicling of results.

6199. Postage stamps

We note further postage stamps issued by Cuba in 2008 which feature Capablanca:

The well-known shot of Capablanca at the board was published on page 414 of CHESS, 14 July 1936:

6200. Mr and Mrs Piatigorsky (C.N.s 5432, 5436 & 5443)

Jules Welling (Best, the Netherlands) is seeking games played by either Gregor or Jacqueline Piatigorsky.

Assistance from readers will be appreciated. A brevity won by Jacqueline Piatigorsky against Mrs W.W. Owens was given in C.N. 5436, from page 23 of the January 1952 Chess Review.
