NEIL FALKONER OF BERKELEY WINS CALIFORNIA OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP AT SANTA CRUZ
Neil Falkoner of Berkeley is to be congratulated for winning the California Open Championship from a field of 43 at Santa Cruz. The tournament was played last Labor Day and we have just received the complete report from the California Chess Reporter. Mrs. G. Piatigorsky, a member of the Hollywood Chess Group and who will represent the same group at the U.S. Ladies Championship Tournament in New York, distinguished herself by placing 13th out of 43 players and only losing one game outright. The latter actually should have been won. The following games show her interesting style and resourcefulness.
Arthur Spiller Simultaneous
Tuesday, October 2 at the Los Feliz Chess Club, Arthur Spiller, current State champion, defeated nine out of 10 players in a simultaneous exhibition. Dr. John Goffin of the Los Feliz club was the lone winner.
'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains:
“What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws -- https://www.youtube.com/@AuditTheAudit/videos
After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.
This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.
March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008
The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.
