ADAMS WINDS UP BUSY WEEK
Rounding out an action-filled week of lectures and exhibitions, Weaver W. Adams, 1948 U.S. Open champion, gave a simultaneous exhibition at the Pasadena Chess Club last Monday and left next day for Fresno in continuation of his transcontinental tour.
In Pasadena he played 21 boards, winning 19, losing to Syvertsen and drawing with Mrs. Kelley.
On the previous Friday he played 15 boards simultaneously at the Santa Monica Chess Club, winning 13, drawing with Ray Martin and losing to J. Kennedy.
The following evening he gave one of his popular lecture exhibitions at the Los Angeles Chess Club, 851 S Grand Ave., under the auspices of the County Chess League. He defeated Paul Quillen but slipped up in his game with Ray Martin, resigning after 33 moves. The games are presented herewith.
Last Sunday he gave a simultaneous exhibition at the Los Angeles club, winning all his games.
'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.

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.
