4/24/2020 – Bobby Fischer, who has dominated the 2. Tournament of Peace in Rovinj/Zagreb from the beginning, seems to be tired. In round 15 he was close to a loss against Walter Browne (pictured) but miraculously saved a draw. However, Viktor Kortschnoi fared even worse against Mario Bertok. But tired or not, with his draw against Browne Fischer is now certain to win the tournament. With two rounds to go he leads with 12.0/15 and is two and a half points ahead of Kortschnoi, Vassily Smyslov, Svetozar Gligoric and Vlastimil Hort who all have 9.5/15.

8/23/2018 – For more than three decades Wolfgang Uhlmann was East Germany's number one player and in the 60s and 70s he was one of the world's best players. Uhlmann is particularly famous for his handling of the French Defense. After 1.e4 he invariably played 1...e6, no matter how well-prepared the opponent might be. Of course, he contributed a lot of ideas to the French. Conrad Schormann takes a look at one particularly useful and important defensive concept Uhlmann introduced into practice. | Photo: Eteri Kublashvili

1/11/2003 – They had organised a present of a bottle of vintage wine and placed it by his board.

But typically Walter Browne arrived five minutes late and missed everything! John Henderson reports from the US Chess Championship in Seattle in an article entitled Good ol' Walter Browne!
