re:Cambridge Springs to celebrate 100th anniversary - 2006/08/22 17:31 In the same breath george, I went they're twice.

There is a hotel they're that has allegedly sponsored a more recent tournament, with
DeLugy, Miles* & so on.

I hunted around for evidence of the great tournament in 1904, & their isnt a trace! The original hotel burnt to the ground; the historical society had a bit less as a lonesome singed pawn; & the archivist at the nearest university (Edinboro) had no material what ever.

Oh well the only reference I could find was in the library on microfiche, & it was

reported around the world.

For sure cambridge Springs was once a grand resort town betwixt NY City and Chicago, now half its stores on two modest streets in the town center are patently boarded up.

Cordially, Phil Innes

*If this event is held at the hotel that I suspect, there are still many chess photos on the walls and a photobook of the players at the reception desk (the games were held in the old ballroom). Get the barlady talking and she will tell you that Tony Miles had a great singing voice, and which Int'l
GM was the grumpiest man she ever met .

When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie Spaceballs. But instead it was dark and disturbing. Like that movie -- Police Academy.

re:Cambridge Springs to celebrate 100th anniversary - 2006/08/22 17:59 Once again I just frantically wish somoene would issue a nice commemorative tournament book of the original event. In some manner even though the tournament essenmtially launched ACB and the coverage there was very thoruogh, nevertheles this event could really use a Jimmy Adams "Paris 1900"-style modern book..
