[BrianWall-ChessList] Jeffrey Baffo, Paul Nikitovich, Curt Carlson, Steve Jared on: Curtis Carlson always was and always will be a big, fat, loudmouth, greedy, materialistic patzer

[Brian Wall]

I have been studying Botvinnik's Half a century of Chess the last two days -
I used Botvinnik as a role model to go 4-0 at the Trick or Treat Open in
Lakewood. I realize I know two chessplayers who play " Correct Chess " like
Botvinnik - IM David Vigorito and Golden Knights Correspondence Champion Curtis
Calrson who always had my number, preventing me from reaching expert status for
half a decade.

I don't remember this game, believe it or not.  I agree with everything else you
say about me except that I am 6-4 and weigh 200 pounds, which doesn't make me
big and fat!  Steve Jared took chess lessons from me for a while but quit when
he couldn't afford my $5 hour fee.  I probably should have been paying him!

  The proof.

  I've been looking for this game for 32 years.
  Steve Jared handed it to me today at the 16th Street mall
  1977 was the year I went 10 tournaments with only one loss.
  My Reti by Golombeck book brought me my first Denver Open,
  Colorado Open victories. I won 4 tournaments in a row,
  including those two.

  In the Steve Jared - Curtis Carlson simul game Curt resigned after 16 Bc4.

  Steve had learned the line from a Chess Life article by GM Efim Geller.
  In the same simul, Martin "Tuna" Deschner's loss to Carlson's Polugaevsky
  Variation was published in the Colorado Informant. Steve Jared's moves were
  considered "too strange " by Colorado Informant Editor Haynes Hendee who
  thought Jared's brilliancies were typos. After all White is down Two Rooks
  and a Bishop for the final checkmate.
