Very nice MIke, thanks for sharing. How did you acquire these autographs?

USCF sold them as a fund raiser when times were tough,I bought # 61 out of 100. I think the price at the time might have been $25 which is plenty for 1996. Also came with all the Junior players to but the pic keeps on flipping even though it shows in my foilder right side up? If I do two right or left turns in the folder it still shows upside down, if you know what is wrong let me know please. I posted the Junior Signatures but still no world champs or contendors.

This is the first time I've looked upon this thread. Very nice story, goodknightmike. It must have been something being up against Petrosian. Please feel free sharing what it was like; your thoughts, feelings, what Petrosian looked like when he decided to resign. I look forward to playing through your game.

UpcountryRain, I really don't remember much from that game with Petrosian other than I was ecstatic. If i recall, Petrosian din not speak any English and it was just a quite hand shake when he resigned. Petrosian was well dressed wearing a suit and tie. His wife was at the simul with him and took many of pictures.

Excuse me, have you been successful in digging up the PGN? Thanks.
Finally after having some time to dig through a few boxes of my chess stuff I was able to find my Petrosian scoresheet. After 30...e4 Petrosian resigned. Moving his Knight loses material.
You were writing in Algebraic back then?
Yes, by 1976 wasn't everybody? Afterall, practically all English Chess Literature including the Chess Life and Review Magazine had made the transition to algebraic. And of course the Chess Informants and ECOs were already in figurine algebraic notation. I can't tell you how many mistakes I made with descriptive notation on my scoresheets before I switched to algebraic. For example, I have a descriptive scoresheet from a 1968 simul against Bent Larsen which is so screwed up that I can't even replay over the game. I drew the game and i did have Larsen sign the screwed up scoresheet. I probably could reconstruct the actual game, but I'm too lazy and don't want to spend all the tiime doing so. If any member wants to give it a try and reconstruct the scoresheet, let me know and I wil post it.
goodknightmike, please post, will take a shot at it.
Thanks mmorphy123 for posting your fabulous collection of signatures. What is your most prized autograph in the collection? My favorite is your Capablanca autograph. How long have you been collecting autographs of the many great chess players?
Below is my screwed up scoresheet against Bent Larsen. If this dooesn't put descriptive notation to rest, nothing will! Good luck trying to reconstruct the game.

Bill Lombardy if he given his all to chess and not go into the seminary in 1960 he could have possibly been in the top 10 in the world. My opinion he would have been. Yes he played a lot after his entry into the seminary but had little time to study. He had his ordination in 1967.
You can buy his book and have it signed. It is self-published but nicely dome by Russell Enterprises Inc. 312 pages. Not a plug but I think it is a nice collectors book, wish it would have been done in HC though.

Sounds exciting. We see nothing of the sort, here, in the Middle of the Sea.

But it says "currently out of stcok" I just got mine about 2 months ago. Would think he will be printing more up, just email him and ask.
Probably one of the greatest chess tournaments in US history was the 1963 Piatigorsky Cup. The field consisted of then World Champion Tigran Petrosain, Paul Keres, Sammy Reshevsky, Pal Benko, Miguel Najdorf, Svetozar Gligoric, Oscar Panno and Fridrik Olaffsson. Pictured is the 1963 Piatigorsky Cup program along with signatures of all 8 players. Tournament director GM Isacc Kashdan also signed the program. Keres and Petrosian tied for 1st with 8 1/2 points in this double round robin event.

goodknightmike, thanks for posting the signed 1963 program. I remember seeing a copy come up recently on ebay, but could not get hold of it.
Your welcome mmorphy123, it was my pleasure
The Larsen simul game in algebraic...
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cd 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Be3 Bb4 7.Bd3 d5 8.f3 de 9.Nxc6 bxc6 10.fe Bxc3+ 11.bxc3 Nxe4 12.Qg4 f5 13.Qxg7 Qf6 14.Bxe4?

White draws easily by capturing the g-pawn since Black's bishop is the wrong color for the a-pawn.

Thanks MoxieMan, but I can't follow you algebraic moves either. the move 8...d3 is not posssible. And you have 8.f3 and 10. f3 for white which is not possible.

My mistakes...will try to correct in the original. Should be 8...de for Black and 10.fe for White.
I have many signatures on one page but none of them world champs but maybe someone would like to see them? Sorry GNM from deviating from world champs. I still like Judit the best, much easier to look at then all those dudes.
