Not many realize this, but Fred Reinfeld also had a career as a professional ventriloquist.

Are you calling Shainswit a dummy?

Actually one of the three players above was named by the USCF "teacher of the century."

I know, I know:  "I could learn a lot from a dummy"...

TheOldReb

Its Collins I believe 

batgirl

Your belief is absolutely on the money, Mr. Reb.  Jack Collins, central in the photo, was named teacher of the century by the USCF, presumably for his hand in RJF's chess education.  I'm impressed.

AndyClifton

Wow, so Reinfeld wasn't named the Teacher of the Century?  What a gyp.

AndyClifton

Like I didn't know that...? lol
