Lisa Lane 1972

Why would Gresser be in an article about Lisa Lane?

Gresser is mentioned in this series: https://www.chess.com/article/view/american-woman-part-i

Lisa was hotter, IMO.

Nice historical tidbit, its simple tales like this that can make history more real and moving. 

Here's Lisa Lane playing Gisela Gresser in the penultimate game of 1962 US Women's Championship at the Manhattan C.C. . Lisa lost this game and her title.

Nice image, Lane looked cute there.

Lisa Lane was mentioned in one of Bobby Fischer's interviews on the Dick Cavett show.

Do you have the rare pics of her playing in Moscow back around 1962? Love those photos  

Nice article.

Thanks. Lisa Lane was quite special in her day. 

Interesting post, thanks @batgirl

Thank you Alda. 

Bobby fisher Actually Commented on her in a lost video that was found on twitter about how she stopped playing because she got married and that she was never really that good (US Women's Chess Champion).

I can't stand wrinkly boards!

"To Tell the Truth"

Excellent post, as ever.  So many of these stories are bittersweet.  Caissa is so often unkind to her court.
