themaninblack 2,112 Posted May 22, 2012 Hmmm. Maybe there's a time lag before newsfeed articles in the Guardian are archived and then made available to find on Google. If Breck gets one, then Warren Stevens will surely get one. Maybe we have to wait... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,180 Posted May 22, 2012 I can never find those pesky AP/Guardian obits. I search in the Guardian and there's nothing there. What's the secret? Google their name in brackets i.e. "Les Leston" and select "pages from the UK" on the left hand side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estuarian Float 97 Posted May 26, 2012 I hate to bug you about this after all your hard work but on my Califorewarned team, my joker was changed from Sean Stewart to Jill St. John.

And the picture for Kenneth Pogson is another picture of Tres Shannon. Well spotted! It seems this is a sequel to an issue I had when doing the S pictures. I noticed that some of the coding used on the database was out of synch. I sorted one part of it, but it seems I messed up the picks part (the one that links the celebs to the teams). Should be sorted by the next update. As for the "Pogson" picture - I thought I'd seen his face before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,399 Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Jacqueline Piatigorsky is dead. http://www.derbydead...s_P.html#piatij http://www.latimes.c...0,3155113.story I am aware of the existence of the Piatigorsky Cup. Some of the games played by Fischer in the second one are classics. I wasn't aware that it was named after a Mrs. Piatigorsky, nor that a Mrs. Piatigorsky ever lived. The only excuse I can mumble is the fact that no woman at that time played at grandmaster strength, so their games were rarely published. Edit to add: apparently she wasn't too bright when it came to chess customs. That article writes: One of her earliest efforts — a 1961 match between U.S. champions Samuel Reshevsky and Bobby Fischer — ended abruptly after Piatigorsky postponed a game to attend her husband's evening concert. Fischer threw a fit and withdrew from the competition, allowing his opponent to be declared the winner. Fischer had a name for throwing fits, but in this case he was completely right. Games are not postponed, unless for health reasons of one of the players. regards, Hein Edited July 22, 2012 by Magere Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
