Kg4 48.Rg8+ Kh3 49.Rg6 Rxa2+ 50.Kd1 { I am not able to
reconstruct the end of the final game. Beatriz inello appeared
to be winning. In fact, I thought that Campomanes could almost
resign, but he seemed to hang on and had drawing changes, when
Beatriz made a horrific blunder, dropping a rook, and
resigned. Near to the end of the game, the position was
approximately as follows: 4R3/8/3k4/1p6/p1r5/3KP3/8/8 The final
moves were 64. Re8 Rc5+ 65. Kd3 (reaching the above position) Rc1
66. Rd8+ Kc5 67. Rc8+ Kb4 68 Rxc1 Resigns. The last position in
the game that I feel reasonably certain of came after 50. Kd1. At
that time, the position was 8/8/2p3R1/ppPp4/3Pp2p/1P2P2k/r3P3/3K4
with Black to move. After that, White captured the pawn with Rxc6
and after that played Rd6 Rxd5 Rh5 and captured the pawn on
h4. Meanwhile, Black captured the pawn on b3 with his rook and
ched his king over capturing the pawns on e3, d4 and c5. This
enabled the white rook to capture the pawn on e4. Unfortunately,
the players were moving too fast and I was unable to catch the
exact sequence of moves. If anybody wants to try to figure this
out, it would be appreciated. Sam Sloan } 1-0

I realize Larry that you must be deeply disappointed in the fact that
in spite of your frequent threats to kick me out of the shall Chess
Club (you never actually kicked me out) that I was back there last
night.

I did not "get access" to the games. I wrote them down as they were
being played. I was the only spectator. I find it rekable that
right now around the world thousands of chess players are analyzing
and studying these games and they will be published in chess magazines
and possibly appear in the obituary of Campomanes when he dies
(because there are very few published or reported games by Campomanes)
but had I not written them down, nobody would remember them, not even
the players themselves.

I doubt that they are going to tell you, as you are not exactly the
cat's meow at the shall nowadays, but I believe that the meeting is
this coming Monday.

These were five minute games. After Campomanes made his speech, he
said that he wanted to play some chess. Asa Hoffmann offered to play
him and offered to give him time odds. Campomanes said that he did not
want top give or receive odds. He wanted to play even. After their
game was over, Doug Belizzi brought over Beatriz inello and said
that she wanted to play. I grabbed a stack of scoresheets and started
writing down the moves.

Sam.

I sincerely believe that far fewer than 'thousands' of players are going to
go over these games.

Beatriz is, at best, a strong Class 'A' player and you finally got around to
mentioning that these are 5 minute games.

Why would anyone care about these games?

On another note, didn't you campaign against Campomanes long time ago?
