Sam Sloan's Chess Peak
I believe that I reached my peak playing strength in chess in 1965-66.
I was only 21 years old but after that I discovered girls and went
straight downhill.
I got strong because in the Fall Semester 1965 I went to the National
University of Mexico in Mexico City to study Spanish. I spent all of
my spare time playing chess, priily at the Club Metropolitano,
which was a billiards parlor with a chess room upstairs located at
Tacuba 15, opposite the Zocalo.
I spent most of my time playing chess for money against a chess master
named Pollero, which means chicken dealer. His real name was A.
Redondo, but everyone called him Pollero.
The manager of the chess club was Alejandro Baez, a renowned chess
master, but he never played because he had had a heart attack and his
doctor had told him that playing again might prove fatal. However, I
saw him analyze and he was clearly a master. He could find deep
combinations nobody else could see.
I also played in serious tournaments. I did well and I played against
all of the top players in Mexico at one time or another.
I did not neglect my studies because while playing chess I also spoke
to my opponents in Spanish which improved rapidly. I came to Mexico
not knowing a single word of the language except for si and no and I
left fairly fluent. My ability to speak Spanish is something I have
put to good use almost every day for the rest of my life. I certainly
use it every day today.
Before going to Mexico I had been given the address of a
correspondence chess master there named Hector Jurado. Jurado had a
perfume shop located at 400 Insurgentes named Perfumera Ritz. He
helped me find a rented room right behind his shop in back of a
beautiful home located at Tlacultalpan 18. There were a bunch of young
Mexicans living in that home including two sexy girls that I realized
years later that I could have slept with if only I had asked. I was
such a nerd that I had not yet discovered the readily availability of
women at that time.
I qualified to the finals of a major chess tournament called Tourneo
de Tablero de Oro, which meant tournament for the Golden Chess Board.
Supposedly a golden chess board was to be awarded as first prize. I
qualified to the finals by defeating Alejandro Araiza Joven. His
father, Alejandro Araiza Senior, had been champion of Mexico for more
than 25 years. By then he was too old and although he came to the
tournaments he just watched. I was told that Baez had always been
stronger than Araiza anyway.
The masters I played in Mexico City were Armando Acevedo (three
tournament games), Willy De Winter, io Campos Lopez, Guillermo
Restrepo. Alfonzo Ferriz and Iglazias.
My best friends in Mexico City were Rubin Galicia, Jurocho from Vera
Cruz, and Escondrillas, who were all Class A players. I once played
three games blindfold chess simultaneously against all three of them
and won most of the games. This was a good result for me because
Escondrillas was still a boy and he later grew up to become a chess
master.
When I got back to EEUU, I discovered that I was much stronger than
before. I played in the Bay Area Chess League representing the
University of California at Berkeley and I scored 6-1 against
opponents averaging 2150. That gave me a performance rating of 2450.
Players I defeated included David Blohm, George Kane and Alan Bourke.
I believe that it was at this point that I reached my peak strength in
chess.
It was at about this time that I defeated three masters in a row in
the Mechanics Invitational Chess Championship in San Francisco I
defeated Rex Wilcox and Jim Schmidt and one other chess master at a
time when Wilcox and Schmidt were the two strongest players in San
Francisco, not counting William Addison who was vastly stronger than
them. I also defeated Aki Kanimori.
With a great future ahead of me at age of only 21, what happened to my
great chess career?
I discovered women, something I had not known about prior to my trip
to Mexico. I decided that the most fruitful and productive use of my
time was to organize sex orgies. I organized 42 of them, involving a
total of 1200 participants. Between October 1966 and December 1967 I
slept with 52 different women and I kept all of their names and other
details neatly recorded in a notebook (which I have since lost). I
remember most of their faces but only a few of their names. I played
almost no chess except that I did play in the 1966 US Intercollegiate
Championship in State College, Pennsylvania. The game I showed on my
chess TV show last week, Carl Wagner vs. Sam Sloan, where I forced a
draw in spite of being a pawn down in the endgame, was from that
tournament. I also played in the 1967 American Open in Pasadena where
I defeated Walter Browne (but immediately after that I lost to Walter
Harris and John Blackstone and did not have a good result.)
By then, I was already in the process of being run out of town in
Berkeley where my notorious sex orgies had reached the newspapers, so
I decided to vamoos and get out of town while the getting was still
possible. I moved to New York City and almost completely stopped
playing chess and when I did play my results were generally poor,
although I did finish clear second on the 1969 US Amateur Chess
Championship, defeating Michael Shahade (father of Greg and Jennifer)
in the last round. The game was published in the New York Times.
Since then, it has all been downhill. I have never studied chess
openings since but instead have made up my own openings. I do not
believe that I have ever gotten back to being as good as I was in
early 1966.
Unfortunately, I lost all my game scores when I abruptly had to leave
Berkeley at the end of 1967. I have only two games scores for the
entire period from 1965 to 1966 and the only reason I have those two
games is that Armando Acevedo, former Chess Champion of Mexico, was
kind enough to send them to me recently. I thank him for this and if
anybody else has any games I played from 1964 to 1968 please send them
to be because I do not have any of them.
Here are the only two games I do have.

Actually, most newspapers are kept on "Microfiche."
Before the internet, I used to have to spend one or two days a year in the
main branch of the Philadelphia Public Library going over the opening odds
lines for basketball games. Very tedious experience.

I can't believe no one's commenting on the "orgies" story. I can't
believe someone
would admit to participating in one, let alone organizing them!
Only in America, I guess...

I believe it is the New York Public Library, not the New York City
Public Library. If you live in Brooklyn or Queens, I believe you are s
erved by a different public library, right?

It's that BIG building on 42nd and Fifth in Manhattan with the statue of the

The game was published in Mid-1969. However, I have been trying for
years to recover the clipping. I asked Robert Byrne about this. He
said that this was before he had the chess column and his records do
not go back that far.
Here is the actual game. I also defeated near masters Matthew Katrein
and Myron Zelich in the same tournament. This is a nice game. You can
see why it was published. It ends in checkmate.

The NYC Public Library has most every paper ever published, dating back over

By the way, I would no sooner brag about your opening repertoire than I
would about a 35 mph tennis serve.

Horsefeathers. The NY Public Library is a joke. Nice building though

Maybe it's a CCA title, given to those who win the u-2200 section.
