Subject: Help - Chicago 1926 Tournament

I am looking for a PGN or CBV file with the games from the Chicago
tournament of 1926 which included participants such as Showalter,
Marshall, Torre, Kashdan, etc.

Any help at all would be very appreciated.

Thank You,

He is definitely remembered there. I visited his gravesite a few
months ago. There is a street named after him and a baseball field is
named after one of his sons.

He is remembered in his home town. The graveyard website
even calls him world champion.

The pictures that her family have given me do her extreme justice.
She was quite beautiful and I will be putting them in the book.

Would you be willing to share that interview with Nellie (and anything
else you have on Showalter) with me via e-mail, please?

Texas Tiger is the winner; dates from his days as a cowboy in Laredo.

He is an interesting figure; somehow the jobs cowboy, baseball player,
chess master give an interesting picture of a man willing to go his
own way. I recently found a very interesting interview by his wife, as
well, in which she opines (among other things) that the day is coming
when there will be female chess professionals. All interviewers fall
in love with her, though her beauty does not translate well in
pictures I haves seen.

My big frustration is that although I have stories from Showalter and
other chess players about his baseball career, I can't find him in any
baseball records of the time. If anyone can, please let me know!

Well, the only other states that he has been remotely affiliated with
are possibly Pennsylvania and Texas, so I will go with either "Texas
Tiger" (my first guess) or Pennsylvania Panther (like Taylor).

Yes, that was a pun on "Kentucky Lion."

Sorry I don't have anything on Chicago 1926 for you.

Hmmm, let's think of some possibilities:

The Louisiana Lynx
The Washington Wildcat
The Oregon Ocelot
The Texas Tabby
The Kansas KItten
The Pennsylvania Persian
The Arkansas Abyssinian
The MIssissippi Margay
The Carolina Caracal
The Michigan Mouser
The Virginia Varmint
The Chicago Cheetah
The Jacksonville Jaguarundi
The Central City Civet

But, it's probably something like "Pennsylvania Panther" or
"Tennessee Tiger."

Actually, it looks like it is even more obscure than I realized. I
came across it some time ago, and stored it away for use in a future
article if I ever dig up enough on Showalter's baseball career. I did
not realize I only seem to have one reference to it. Let me give you
this hint, which should be enough to guess the result if you know
Showalter's background

This is from the Sacramento Themis of March 24, 1889. Speaking of the
tournament we know as NY 1889, they describe such prospective entries
as Hodges (the Morphy of the West), and Showalter formerly of ....,
better known as the (name of state) (name of feline).

If you know Showalter's life before chess, and make a reasonable guess
on which feline makes a nice phrase on the state name, you will get
the answer.

I've only come across the nickname "The Kentucky Lion". If I've seen
another nickname, I can't remember it off the top of my head. I know
Mr. Brennan referred to him as "The Postal Lion" in an article years
ago.

Here's a trivia question that Rook House probably knows, but will be
new to most. Shpwalter had to different nicknames, both of which use
the name of a state and the name of a large feline, I am guessing most
people know one nickname, but not the other. What are the nicknames?

Then you probably already have than I do. CB MegaDatabase 2005 has
only 27 from that event. If you are missing any involving Carlos
Torre, I can at least supply his games vs. Jaffe, Kashdan, Factor,
Banks, Maroczy, Showalter, Marshall, Isaacs, and Ed. Lasker.

Microfilm is no longer necessary. Ohio State has the Washington Post
historical database, which is how I found the articles. If you have
access to the library from home, you can get the articles online.
Otherwise, you can do it from the library, and simply print them off.

In addition to the obvious advantages over microfilm, you can do word
search; remember, though, the word search is by no means perfect.

By the way, the September 5 article is a bit messed up; you have to
download the whole page as a pdf file to get it to work properly.

I have all of the ACBs for 1926 and 1927. They only give a blurb and
a crosstable of the final results.

There were 66 games played in the tournament and I have managed to
gather 29 of them in the last two days, so I'm off to a good start.

I will definitely check into Mr. Spinrad's suggestion of looking at
the old Washington Post articles. It's just going to take a while, as
I have to go to Ohio State University to access them by microfilm.

The American Chess Bulletin seems a good bet. Some years ago, Hanon
Russell stocked reprints of ACB annuals. USCF Sales might still be
carrying them.

I don't have any good sources on this time period; I try to stop at
1900. The only thing I found of interest in a quick search were the
columns in the Washington Post. They give the following games:

Sept 12: Kashdan-Marshall, Fink-Marshall, Showalter-Lasker, Fink-
Maroczy

Sept 19: Torre-Lasker, Showalter-Marshall, Torre-Marshall, Marshall-
Maroczy

Sept 26: Maroczy-Chajes

Oct 3: Marshall-Chajes, Banks-Marshall, Banks-Kupchik, Banks-Kashdan

Oct 17: Marshall-Kupchik, Torre-Banks, Torre-Kashdan, Kashdan-Maroczy

I really think the place to go is the chess magazines of the period; I
don't have these, but I believe almost all of the games should be able
to be found.

As a true curiosity, Peter Lahde's History of Chess in Tennessee has a
9 move win by Scrivener over Wight in the minor tournament of the same
event.

Yes, I am mostly interested in the Showalter games, but would still
like to put together a complete list of all the games. The cast of
this tournament was quite impressive (Marshall, Maroczy, Showalter,
Torre, Kashdan, Edward Lasker, Kashdan, Kupchik, Jaffe, etc.) and I
would like to have a complete tournament file on it.

No, it was not Showalter's best tournament, but as you already know,
he was 67 years old and retired from competitive chess at the time for
several years.

Thanks for the games you provided, it's definitely a start to putting
them all together.

Knowing your interest in Showalter, I presume it's mainly his games
you're after? CB 2005 has four of them, all Showalter losses (it was
not at all his best tournament):
