Talk:Fool's mate
|
|
- One such fool's mate was between Mayfield vs Trinks in 1959 and lasted only three moves: 1.e4 g5 2.Nc3 f5 3.Qh5#.
Mike Fox and Richard James in The Even More Complete Chess Addict (Faber and Faber, 1993) make mention (page 177) of a game with the same moves played in the 1959 US Open, but they claim the players were called Masefield and Trinka. Anybody know for sure, or are we going to have to say "some sources say this, others say that" in the article? --Camembert

- Thanks - I've changed the article to say "some say this, some say that" for the time being. Hopefully one day we'll find something by some pedantic chess historian that explains this inconsistency - it is, I'm sure you'll agree, a most important matter ;) --Camembert
