Seems far too much on patronage, but this seems to have been the first section written.138.130.201.204 06:05, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes. Since the text smelled 19th century i googled a portion of it and found the source. See my changes in the article. --Fred chessplayer 12:44, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

'three simultaneous blindfold games is another matter' - WP itself details that the record for simultaneous blindfold is 34 games, with a number of people having unofficially performed more than that (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindfold_chess). To suggest that 3 is still remarkable is misleading.Neduardo (talk) 13:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Number of editions

A sentence under "chess career" reads ... it went through about 70 editions and was such an advance in chess knowledge that it went through 100 editions .... One of these numbers of editions needs to be deleted, but I don't know which one. Bubba73 (talk), 03:58, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

It has been fixed. Thanks Fred. Bubba73 (talk), 18:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
