QUOTATIONS: CHIVALRY (1895) AND CAMELOT (1930 and 1931) 

"I consider Chivalry a remarkably interesting and amusing game of skill for young or old."  HARRY NELSON PILLSBURY  (United States Chess Champion 1897-1906)

"I have no hesitancy in saying that I think Chivalry superior to checkers."  H. DAVIDSON  (Chess and Checkers Expert)

"Chivalry is more easily learned than chess, since it is not so complex.  The possible combinations are entirely different from those of chess, but are equally profound and pleasing."  F. W. BERRY  (Chess Expert)

 “New as it is, the game of Camelot is a classic.  Camelot is America’s contribution to the world’s great games.  It is this century’s contribution to the great games of all time.”  ELIZABETH CLARK BOYDEN  (Noted Bridge and Backgammon author)

 “There is no question about the remarkable excellence and lure of the game Camelot.  It has given me real and exciting pleasure.  The author of the game has given us something that cannot fail to reach an immense permanent popularity.”  JOSE RAOUL CAPABLANCA  (World Chess Champion 1921-1927)

“Camelot is a remarkable game – I play it a lot.”  SIDNEY S. LENZ  (World-famous Bridge player)

“Not since medieval inventors developed Chess has there been a new game equaling Camelot in merit and interest.  I greatly enjoy playing it.  Its place is in the front rank of games.  It is a bright, active, lively game, much more exciting and fascinating than Checkers and far simpler and easier than Chess.”  FRANK J. MARSHALL  (United States Chess Champion 1907-1936)

“The game is one of dash, daring, plots, counterplots, unexpected happenings, putting Camelot in a class of its own.   It is a masterpiece in games – a new delight.”  E. V. SHEPARD  (Noted authority on Bridge)

“Unlike any other game in its unique atmosphere and charm.  It has added another pleasure to life.”  EMILY STANLEY WARREN  (Noted Bridge and Mah Jongg author)

“In Camelot Mr. Parker has originated a new and brilliant game of extraordinary fascination.  Easily learned, its liveliness of action opens the field for adroitness and strategy of the highest type.  Camelot is one of the few really great games.”  MILTON C. WORK  (World-famous Bridge bidding authority and author)

From the New York Evening Post of December 27, 1931:
"Capablanca, who has just left for Havana to spend Christmas at his home in Cuba, also explained some of the mysteries of the new game Camelot.  He then proceeded to defeat Jacob Maghloff of the Jewish Morning Journal in an exhibition match."
