GM Alex Yermolinsky
Chuck Sherwood
National Open, Simultaneous Exhibition
Las Vegas, 2003
Claiming his fame
(Reprinted from Chess Life, Winter 2004)
I'm writing you about the report on the National
Open held in Las Vegas concerning the Yermolinsky simul. You
mention a Parker Stewart and a David Slaughter as winners in
the issue, however, this is incorrect. My name is Charles Sherwood,
USCF 11022022, and I was the second player to defeat Yermo.
The actual game is posted on the Alaska Chess League website
at http://alaskachessleague.com ...... (it's a really nice
website, created and maintained by Rick Everett, ACL President).
The moves listed in the tourney bulletin are somewhat mistaken
toward the end as well-the actual ending moves played are listed
on the website. Too bad I missed my 15 minutes of fame, but
for posterity, I thought you should know.
The December issue was wonderful, thanks for
getting it back together. I opened the issue after reading
the cover thinking you may have even published the game, as
Chess Life does seem to publish upsets from time to time, but
alas, I even missed mention! LOL. My friends still believe
me though, because I have the tourney bulletin! Thanks for
a great addition to end 2004, it would have been a disaster
to send us another November magazine.
