Comments from the Guest Book
Kevin Sevarino, Cheshire CT, August 8th:
I'm an old college friend of Bill Weihmiller IIIs and was hoping he could contact me. Could you please pass on my contact information (sevarino@hotmail.com)? Thanks.
Martin Deschner, Denver CO, August 2nd:
50 published games? That's great! Just 10 more to catch up with Bobby Fischer and his 60 Memorable Games! Regards from Denver

Game Of The Week
I was playing in the Pikes Peak Open most of the weekend, so you get a quick game and a quick newsletter. Interestingly, Fritz will count resignations (if there is a mating combo) when you filter for games that end in mate and under a certain number of moves (even when the combo exceeds that number).
Sweet Sixteen
