Some people say
he's the most talented American player since Morphy. I read about a game
he played in Copenhagen, a draw against Najdorf. That was in 1948, which means that Benny
was eight years old. I've seen a picture of him at 13
in front of a whole bunch of sailors. He played against the entire team
at Annapolis without losing a game. Sounds like someone else I know
