        For those who collect memorial/commemorative issues, this would be a good one to get. It commemorates Bobby and also the 50thanniversary of “My 60 Memorable Games”.

        Readers were asked to give their opinion on the legacy of Bobby and also the game of his they remember the most. Both of mine got in.

        The game is Fischer vs. Geller, Bled, Round 6, September 10, 1961. A Ruy Lopez. It was featured in a chess magazine and I was sitting in Queen’s Park in Toronto on a coolish day showing it to a young lady who wanted to learn chess. I used a plug-in board to demonstrate Fischer’s win.

        Ah, the days of one’s youth!

                  April 6, 2020

                  With no over-the-board games being played, what does a chess magazine do in the way of content?

                  It can report online and correspondence games. It can give games from the past or, do what the ACM proposes to do:

                  To all subscribers!

                  In the absence of chess tournament games, we thought it would be a great idea to use this opportunity to make the proverbial lemonade out of lemons by asking our readers to submit their best game or their favorite game —or their most dramatic game with their own notes —the more you write the better! We will also offer a $100 prize to the best effort by a subscriber. We hope hundreds of games come in!

                  Submit them to editor@acmchess.com
                  Deadline: April 30th.
                  Format: PGN or CBV, or the Word file, or any other readable format.

                  If you haven't already been published in a national magazine, then here's your chance! You can show your effort to your friends. They will envy you!

                  If you're a titled player, as we do have grandmasters and international masters among subscribers, then again —you're welcome! We will have a separate $100 prize for the best titled player game (GM, WGM & IM, WIM).

                  You have the time. Let's use it! Many thanks!

                    __________

                    Because this issue featured a newly-minted GM, I wondered how many GMs there are in the various countries. The latest list I could find was at:

                    https://ratings.fide.com/topfed.phtml

                    and gave these:

                    1. Russia 256 GMs
                    2. USA 101 GMs
                    3. China 48 GMs
                    4. India 64 GMs
                    5. Ukraine 93 GMs
                    6. Armenia 44 GMs
                    7. Azerbaijan 26 GMs
                    8. Hungary 58 GMs
                    9. France 50 GMs
                    10. Poland 45 GMs

                    34. Canada 14 GMs

                    The list is undated. I would really like to know the numbers for June 2020.

                      I count 1773 GM's including some titles confirmed in 2020. However up to date to June I don't know.

                        When I was a kid there were only 100 GMs and it was likely to have played through a game of all of them. Who are these people? And how many have written a chess book of their best games? Does there need to be a new title for the top 100? Even 100 GMs in the US, and we can only get a couple to play in Canadian events. Maybe we need to make a list of medium-low rated GMs to tour in several norm tournaments across Canada.
