		A careful reading shows that Briton Ken Whyld, one of the game's most respected writers (he was co-author of The Oxford Companion to Chess), has packed a good deal of information in a small space.
		Whyld's collection begins with an offhand game of uncertain date played by the young student Lasker at a Berlin cafe, and ends with Lasker-Marshall, New York, May 1940, about 8 months before Lasker's death.
		Whyld also notes that with simuls, usually only a grandmaster's few losses and draws make it into print, and thus survive the decades, while his routine wins are lost to history.

	Parr on the OCTC again
		Whyld said he had seldom been lifted higher by such formidably phrased praise and never slammed down harder by such muscular condemnation.
		As for Hooper and Whyld, assuming for the sake of argument that they knowingly passed on this false or misleading information, their motives could have included grooming sources for future use, or their own ideological blinders.
		I never claimed that either Hooper or Whyld were in the service of the Soviet Union and all that the phrase "in the service of" implies in a historical context.

	LA STORIA DEGLI SCACCHI-Galleria d'Arte: "Chess Players" by Liberale da Verona - G. Ferlito (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The chess scholar, Ken Whyld, in the Chess Collector of April 1992 pointed out that Allen Stuart Weller, in 1943, attributed to Francesco di Giorgio a wooden panel, depicting a group of youths, in the collection of E. Berenson at Settignano (Florence).
		Indeed Weller recognized the panel as an "abducted left portion" of the panel depicting the "Chess Players" which he attributed to Franceso di Giorgio.
		Ken Whyld was interested therefore to know whether the panel in question was the same as referred by me as at "Villa I Tatti" and if it was possible to see a photographic reconstruction of the three panels as they are now identified as belonging to the same "cassone" painted by Liberale da Verona.

		Whyld's contributions to chess history are substantial, and promise to be enduring.
		Whyld wrote many full-length articles on various aspects of chess history, ranging from Alekhine's Nazi chess articles to chess automatons.
		Lasker was also a starting point for my friendship with Ken, as my stumbling across a previously unknown Lasker game in a Philadelphia chess column was the reason I contacted him early in 2000.

		Secondly, GM Evans may have felt constrained by the very fact that Ken Whyld had not yet raised the issue in print.

		However, Fiala is not alone in this labor of love: John Hilbert (author of the excellent, Napier—The Forgotten Chessmaster) and Ken Whyld (one of the most highly regarded chess historians on earth) also make important offerings.
