	The Campbell Report - "On the Square" article
		Substantive Flaws: The most glaring and pervasive of substantive flaws, of course, is that Varnusz never mentions Kenneth Whyld or his extensive work on Lasker.
		Unfortunately such an explanation overlooks the fact that Whyld and The Chess Player in fact put out a three volume predecessor work on Lasker, the third volume of which was published no more recently than 1976.
		Whyld's book includes all ten seriously played individual encounters as well as nine examples of consultation play, from the same two week visit Lasker paid to the City of Brotherly Love.

	Articles, TOUT-FAIT: The Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal
		While this short survey of chess in Duchamp's life and art covers only twenty-five years of a long and distinguished career and leaves out many interesting and interrelated activities in both fields, it is clear that his contributions to both pursuits did not go unrecognized.
		Though the pieces in a chess game do move, it is important to remember that the pieces are merely physical markers for a contest that is principally mental.
		Described in The Oxford Companion to Chess as "perhaps the most important chess book in English" (Hooper and Whyld 265), Murray's 900-page History, the culmination of fourteen years of research, is an exhaustive exploration of the development of the game from its beginnings in the East to modern chess.

		Even more unfortunately for him, ‘Janowsky’ was the spelling used by Whyld himself on, for example, page 11 and page 12 of his book Chess The Records.
		Whyld’s use of the phrase ‘sloppy pedantry’ was an ill-advised attempt to be clever, oblique retaliation for our having described his friend Bernard Cafferty as a ‘sloppy pedant’ on page 299 of KCK.
		Remarkably, though characteristically, Whyld twisted that question into a ‘claim that Wood was wrong’.

		In addition to the 1,390 games appearing in the book, Whyld has provided an equally valuable treasure for the researcher in his detailed listing of all known simultaneous displays Lasker gave, listing when available date, location, number of games played, and how Lasker faired in terms of wins, losses, and draws.
		For example, according to Whyld, Lasker was known to have played a simultaneous exhibition at the Mercantile Library Association in Philadelphia in the spring of 1905.
		As with the exhibition by Lasker above, for which Whyld had not yet been able to give some of the specifics, another exhibition Lasker gave in Philadelphia six years later can now be elaborated on.
