 The chess games of William James Lombardy
William James Lombardy was born in 1937 in the United States.
: I know someone who played in a tournament, in Wisonsin, against Lombardy, and said he was realy rude and obnoxious, was really acting like the "big star" because it was just a cheapie $200 tournament somewhere near Milwaukee, and of course,he was the biggest name there, sometime around the mid 70s or early 80s.
He was once telling a story about he and Fischer in Iceland and how he took the spark plugs out of the cars assigned to them in case Bobby got any ideas about sneaking off to the airport and booking a flight home.

 The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions: Painters of Reality: The Legacy of Leonardo and Caravaggio in ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A major international loan exhibition, "Painters of Reality: The Legacy of Leonardo and Caravaggio in Lombardy" featured some eighty paintings and forty drawings that document the North Italian region's distinctive emphasis on observation of the natural world, beginning in the fifteenth century with Leonardo da Vinci's stay in Milan, through the eighteenth century.
A central figure in the exhibition was Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio, through whom this naturalist approach came to Rome and became of key importance to Baroque art there and throughout Europe.
This last section, and the exhibition as a whole, took its name from a classic exhibition presented in Milan in 1953 in which the remarkable naturalism of these later Lombard artists, such as the great portraitist Fra Galgario, was introduced to a larger public for the first time.

 Taylor Kingston caught lying again, says that his Elo rating was 2300+
I compared Taylor Kingston to Grandmaster William Lombardy.
What I actually wrote was: Grandmaster William Lombardy has since told me that that he knew that the games were fixed ever since he became a strong player in the early 1950s because of the numerous suspicious moves in these games.
Regarding his claim to have been a 2300+ Elo rated player, after it was pointed out that the highest his USCF rating has ever been was 1853 and he has never has an Elo rating, Taylor Kingston said that in 1985 he had an 1806 correspondence rating which was the equivalent of 2300.

Among them were Grandmasters Pal Benko, Arthur Bisguier, Larry Evans, William Lombardy and future Grandmasters Walter Browne, Duncan Suttles and James Tarjan.
Byrne drew with Benko in round ten, enabling Saidy and Bisguier to tie him at 8½-1½; however, Byrne was clearly the favorite at this point as he had played all the other Senior Masters, while Saidy and Bisguier had yet to play Benko.
Bisguier was lucky to draw against Cleghorn, and Lombardy, pressing too hard in a level position, fell victim to time pressure and lost to Richard Verber of Chicago.
