hi John Excellent loss!! all the more so because you could have easily won or at least offered little Josh a draw this reminds me of an incident years ago during my active playing days it was 1978-1979 and was sitting in the now defunct Brooklyn chess club on a quiet Summers Sunday in walks a man with a young boy perhaps 8-9 years old he announces his son will take on all challengers ..the winner to receive $50 a draw means another game the kid was just barely 4 feet tall i was about 1900 back then perhaps 2000 i never saw a photo of this kid in any of the chess magazines so i didnt think he was a prodigy or something like that i agreed to play the position was about equal after 25-30 some odd moves when the kid asks his dad if he can have a telephone book to sit on so he could see the board better the club owner drags out two telephone books and the kid hops on top blew me off the board in the next 10 moves he never came back to the club and i have never seen or heard anything about him ever again they never mentioned his name True Story Regards
