Larry, if you're going to post under pseudonyms, you might want to be
careful about repeating various diagnostic words, phrases and sayings.
You last used "The mountain labors to bring forth a mouse" on 22 May
2005.
Anyway, please just answer my questions, and under your own name. I
repeat:
In hopes of stopping Larry from dancing around, I offer the following
quote, which appears on page 77 of "Viktors Pupols, American Master"
(The Thinker's Press, 1983):
"Larry Parr was born in Seattle in 1946 ... As far as his chess
successes go, he was 1st-3rd in an international Swiss (1970) in
Frankfurt, West Germany."
The author of this book is Larry Parr, so I would assume that you,
Larry, wrote the above, or it was added to the book with your knowledge
and permission.
Earlier in this thread you wrote: "Just because someone wins a Swiss
with players from many nations doesn't make it an 'international swiss'
.... The FIDE definition narrows itself to swisses which are eligible
for title norms."
So, keeping in mind your caveats, will you please tell us: how
did this 1970 tournament qualify as an "international Swiss"? Were FIDE
norms possible?
