One year around 1972, the checkers world championship was held in Asheville, N.C. The winner was also a chess master. He had once played Bobby Fisher to a draw.

Can’t immediately recall, but may have been Smith. Noted for the Smith-Morra chess gambit. An early white gambit in the Sicilian Defense.

Did people who passed on playing Go collect $200?
To: SunkenCiv
Thanks. That is the vase I had in mind. But when do players call out numbers when playing checkers?

Hate the game, not the playahs.
