Endgame

It didn't seem so at the time, but in hindsight i think spending afternoons with my father watching Shelby Lyman doing the "play-by-play" of the Boris Spassky v Bobby Fischer matches on public television in the summer of 1972 may have been the weirdest experience of my life.

  • I also recall watching those matches, with my entire family.

    Weird that we both still remember the name "Shelby Lyman," too. His 15 minutes of fame lasted quite some time.
