John Harsanyi

Post by James Pratt » Sat Apr 11, 2026 4:41 pm

The Economist Book of Obituaries a hefty publication that appeared in 2008, gives 2 pages mentioning chess in the opening paragraphs for John Harsanyi. His inset shows his set but the text wanders away from the 64 squares without specifics. Should we be remembering him, I mean, hereabouts?I'd love to act clever but I'd never heard of him ..

Died in 2000, so maybe this thread is better moved somewhere like Chess History?
