"Lost" Tinsley Analysis.....FOUND !!!!

Post by Jay H »

[size=18:df8d5bfa70][color=green:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]Greetings All[/b:df8d5bfa70][/color:df8d5bfa70][/size:df8d5bfa70],
[size=18:df8d5bfa70]I[/size:df8d5bfa70] am still [i:df8d5bfa70]fairly new [/i:df8d5bfa70]here on the forums, but I have started a few threads here and there. One of the threads I started is the “ [color=red:df8d5bfa70][i:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]History of a book[/b:df8d5bfa70][/i:df8d5bfa70][/color:df8d5bfa70]…” thread in the Sharing board.
[b:df8d5bfa70][i:df8d5bfa70]What that thread is[/i:df8d5bfa70][/b:df8d5bfa70]……
As I am going through my inventory of books, if I find any books with a “History”, or that are interesting, I post images.
(If any of you have not seen this thread, [u:df8d5bfa70]check it out[/u:df8d5bfa70]! There have been some [u:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]wonderful[/b:df8d5bfa70][/u:df8d5bfa70] contributions other than my own!! :headbang: )

I was inspecting a beautifully preserved copy of Miller’s Three-Move Chart, formerly owned by Earl Hangen, and although I could find nothing on the [i:df8d5bfa70]history of the book itself[/i:df8d5bfa70], I [u:df8d5bfa70][i:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]did[/b:df8d5bfa70][/i:df8d5bfa70][/u:df8d5bfa70] find, [i:df8d5bfa70]folded up and tucked inside the front cover[/i:df8d5bfa70], [img:df8d5bfa70]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c100/fire_net1/893whatthe.jpg[/img:df8d5bfa70][img:df8d5bfa70]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c100/fire_net1/893whatthe.jpg[/img:df8d5bfa70][img:df8d5bfa70]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c100/fire_net1/893whatthe.jpg[/img:df8d5bfa70]
[b:df8d5bfa70]this little gem[/b:df8d5bfa70]…

:D :D :D

[size=18:df8d5bfa70]I[/size:df8d5bfa70] just wanted to [i:df8d5bfa70]share[/i:df8d5bfa70] this historical find with the fraternity, so I posted this here in “General”, as opposed to the “Sharing” or “Game” boards, as I know that a lot of forumites, and/or “lurkers” [i:df8d5bfa70]do not [/i:df8d5bfa70]visit the other boards. And I wanted [b:df8d5bfa70]all[/b:df8d5bfa70] checkerists to see this…as this proves that things of this sort are [i:df8d5bfa70]still hidden[/i:df8d5bfa70], and [b:df8d5bfa70]can still be found[/b:df8d5bfa70], lurking around in book collections…..[color=red:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]one just has to look…!!!![/b:df8d5bfa70][/color:df8d5bfa70] :!: :!: :!:
I do not know if this is “cooked” play, or published. And [b:df8d5bfa70]I[/b:df8d5bfa70] am certainly [u:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]not[/b:df8d5bfa70][/u:df8d5bfa70] qualified to comment on it’s “soundness”, [color=red:df8d5bfa70][size=18:df8d5bfa70]….[u:df8d5bfa70][i:df8d5bfa70][b:df8d5bfa70]but you may all “dig in” if you like !!!![/b:df8d5bfa70][/i:df8d5bfa70][/u:df8d5bfa70][/size:df8d5bfa70][/color:df8d5bfa70]
[b:df8d5bfa70]And[/b:df8d5bfa70],
[color=darkred:df8d5bfa70][size=18:df8d5bfa70]As always, [/size:df8d5bfa70][/color:df8d5bfa70]

[color=red:df8d5bfa70][size=18:df8d5bfa70]Comments to this thread are welcomed, encouraged and appreciated !!!!![/size:df8d5bfa70][/color:df8d5bfa70]

Jay,

Thanks for sharing with us. My two cents worth....
These lines of play are pretty much right out of America's Best Checkers, so I don't think there is anything new to the literature here (but they are still good, timeless lines). I was not personally familiar with the play in column 5, which features a nice stroke. A couple other later improvements to note:

Column 2, note A: Instead of 13-17, Oldbury's 2-6 draws, as analyzed in ACFB 161 (and briefly mentioned in Basic Checkers), although white has strong attacks available.

Column 5 note A: Instead of 1-6, a draw is available with 11-16 19-15 16-19 15-11 8-15 18-11 9-18 as published by L.L. Hall (and maybe also ECB G. 6050)

Greetings Rich,
Thanx for the research, I had played through the games...and I got out my Churchill's, ( first time in ten years !!! lol), and I had forgotten that one needs a degree in "Cherckeranalysis" to be able to use CC... :lol: :lol:
I figured someone with some expertise would check it out.....( or, should I state, I was hoping...)
THANX AGAIN !!! :D :D
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
