A Brief Note of Appreciation: The research assistants wish to gratefully acknowledge the help of Mr. Peter Bottomly-Finch and Mr. Stuart H. Marblinton of Heffordshire upon Tees for their invaluable suggestions. Also, we are greatly indebted to Vladimir Postprovritsa for his superb translation of the Russian notes of Dr. Virgy Rathnova. Similarly, Mrs. E. M. Partusian has our everlasting gratitude for drawing our attention to the unedited Berlin 1922 edition of Capablanca's The 65th Square. In addition, we express our deepest appreciation for publisher Jonathon Littleweight's generous granting of reproduction rights from The British Chess Confederation's Chess Musings newsletter for a telling excerpt from Hiram Wallerstein's incisive article My Prey, Three Pawns, and a Plan, and, of course, we are, as always, eternally thankful for the irrefutable philosophical and theoretical foundation of the Game itself provided by Umberto W. Barton's inimitable and invaluable scholarly reference tome, Outside Life/Inside Chess: A Grandmaster's Encyclopædia.
