This article originally appeared in the Montana Chess News. Kip
Limesand is a moderately strong Montana chess player.
Limesand's Immortal (L.S.)?
Doesn't Kip Limesand remind you of Paul Morphy? It's not the way he looks. He
doesn't play with his back to the board. He doesn't have the same aristocratic
contempt for his opponents. He doesn't have the same tubercular cough. Maybe
it's the brilliant moves that come literally spewing out of his finger-tips.
They don't literally spew all the time. They don't L.S. most of the time. Some
of the time? This may be the only example:
