My friends Rachel (Jim’s girlfriend), Jim Wilkinson (Chief of Staff of U.S. Treasury Department), and Katherine Neville (Best-selling author of the Eight and the Fire) at a private party to officially launch Katherine’s new book “The Fire“.
Katherine used one of my famous games in her new book. Can you name the game? 🙂

well, It’s time for reading the book “fire” ..congratulations about the game inserted in the fire.
Well, I think “the possible game” is
susan polgar- zbynek hraced in brno 1993. These my hypotetical dedution. is correct?. kisses and huges.
All excellent guesses but no. She found the game by doing her own research from reading my book Breaking Through.
Best wishes,
