78 - Chess blitz
I remember some nights at the Chess Club Bolognese (the sixties and seventies) in which the disputed tournament blitz "in cadence" (the bell rang every ten seconds and the player who had the suddenly had to move). It 'easy to imagine that everything was given to the correctness of the players, because the poor could not run Mario Tamburni throughout the room to check that the person moved REALLY. Most storm of protest was the late Professor Dipietro (regardless of his remarkable playing strength).
I tracked down a game played with such a system at the Manhattan Chess Club in 1923. Otis was the conductor of the White Field, a regular visitor to the club and player money, while that of Blacks was Oscar Tenner, a player just arrived in the U.S. from his native Poland, and had played in several tournaments Poles and Germans, with decent placings ( in 1924 will be the 2nd to the championship, behind that Capablanca).
