2013 Florida Stake Match (Earl Morrison v Joe Schwartz)
Joe
Schwartz and Earl Morrison had planned to play a separate "Stake Match" of 24
games; winner takes all ($1,000 stake each). The match was to follow the
Florida State Open tournament after a few days’ rest. I remember seeing Earl
working on the contract the evening we finished the Florida State. I think I
hear Joe had a 3-4 day cruise planned immediately after the FL Open. I understand
from talking with Joe (left a voice mail, April 9th) about the match, which was
extended to 40 games and mostly draws playing selected 3-move openings from the
156 deck. Joe indicated he had a few more wins over Earl, like 2-3. I'm not
sure how they divvied up the chips but know those two, they probably come to a
gentleman's agreement and took in more Florida sunshine and paradise!
