Description

'I have two games - the easy, relaxed game that I played with you the other day, the cool, tight lipped deliberate game which I use when I am more anxious to win. So far, neither method seems anymore successful than the other.'

TLS signed 'Oscar,' one page, 7 x 10, personal letterhead, November 21, 1953. A letter to Frank Mandel. In part: 'I sent him the only copy of 'May Wine' that I could find, but he says it is a script that is so prehistoric that he doesn't even believe that we went into rehearsal with it. Have you a later version? Watch out for me when I come out there and we meet at chess the next time. I have two games - the easy, relaxed game that I played with you the other day, the cool, tight lipped deliberate game which I use when I am more anxious to win. So far, neither method seems anymore successful than the other.' In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
