<u>Gary Sherbell<u/> called. He went to <u>Bob Gellman</u> with <u>OPTION CHESS</u>.
Bob didn't look at it. Instead he had Gary <s>she</s> show it to
Frank (I'm not sure that is the right first name) Brady, who
-Gary was told- wrote a book on Bobby Fisher (spelling?).
Brady told Gary that he liked the other game (<u>NOVINKA</u>)
better because it was simpler.
<br>I told Gary that my understanding was that the fellow
who did the Fisher book was the one who made up the game -

let Gary know what I find out. Gary said that he had
rather lost interest in the matter. He did appreciate my
trying to help him.
<br>Gary said that Brady had mentioned a book "A History of
<u>CHESS</u> Variations" or something like that.
BB finally typed the letter to Ken Harrison on
<u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> - that I wrote on 12/17.
