Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: 'Kill as you go': Former street chess wizard Joe Smolij advises Wellesley Hospital receptionist Joy Scott on the world's greatest game. Despite losing his memory after being found comatose in a frigid Pembroke St. rooming house eight months ago; Smoloj; who marks his 65th birthday today; has retained his ability to play superb chess. Phrases like Kill as you go! and Show no mercy! were among the street chess king's trademarks.
