How can Lane have had an Elo rating of 2002 in the early 1960s when those ratings were only introduced in the ´70s?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zamora1934 ( talk • contribs) Zamora1934 ( talk) 19:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC) 9:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, got it. It was introduced in the US earlier than elsewhere. I didn´t know that. As professor Elo was Hungarian I was unaware of that fact.

SpuriousQ, thx for editsum msg. Did find this add'l Fischer quote re Lane from 1961 Sports Illustrated article, don't know if it's worth consideration or not for inclusion re balancing the "fish" quote:
"I think Lisa can go to Yugoslavia and win the candidates' tournament," said Bobby Fischer, after analyzing Lisa's games, "and then go on to Moscow and win the women's championship of the world."

in the line "and took her first U.S. Women's Chess Championship in 1959 at the age of 21", how can she be 21 in 1959 and born in 1933?
One of them is wrong. 128.243.2.19 ( talk) 13:02, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
It seems that her date of birth is incorrect.
1938 not 1933

Also, contemporaneous report in Sports Illustrated puts her age at 22 when she won US women's championship https://vault.si.com/vault/1961/08/07/queen-of-knights-and-pawns 128.243.2.19 ( talk) 13:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Some people at the NY Times who don't understand Putnam County geography treat Lisa's home having a Carmel mailing address (like the great bulk of the Town of Kent and a smaller proportion of the Town of Carmel) as meaning her home was located in Carmel even as they admit that it is Kent's Town Clerk who registered it (a death is registered by the clerk of the municipality in which it occurs...my father died at home in Kent and my mother in a hospital in Carmel,I have copies of both their certificates).
Her home on Miller Hill Road was about a mile from the Dutchess County line even if Google Maps calls it "Carmel Hamlet" (the built-up area around Lake Gleneida where the Carmel post office and Lisa's old store are/were located)...you'd have to drive about 8 miles from her place to get to Carmel. 71.105.190.227 ( talk) 18:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Lisa Lane [...] died on Feb. 28 at her home in Carmel, N.Y., in Putnam County. She was 90. Her death was confirmed by the town clerk’s office in nearby Kent, N.Y., which registered her death.As for conflicting sources and RS hierarchy, do we simply say The Times trumps Slate and leave it at that? (Perhaps our ip editor will resolve this matter with some hyper-local but solidly reliable source.) -- Cl3phact0 ( talk) 21:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
