Fails WP:CHESS, never won an important chess tournament, his only claim to "fame" is apparently being a murder victim in the premises of the chess magazine "Chess Review", where he was employed. Sophia91 (talk) 18:16, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Strong player, participant in two US championships and a champion of the US's strongest chess club of the time (Manhattan). Has two wins against Fischer. Fame is not dependent on getting murdered. Article is properly sourced. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 09:34, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Seems to barely meet WP:BASIC, not only because of the coverage of his tragic death, but also because quite a few of his games appear in chess game analyses, mainly on youtube. Walwal20 ^{talk ▾ contribs} 22:00, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Was a strong player, and a mentor to Bobby Fischer, and so his murder generated enough coverage to meet GNG [1][2]. P-K3 (talk) 00:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Better keep he seems to be a small chess legend, however formally didn't win internatinal or national championships. The arguments above illustrate that it's a tough choice if to keep or delete. His murder really helped him to gain a decent media coverage. --Synhuliak (talk) 19:06, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
