A number of years ago, a former college player entered the Philadelphia championship tourney, being held at the Franklin Chess club. He was of unknown strength, very precise in manner and dress and entered under the nom de guerre of C. Mone, Abie Klang was his first opponent. During the course of the game Klang's knight moved past one of his opponent's pawns on the fifth rank. Stopping his clock, the newcomer asked if it was permissible to capture the knight 'en passant.' Abie assured him that he could not, but to make the assurance doubly sure, Syndey T. Sharp, director of the tournament, was called in to give an authoritative decision on this important question. S. T. upheld Klang and the game went on. Abie (mentally) "what a boob, this game won't last long." He was right. His opponent shortly announced a mate in four moves. "There is a moral in here somewhere."
