[Event "Heart O'Dixie Open"] [Site "Huntsville, Alabama"] [Date "1963.05.30"] [White "Burnett, W.."] [Black "Scott, William"] [Result "0-1"] [Annotator "Rick"] [Variant "Standard"] [ECO "E56"] [Opening "Nimzo-Indian Defense: Normal Variation, Gligoric System, Bernstein Defense"] [StudyName "William Scott Games"] [ChapterName "Burnett, W.. - Scott, William"] [ChapterURL "https://lichess.org/study/D5ng0DQy/Q5di4jw6"] [Orientation "white"] { Scott wrote that a friend of his who lived in Huntsville told him the Chess Life announcement of the tournament, "which stated 'Open to All,' meant what it said. "I received the same cordial reception as others during the tournament, including staying at the Motor Hotel, site of the Battle Royal. I later learned that several other motor facilities have been open to all for some time without restrictions in Huntsville." Huntsville was a major NASA testing site and home to the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (which, Scott says, the players toured). NASA established lots of facilities in the South and actively recruited Black people to work in them. It would be a stretch to call the agency actively integrationist, but these moves were not a coincidence either. } 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 d5 5. Bd3 O-O 6. Nf3 c5 7.
