On 26 April 1907, the Authors Club in New York City held a giant banquet honoring Larovitch. It was a while before a Swedish newspaper reporter (a sportswriter) exposed the fraud as a lterary prank: That Richrdson Wright had made Larovith up while watching a game of chess between William Jordan and George Simpson. The Authors Club mebers went along with the hoax as it prvided great amusement for a while.
