Miguel (left) has less eight months of playing rated chess and has been improving his chess rating weekly and recently drew a 1700 rated player. He's fearless and always trying to learn new chess tricks. Great Job!!
What a fantastic chess club tournament we just completed. Three weeks and 48 games of competitive chess. I want to thank all who participated and also my good friend Bill Klippel for the encouragement.
The best Danish chess player of all time, Bent Larsen, died yesterday, Thursday September 9th, 2010, after a short illness. He had suffered for a number of years from diabetes, but it is not yet known whether this was the cause of his death. In the latter part of his life Larsen resided in Buenos Aires with his Argentinian wife Marta. He will always be remembered.
