Chess for me, began seventy two years ago in 1951, when I was 13, on a boring foggy San Francisco summer day. Six friends and I got several chess books at the library and learned to move the pieces.

We used a red and black checker board and cheap plastic hollow pieces that always fell over all the time. They came in a forty game box. I am now 86 today my birthday. Still moving the chess pieces around . . .
