Sam will you play me a match? I need to get my rating up over
2100 quickly if I'm going to be able to afford to play.

If I can get you, Tanner and Weinstein to play me a few matches I think I
can make 2400 in no time. Then I'll easily get the 50 million dollars entry
fee down to a manageable 1 million or even a paltry 250,000.

Should I get a bus ticket to Hell's Kitchen if that where you
live still? I have a pocket leather set similar to the one Booby
has or had can we play on that? I don't have a chess clock but I have
an egg timer and I'll bring it along.

Good point. It took me a while to realize that you are joking of
course.

Hell's Kitchen is generally regarded as the area between West 42nd and
50th Streets and between 9th Avenue and 12th Avenue in Manhattan. The
Manhattan Chess Club, when it was located at 353 West 46th Street, was
in Hell's Kitchen.

When my old girlfriend, Passion Julinsey, (the one who claims that she
was never my girlfriend), moved out on my house in Brooklyn in 1998,
she went to live in Hell's Kitchen. She must have thought that it was
a big improvement. Everybody thought I was slandering her when I said
that she lives in Hell's Kitchen now, but that was where she really
lived.

However, I have never lived in Hell's Kitchen. Too upper crust for me.
