But a slight adjustment on that idea is to have a chess-//training// place
for serious study. About 8 years ago I knew a guy associated with USCF who
would have donated property and buildings to such a program - but our
estimate was that to bring it up to standard and also accommodate enough
people would have cost too much.

Phil, after all our acrimonious debate, I'm glad to have the
opportunity to help you out in a positive way.

For a chess study facility, you need a place free of distractions.
And,since there's not all that much money in chess, it needs to be
inexpensive.

I think I know of such a place: A little town a few miles North of
Glasgow, Montana (not far from where I grew up). Check some of these
prices:

From what I know, these places are in good shape and they have
reasonable access to Amtrak.. I've got a feeling you and Rob could
put this together.
