Well, I moved to Quincy which is right buy he train and thus very
good for the handicap. Well, I had cable and the movie SEARCHING FOR
BOBBY FISCHER was on. I decided to watch it. I was enraptured. The next
day found me in the library reading everything I could on Chess.

Only after did I go in search of a game. I had always seen a group
of Chess players up in Havah Squah (Harvard Square). So I thought I'd
try there.


Fascinating story (all three parts).

Are there any good introductory books on the game you recommend? I've
played a little but never given it any serious study. I looked for some
books on Amazon recently but didn't seem to find much consensus in the
reviews.

This is my post. It's one of the best posts on the net.
I know what you're asking yourself 'did he post 5 or 6
times'? Well in all the confusion I kinda lost track
myself. So you gotta ask yourself 1 question 'do you
feel lucky, huh do ya punk ...'
