anyone from Cambridge, Massachusetts?
Sort:
If so, Do any of you remember this chess player used to play by the Au Bon Pan (whatever how that’s spelled lol) in Harvard Square, he charged $2 to play, if you win, you get $3 and if you lose, he keeps your $2? Is he still there???
The guy with the straw hat? Confession: I'm not actually from Cambridge so I don't know if he's still there. Used to be the focus of a happening little chess scene, don't know what Harvard Square is like these days...Must be 10 years since I've been there. Where does the time go? Now that good weather is finally here, maybe I'll fire up the scooter and go find out (It's just across the river from me). It's probably as dead as Boston though.
Nope, not me Ron. I checked the closet to be sure and I don't own a dress that color...
Lol to the pic. Baddongno yeah I haven’t been in Boston for a long time...let me know if he’s still there. Yes I think he wore straw hat. He smoked Drum tobacco and drank lots of coffee.
"I said please come to Boston, she said no..."
Lmao 52yr
by the way it was a decent song 
I just get a warm feeling all over whenever I see folks making new friends on the forums, don't you?
Not from Cambridge but I live in Worcester. Any chess clubs/tournaments around here you know of?

US Champ, Larry Christiansen , Lesson provider on the Chessmaster Software Program, used to offer a free lesson to anyone who could beat him in a simul, Boylston chess club but I think he’d hold his exhibition simuls along the green line maybe, closer to the Boston area. Now he’s in Riverside California. But I wonder if he still does this in California?
