How would you like to be
paired with this guy in the first round?! This is the image of 62 year
old Ex-World Champion GM Robert
James Fischer taken during his recent flight from Japan to
Iceland. I'm glad that he is now a free man; however, Considering some of his
recent statements, I probably won't be
inviting him to my grandson's Bar Mitzva! - LF

his clock. Meanwhile, the CCC's #3 player, 3 time NC Scholastic

prevailed over an
intractable Thomas "Dolby" Paradis (1832) and NM Leland "El-guappo" Fuerstman (2034) ditched the
exchange but made good use of his remaining Bishop pair versus Gary
