chess: Spending Saturday with 160 of the Best and Brightest from Hawaii - 03/15/08 09:31 PM
I am writing this post during the afternoon rounds of The Hawaii State Scholastic Chess Championships. My good friend Guy and I are running the Championships in the big hall at Windward community college in Kaneohe, Hawaii.
