The Amateur Team East in Parsippany, New Jersey, is my favorite tournament of the year, because it displays the enormous diversity of us who love the game.
Men and women, young and old, novices, patzers and International Grandmasters, US champions, every ethnicity, every fashion, hirsute and bald, strong athletes and visually or physically challenged, geeky or cool, .... What other sport has such a spectrum of humanity in a single tournament.
Two Boston University teams and many Boston and Boylston players competed. I posted some photos at
