SUMMERTIME OUTDOORS
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
International Master John Bartholomew
takes on all-comers in "The Pit" Harvard Square's
current center for casual chess.
IM John Bartholomew: FIDE 2455; USCF HIGHEST
RATING ATTAINED: 2555; from Minneapolis, MN,
with a 67 percent score, overall.
John is a congenial, generous person who offered
to play all-comers, free. He is a popular figure on
the Internet with his youtube instructional
chess videos. Bravo, John! Great show!
CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY
The local chess community is anticipating the completion
of the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Campus Center
(former Holyoke Center) Harvard University's
administrative building, in 18 months, which suggests
that, given the normal construction delays, we will not
be seeing summer chess in this location until 2020.
The building will include a cafe with chess activity
inside as well as an outdoor plaza with chess
and games tables provided for general public usage.
[I handed out lots of business cards to alert
the crowd that the BCC is one of the top
chess clubs in the USA and is just
up the street from Harvard Square!]
