79 Newbury St., Boston
.

All are invited to observe the games and cheer on your favorite chess-master at 79 Newbury St. in Boston.

The quad will play a double round-robin format at G/25, so color advantages will be balanced and the games should be quick, intense and action-packed.

Play is outdoors and observers can get quite close to the boards. The day is sunny and hot. A walking talking robot is amusing. The players will be contending until about 4:30 so if you are in the area, drop by.

After a light lunch, round 3 started. TD Bernardo Iglesias will phone in an update after each round is complete. Play is expected to end around 4:30.


(If you want to pick-up one of the $300,000 chess sets by Aldo Marsili on display, that can be arranged; or you may just watch the players use them.)
