A big smile: Richard Kahn faces 8 yr old photographer prodigy
Sammi Pan. This portrait of Richard is just one of many
masterpieces of Sammi who is a natural for capturing
the radiance of human energy. Bravo SammiPan.
And bravo Richard for taking clear 2nd place in Quad 3
with 1.5 points. Richard sponsored the "Elaine Kahn Memorial"
(11/17/2012) in memory of his wife which IM David Vigorito
won and Mike Griffin took the U1800 prize.. This is the first time Richard
is playing at the BCC since the death of his wife. We welcome him
back and wish him continued good health and good chess!

have Evan to look forward to seeing in 2 or so
years.)
