  perfidious: Aka <colonel.moreau>, though Jack won rather more games than the illustrious Colonel, I am sure--certainly more than Col Moreau did at Monte Carlo 1903.

Strong, original player whom I have not seen in many years.

Dec-07-14  colonel.moreau: Hiya Alan and thanks for stopping by! I have long since given up tournament chess but I enjoy perusing books from time to time. After many many years of looking at "junk" openings I now enjoy mainstream stuff: Ruy Lopez (!), French Defense, Open Sicilian, Bb5 Sicilian, Giuoco Piano, Old Indian etc. I haven't played online in many years. (been there, done that) Anyway, chess is a very tiring game and I don't think I could finish a tournament without hanging pieces! Hope all is well with you.
Dec-07-14  zanzibar: A fun picture of Jack from June 1991:

<The Framingham Club:

Alonzo Ross, Drew Sarkisian, Adam Bemporad, Brian Wall, Jack Young>

http://www.metrowestchess.org/commu...

<Event Date: June 26, 1991

Tom Powers, then program director of the FCC, recalls that in 1991, the Club was invited to play the Boylston Chess Club in an exhibition match in Copley Square. A national architects society was holding its convention in Boston at the time, and its local branch made models of buildings from "old Boston" and "new Boston" into a giant chess set for the event. The board was set up for the week, and was used for kids' matches, public play, and for other chess promotions.

The FCC played two G/25 games against the Boylston Club. The format was consultive play, with each Club discussing strategies as a team before making its next move. The Clubs split the short series.>

Summer in Boston isn't such a bad thing.

  perfidious: While playing the Mass Open at Westford over Memorial Day weekend, it was a pleasure to have lunch with Robert Huntington and Jack. A good meal and reminiscences of bygone days alone made that trip a fine experience.
