Frank Street

Apr-25-05  aw1988: Now THIS is a namesake!
Jul-19-09  myschkin: . . .

Frank Street (born 1943) from the USA.

".. Frank became a Master in 1965, during a turbulent period when social protestation movements were blazing their respective trails for liberation. Perhaps Black chess Masters in the 60s were making their own mark in the sense that they helped to advance the notion that Blacks could compete at high levels in "intellectual" sports. .."

  Fusilli: When they make a movie about him, I think Dule Hill will be a natural candidate for the lead role.
May-05-18  wrap99: If Frank himself looks up his own bio, I met you 40+ years ago, I think through Larry Nezhni... Interested in any updates.

  wwall: Was he born in 1943? Chess Life, June 1965, p. 119, says that he was 20 years old when he won the 1965 US Amateur championship. That would make him born in 1945. He was rated 2214 in the rating list of the Aug 1965 issue of Chess Life. He was back down to 2166 in the Apr 1966 issue of Chess Life.
