Chess Friends

Submitted by Anda on Fri, 10/09/2009 at 6:37pm.

I live in Pennsylvania and one of my dearest chess buddies lives in Massachusetts. We have gone for many walks together, connected by cell phone. A group in England got wind of this and got such a kick out of the very idea that they named us the "Walkie-Talkies." Well, we decided to meet, and so it came to pass that cakeyes and gtm rang our doorbell on the 20th of September and announced, "Here we are!" There were hugs all around, as though we'd known each other for a long time, instead of having just met that instant. And we had a GREAT time. The pictures below depict some of the things we did together.

Those sweatshirts that kkeyes is referring to above were not that easy to read in the picture I took, but all three of us got one. On them, emblazened in bold letters, was the saying: "Forgetfulness is a sign of genius." All of us are geniuses!!!!!!!!
