I am an elderly retired grandfather in the upper half of his ninth decade led to chess by his oldest grandson whom I am very proud of. Restricted to time available to play due to doctor appointments and travel time, I have to use the long "3 day".

My father was known as "Pop" by his children and grandchildren. Likewise, I am also known as "Pop" by my children and grandchildren. At times, my children and grandchildren jokingly say that I am a "Pop2".

Back in the 1950s, there was a popular "Be Bop Music Star" known as "The Big Bopper". Today, his hit recordings are well known on the "oldies" stations.

These two items illustrate how I became "The Big Popper2".
