Laser - My girlfriend and I will be meeting IM Dean Ippolito this weekend at a Simul in N.J. as he attempts to break the Simul World Record. Check out the front page article about it or chessworldrecord.com for more info.

Have you ever met a chess luminary?
Sort:
This last weekend I had the great pleasure of meeting Jennifer Shahade at the Tucson AZ Chess Fest sposored by 9 Queens. She was a delightful person! She was there mingling and signing copies of her new book, "Play Like a Girl". I chatted briefly with her and had a picture of us together taken with my camera.
I know I sound like a total fanboy but I do like meeting people that have made an impression on me. I greatly enjoyed her other book "Chess Bitch" and like reading about her in general.
Anybody else meet anyone?
