This lecture was recorded February 10th, 2021, at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Atlanta (CCSCATL) in Roswell, Georgia. Why am I posting this now? It's for channel consolidation and Ben is busy. It was originally posted on the CCSCATL channel on February 17th, 2021. Now it's here.

    I had to watch this after seeing Patrick win his game in Wolff style yesterday in the US Senior. As an old-timer, I remember him well!

    Damn, Benji knows everybody. One thing I like about Finegold is that he isn't overly involved with chess, he jokes about tunes from times gone by and teaches chess in a way only a GM could but brings details and draws games!

    When I was living in Paris, I met a girl who told me she knew a good chess player. As usual, I expected nothing much. I asked her his name, she said "Kamran." That's how I got to know him pretty well. Can you do a video about Shirazi?

    Wow. This name is not in memory now. I switched to bridge almost 3 decades ago. The only Wolff that comes to mind is Bobby Wolff. I think I remember Patrick but only because of this video. There is a Patrick in poker, the movies, and even Star Trek. However, Wolff gets tied to Bobby and bridge. I've gotten old.

    • @sallylauper8222

      Though never actually allowed to play bridge, I did learn the game at an early age. Starting a game of chess is simpler than starting a game of Bridge you see.

    I looove the thumbnail. Why? Because it includes a picture when the player of the past is young, so I don't think of him only as an old boomer but also as a young man. Keep doing that in the future.
