Not accepting new games; will be on hiatus from chess for a while...
One of my early chess teachers was grandmaster Jude Acers (whom I met at age 15),
aka: "The Man in the Red Beret" in New Orleans.

"Funny, funny Jude. You play with little pieces all day long, and you know what?
You’ll live to be an old, old man someday. And here I am."
