I am 74 years old, retired, and live near San Francisco. I learned chess in the late 1950's, and played U.S.C.F. tournaments in the late 1960's . While living in New York, I used to go to a cafe in Greenwich Village named Rossolimo's where people came to play chess and which was named after its owner Nicholas Rossolimo, a retired GrandMaster. I then stopped playing actively until I retired 11 years ago.
Knowing I could play online, reignited my interest in and love of chess, and I currently play on both chess.com and red hot pawn.
