I am a man in my fifties. I have a job and family and play chess for a hobby. I work weekends so I am limited in when it comes to real tournaments. So I enjoy reading about and studying chess I play on FICS (as PrudentStudent) and am currently trying to learn Nigel Davies repertoire for old men (English, French, Franko-Indian). And I troll around the web looking for interesting chess stuff.
When I came across Kevin Spragget's blog http://kevinspraggett.blogspot.com/ It quickly became one of my favorite stops.
So yesterday I e-mailed him a photo I thought he might enjoy, and he responded with a nice note of thanks. Getting this note from GM Spragett for a chess fan like me is like some old Philadelphia native ice hockey fan getting a note from Bobby Clark.
Kevin Spragett, You are a GM and a gentleman. Come through Toledo and I'll buy you dinner.
