Friday Pictures from US Chess School


Most of the day is serious endgame study, but there are blitz breaks every couple of hours. Unfortunately, there are only two sets. What do the kids do?
They play blindfold. Above: Luke Harmon and David Adelberg.



Luke keeps his eyes closed in the opening.
Alex Ostrovskiy and Kevin Wang also try.

They get in an argument about the position.

I'm flattered you ask, but posting revealing photos of myself on the internet is not really my style.

Instead, how about some more silly pictures of Greg?

Silly pictures of Greg would be cool. People see The Commissioner the way they see the President: they revere him, of course, but this being an egalitarian society they also like to think he's an approachable, regular guy, not some icon up on a pedestal.

Awhile back you had a shot of him in the pet food aisle of a supermarket. (Greg, that is, not the president) At the time I meant to ask him would he mind picking up a few cans of Fancy Feast for me while he was there, but I waited too long to post it.

I assume it's too late now. I mean he's not there anymore, right?
