The annual Chess in the Parks tournament was today at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. Below are some of my favorite pictures of my students. More are at http://www.318chessteam.blogspot.com/.
Rebecca
Rochelle, 1750. She was up a pawn against Kasparov in his simul last week. He reportedly had to spend 40 minutes at her board (I couldn't stay to watch; I had to take the other kids home by then) and later called it his toughest game.
