Probably the more poster boys and girls there are on both sides of the Atlantic the more popular chess will become. So no harm in issuing that title to hopefuls ;).
Aww, I know Abby Marshall!! Back in 8th grade (im now in 11th) she got switched into my middle shcool and into my algebra class and helped me out A LOT in there. She now goes to my highschool (Warwick Highschool) I didnt even find out untill recently that she had made it so big for chess >.<
I just played Abby in a simul at Virgina Tech over the weekend and, even though I got my butt kicked, I was overly impressed by, not only her chess prowess, but especially that she is such a charming person. I believe my 9 yr. old daughter was inspired by her as well. Phil Shisbey

It seems like Abby Marshall is making strong moves to become the poster girl of American chess!
ReplyDeleteAnd naturally Sam is the poster boy?
