I've seen and spoke to several Denver Broncos, Shanahan, Elway, Gradishar, Meklinberg, Watson and others, they used to have training camp at the college here, and they were in several bars at night lol. Shanahan was at the bar we used to hold chess club meetings at.
Chess players, I met Walter Browne, Pal Benko, Ken Smith. Reshevsky. I know a couple of grandmasters pretty well. Alex Fishbein, Suat Atalik.
I've played and hung out some with The Blinfold King, Timur Gareyev.

I almost met Kiri Te Kanawa, world famous opera singer from New Zealand. We passed in the street in Nottinghill Gate, London. That was big. 🙂

Imagine how famous you would be if you knocked him out for no reason but shyts and giggles 🤔


I shook hands with Mark Kozelek after he'd played a solo gig in front of 150 people in a pub in Perth in about 2003.

are you following me around your own profile divegeester?




I once sat next to John Conteh ( former light heavyweight champ) on a plane.
Nice guy.

Not sure that I'm a rock, and I've read that no man is an island, so you do the math. 😉
