I didn't see you at Harvard this summer?

We now play inside "Au bon pain"(spelling?)
Sold and renamed Panera Bread, I think. German pub right in Harvard Square diagonally across from the Harvard Coop is one of my favorites.

Na it's "Au bon pain"

I play there.

Is there any chance I already know you?

To give a hint....I had a broken arm all Fall and I was in a splint?

Or you don't play there?

Thanks for the follow up. Believe the new name shows up in some of the suburbs outside #128 and 495. Born and raised in MA, graduated

from Northeastern University but have been gone since 1980 (IL, TX, CO, CA, TN Valley). Dozen family members including Mom still there.

Sorry about your arm. How did you break it? Wondering if you ever get over to The Boylston Street Chess Club across from the Commons.

Broke it ArmWrestling(Don't worry...I'm training my Left to beat the guy who broke my right)

The BCC ain't been near the commons in so long.

Now it's at Davis Square on Elm street.

You've been away for some time haven't you?

Forget the location of Davis Square. Whereabouts is it? Only back for visits and weeks on Cape Cod since 1980. Thanks for the update.

It's going good. A GM or two once in a while.
FIDE master and a lot of experts.

Some smelly people though....😕

Not a lot of my rating....so usually I get smashed.

Getting smashed by accomplished players is the way to go. Literally lost 900-1,000 games in 3-4 wonderful years in Boston and Sharon.

"humouring me"... please translate.

You don't know what that means?

Humouring someone is like talking to someone but you don't care what they have to say.

Kinda like when a mans wife listens to what he has to say but she don't care.

Humouring him....

I do it to my wife all the time when she talks about her work.

Chessiswar, please Google 'Emil Reubens/chess player'


Then click on the very top of the page... 'BCC Weblog: Reubens Landey U2200 BCC Championship'


Please read the two articles.


E.M. Reubens, Ben Landey, Kermit Pransky, Edmund Brown and Tigran Schaak were the accomplished chess players I lost the 1,000 games to.


Maybe you're accustomed to humoring people when a genuine conversation is in progress. I'm being earnest with you tonight and I care.



Ever heard of Reubens and Landey at the club? Hope you enjoy the articles. By the way, played frequently with them at Walpole Prison.

You may have mis-understood me about the "Humouring me" thing...
I could try to explain it but i'm not that smart.
Maybe someone else will see it and explain it.

I read the article....

I hope the Walpole prison comment wasn't meant to scare me.

I know all about prisons.

Never had a problem when I was in them.
