Walking distance from the Sheraton is preferable. Thanks in advance.

Beware, the FSU boys hate outsiders.

GRANNY.

I just wanted to wish you good luck in your chess tournament this weekend!

Perhaps you can share some of your games with us.

Good luck, and beware of RHP terrorists.

I question the wisdom of you, of all people, letting the RHP population know where you are this weekend. Hope you're packing your 9.

Especially being that I live in Philly

I wanted to play that tourney as well, but I can't get the time off.

So answer the questions.

Thanks for your assistance.

Was it really, really, really necessary to mention the reason for your trip to Philly?

Sorry, I didn't realize what a ghastly faux pas it was to mention that you were playing in a chess tournament on an INTERNET CHESS SITE. I thought knowing the location might help with the inquiry - ya know, walking distance and all.

I apologize to all that were offended by my thoughtless mention of an actual chess tournament here.

Internet research has provided me with a few good leads though it would have been nice to hear from a local.

Why posting twice?

Your fans may get confused.

Thanks. They're about 4 miles from the Sheraton though.

Nice to have friends, isn't it No1?

I'm sure you've already looked at the hotel's web site but just in case...

Restaurants are listed in order of distance from the hotel.

You act like you're the smartest person here, so keep doing that and you should be fine in this city of brotherly love where nobody would hurt a fly 😛
