I might be the only member that was at the chess meets of every country you mentioned. Not that it matters 🙂

Well that is convenient you didn't need to go anywhere! 😉

Nice to have gotten to all of them on a more serious note!

Not all of them, just to every country that had one. Having the site creator in the country next door didn't hurt.

Right, so it wouldn't take a lot of money. Did you get along with everyone you met?

I think so. It was 14 years ago, and we were all quite drunk. I also had three players crash at my house. Handyandy was a pure gentleman, for the record...As was Stees.

I remember that at one time there were pictures posted here from all of the various meet-ups but they weren't combined onto one link. I don't know why the ones from Maine weren't consolidated with the ones from Ireland and England, but that never happened.

Weren't there two meet-ups held in Maine, at Philabit's home? I have seen those pictures as well but they have vanished.

There also used to be something here called "RHP faces", where numerous members posted pictures of themselves. That too has now vanished.

Yeah, i was at the second one. We spent the Friday night before playing guitar and drinking copious amounts of alcohol. I talked my wife into adding it to our holiday to New York...2010. I don't have any pictures for you though. Lost them a few PCs ago.

Yes, I recall the pictures you are talking about.

I was going to save them and by the time I got around to doing it, they were gone. I am talking about the ones at Phlab's BBQ.

Yes Phlabs said the same thing about Handyandy.

All I have now are the ones from England and Ireland. I didn't manage to save the ones from Maine and the RHP faces one. Too bad.
