Last weekend's Contra Costa Times (link corrected 1:45pm) published an article featuring World U18 co-Champion IM Sam Shankland. Trying to compare chess to other sports, the reporter surmised that Sam "may not be able to outswim Olympic medalist Michael Phelps, but he could outmaneuver him — or almost anyone — in a game of chess." Having been outmaneuvered more than once, I would tend to agree with this assessment. Check out the story for interesting quotes by Sam, his father, Dr. Vladimir Naroditsky and even one comment from me.

Post a Comment
I have allowed public comments again, but I must approve a comment before it appears. My decision is final. Here are a few requirements:
1. Keep your comments on chess.
2. Please make constructive remarks, both if you agree or disagree.
3. Avoid insults, name-calling, accusations, profanity and adult language.
I would prefer that you sign your name, but this is not a requirement. That said, I am more likely to reject a negative comment from an anonymous poster.
