Dear Suzan Miyes:


Our obvious though neglected very first order of business is to welcome you with open arms, along with your grandson Simon (Maestropain)

and Dani16 (perhaps his girlfriend, though still shrouded with a cloak of tantalizing mystery) as members of the Red Hot Pawn Community.

Second, speaking as a grandfather to a grandmother, may I offer a candid word of encouragement. There are many fine people, engaging

conversationalists and accomplished chess players active on this first class/fantastic site. Please refrain from allowing the slings and arrows

of the few immature camp follower spectators or the jaundiced cynical herd, itself, to phase you in the least much less get your dauber down.

Third, believe you'll agree that an open and objective face to face air cleaning is most always useful. Upon that premise, I wish to publicly

affirm my personal message responses to chess game invitations from both yourself, Suzan, and your grandson. Although games with any

provisional/unrated strangers hold little interest, I'd be delighted to consider games with both of you, as soon as you both have completed

a few dozen rated games. Fourth, your credentials are impressive. I'll look forward to your mentoring. Need to flex my rigid positional style.




Kind regards,


Boston Lad (aka, gb)

Let me go ahead and put myself out there as well. No, I am not as good as Grampy Bobby or Tony or Phlab, or many others, but I wold be willing to help you both get yourselves out of the provisional rating status by allowing you both to challenge me at your convenience. It would do my heart good to know I have been bested by the best. My current rating is severely under what I am capable of becoming. So please, Enlighten me with your skills and knowledge so that I may broaden my horizons and expand my knowledge in the game.

Just an added note, Beating me will help in showing these that don't believe that you are truly masters of the game.

Well, hello and wecome to RHP. Your grandson says and your profile quote confirms that you beat GM/World Champions Boris Spassky and Bobby Fisher. Your grandson says it was in 1972. Do you have more specifics (game score, date, place)? Thanks in advance.

Suzan, quite remarkable that within a matter of days your name has become a household word on the RHP General Forum. Believe it's now

in your best interest to position horizontally by developing friendships with many other interesting members and excellent chess players who

are also active public forum posters. Seems imprudent and foolish to put all your effort into cultivating a relationship with a single member.

One massive chest pain and and you will be back to square one. So for your benefit, I suggest we relocate our conversation from a private

(personal message) to a public (forum) venue. In reply to your last message, my challenge settings include 1600 rating minimum, which

I'm sure you will soar past within your first two dozen rated games. As to your question about my chess background, a kind Swedish Uncle

taught me the game at age nine. Privileged to be mentored by E.M. Reubens, Ben Landey, Kermit Pransky, Edmund Brown, Tigran Shaack

during the incredible whirlwind decade of my twenties. We played twice weekly. Literally lost 900-1,000 games before beginning to be able

to hold my own. Corporate career related geographic moves and demands of raising a family displaced chess as a priority for the next three

decades. Became a widower in 2003 and joined RHP in 2007. Please google... Boylston Chess Club/Reubens, then click weblog U2200 BCC

Championship (at the top of the page). Think you'll enjoy the biographical articles by Bernardo Iglesias on E.M. Reubens and Ben Landey.

When does simon's dog get an account? I bet he plays a mean game of chess ... if you don't mind some teeth marks in the pieces.
