"Chess is a form of intellectual productiveness, therein lies it's peculiar charm. Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy."
-Siegbert Tarrasch
Let me know about the tournament that made your day.
Mine would have to be the 2005 North American Open.

My favorite tournament story has to be from way back in the early 1980s, when I had to beat a little old lady, Hilda Adrian, on Mother's Day to win a $20 Under-1600 prize at the old Boylston Chess Club in downtown Boston. I remember it was a Caro-Kann Panov-Botvinnik attack where I kept up the pressure as white all the way through. People gave me crap for beating a little old lady, but I guess that's tough. Want me to try to find the game? ;-)
Ray, Chess is a competitive game played by people of wide diversity in age. Hope you displayed good sportsmanship since that's what counts. I'd love to see the game if you could find it.
