All 3 Kenilworth entries were knocked-out of Garden State Chess League contention this week.

First, the Kortchnois were eliminated by a forfeit loss to West Orange. Then, last night, the Kramniks were dispatched by Hamilton 2.5-1.5 and the Karpovs (who had beaten Sparta 3-1) were done-in by tiebreaks.

The season, at least for the KCC teams, wraps-up on April 1st with the Kramniks playing the Karpovs & the Kortchnois trying to be spoilers against Hamilton.

Here’s another puzzle from our early-pictures scrapbook: who is the child in this photo? He was a boy prodigy, who at the sensational age of nineteen became the youngest grandmaster in the world. He has beaten twelve world champions. He lives in Europe and unlike his compatriots speaks flawless English. In our report we provide you with a few more or less helpful clues.
