Paul’s History With Chess
Chess is a very special game to me. It was the game that my father and I played every day until his unfortunate and untimely death in 1997. That and Star Trek were two of the most favourite things we did together. The Rules and Strategy of Chess was one of the first books I ever published. As a teenager, I was the chess king of Long Island and that was something special to my father. He was a highly ranked chess player and an excellent teacher.
I gave up playing chess 24 years ago. Chess was a family game to me. It wasn’t about competitions or winning — it was about love and friendly competition. And while it’s a hard thing for me to do, I want to bring my Sand & Steel family into that same space where so many important memories still live. And yes, they are sad memories, because I still miss my father to this day. But I know he would have wanted me to share this knowledge with my Sand & Steel Family. It’s time I paid that forward and shared what he taught me. So thank you all for coming. @paul_sscf
