re: #156 🌹UOJB!
Love chess. I have a set and board that were given to me by my friend the late Grandmaster Eduard Gufeld. He was a respected Soviet chess teacher/coach who moved to West Hollywood in the 90s. He’s buried in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. A memorial to him is at the northeast corner of Santa Monica & Fairfax in Los Angeles.
I’m also very fond of chess, but sadly my diligence and talent weren’t really enough to become good at it.
