Friend of Dan Meehan's visits Bobby Fischer's grave in Iceland

The following pictures were given to Ron Lohrman by local chess player Dan Meehan. Dan's friend visited Iceland this past summer. Dan's friend was not a chess player, but was nice enough to go out of his way to take some pictures of Bobby Fischer's grave. Dan had sent his friend a logo of the chess center, which appears in one of the photos.

Around the flowers, there is volcanic rock for people to take, probably so that visitors and tourists do not deface the grave and can take something home with them to remember.

Volcanic rocks at grave site.

RCC Saturday Youth and Adult tournament results for August 17, 2013

Saturday Afternoon Adult Tournament

3rd Round: The Chicken?? (rating unknown!!) plays against Matthew Wang (1420).

3rd Round: The chicken surprises Matthew Wang with his first move. Apparently the chicken knows how to play chess! Later, the chicken was unmasked and found to be "Jason The Entertainer" (1524) aka Jason Young.

By the way, Jason can be reached at jason@jasontheentertainer.com for Chicken or Gorilla singing telegrams, magic shows for kids, juggling, etc. 1-800-Juggler (584-4537). Jason was a good sport to wear the chicken head at the beginning of round 3.

In the Youth Tournament there were 5 players:
1st - Aidan Kharroubi with a perfect score of 3 points.
Arianna Kharroubi and Joshua Iosevich scored 1 point each.
