In the Daily Harold old friend, former Board member, APCT head honcho, and super Master chess supporter Helen Warren still manages to make the papers!

A nice human interest article with a chess angle - many times non-player writers get swept up in the game and make the players one-dimensional. Other than ascribing the Ruy Lopez to ‘a move’ (I suppose you could say Bb5 is ‘the move’ but that’s a bit superficial), the author does a decent job of staying away from obvious non-player writer ‘blunders.’

Nice to see that Helen is still with us - she sounds as sharp as ever. A true giant of the game in the Midwest!

I don’t know if it was edited since you looked at it but I see

as referring to openings, not individual moves.

I was referring to the sentence that concludes “to Lopez, the 16th Century Spanish priest whose opening move still carries his name.”

Helen Warren is sharp as a tack, still. And still promoting chess, one person at a time.
