Broken Pawn: My Main Function
http://brokenpawn1.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-main-function.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. I hung around the lobby until the breakfast room opened at seven and then headed over for the free continental breakfast. Slowly but surely the other players filtered in and out of the breakfast room. By eight I was back in the tournament room for the bulk of the next 12 hours. Posted by Hank Anzis.

Broken Pawn: September 2014
http://brokenpawn1.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Movie Review - A Walk Among The Tombstones. A promising commercial for a Liam Neeson action movie! Ever since I saw the iconic movie ‘ Taken. Earlier this year I went to see ‘ Non-Stop. 8217; The commercials looked promising – Neeson listens to a man telling him his wife got kidnapped and then listens to a tape of the man’s wife screaming. Thinking there could be nothing more Taken-like, Kathy and I made plans to see it when it opened this past weekend. Even though there wa...

Aside from being a chess grandmaster, Mauricio is a graduate student in Math at the University of Minnesota and the author of the chess book “ Chess Structures – A Grandmaster Guide. It was great hanging out with him and other masters like Tim, Dane Mattson, and Okey Iwu along with all the rest of the Okoboji crowd for th...

Broken Pawn: The Missing Column
http://brokenpawn1.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-missing-column.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. I wrote a chess blogging column for The Chess Journalists of America’s magazine ‘The Chess Journalist’ (you can see the archived issues here. Boots on the Ground. No sooner had I made my affinity for boxing as a metaphor for chess known in this column two issues ago I was made aware of another frequent metaphor for chess: the military. While tournaments, playing sites, and games can tend to be indistinguishable over time the amusing clerk at the convenience store, repairing a flat t...

Broken Pawn: The Bill Came Due
http://brokenpawn1.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-bill-came-due.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. The Bill Came Due. One of my favorite sports commentators lost his job this week when ESPN President John Skinner announced that the network would not be renewing the contract of Bill Simmons. On Monday, the NFL came down hard and heavy on the New England Patriots. What does this have to do with Simmons? Running through 2021 for the privilege of broadcasting 17 football games each season which works out to over 100 MILLION DOLLARS per game and then daring your employers to suspend...

Broken Pawn: February 2015
http://brokenpawn1.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. NBC Evening News anchor Brian Williams was recently suspended for six months when he either at most told tales of being in an Army helicopter in Iraq that was hit in by a RPG (rocket propelled grenade) and forced down in the desert or at least didn’t correct anyone that made the assumption. As I read the CNN timeline. While locked in a Senate race. Even this paled to 2010 Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal repeatedly claiming he served in Vietnam. For entertainment purposes on...
