Wow man, the kid is a whiz!! Greeting to his daddy, a great enthusiast and promoter!!!
What’s the hat for?
Great job, Ray!
robson is the third us american who has a chance at the world title after mophy and fischer
Reshevsky was a legitimate contender. The Soviet conspiracy hindered him.
Nakamura was off winning San Sebastian. I believe he is under 21 and eligable for this tournament.
‘robson is the third us american who has a chance at the world title after mophy and fischer’
Muahahaha.
“What’s the hat for?”
It’s for him to get used to wearing Texas Tech colors.
Red and Black looks great on Ray!
