Was this guy there?
Yeah, that dude was on the last chess moves cruise.
I like the courses a lot. They’re excellent!
I would have been on the last one but I just can’t swing that kind of dough right now..
Susan I would love to be on an Alaskan cruise and relax seeing all that beautiful scenery, the whales, bears, eagles, and learn all that great chess! Especially Bobby’s baby, The Kings Indian defence! I also would love to see your Classic games lecture Susan. Alas I would be travelling alone and the cost of a room is too expensive for me right now. Heck Id sleep on the deck lol rather than pay 3000 dollars for a room to sleep about 6 hours.
