Can’t wear a certificate around your neck. Come on!
Certificates are for mom and dad’s who did good at work.
Medals are for all young chess champions!
A little child once said to me,”
This will be the first time and last time you award me a chess certificate in your life, Ja?!”
The kid’s name was little Billy Kortchnoi or something like that.
