Nice News of the Day

The Boylston Chess Club reports that on Sunday, November 19, 2006, new GM Eugene Perelshteyn (pictured above) will hold a charity simultaneous exhibition in the Boston area to raise money for the Aleksander Wojtkiewicz Funeral Fund. Anyone achieving a draw will receive his or her choice of Openings for Black, Explained or Openings for White, Explained. If anyone is successful in defeating the GM in the simul, the lucky winners will receive signed copies of both books.

If you live anywhere near the club, this is a nice opportunity to do a good deed, play a grandmaster in person, and just maybe walk away with a prize or two.
