As I said - watching someone at the top of their game was like watching your favourite rock star belting out an amazing guitar solo.<BR/><BR/>One interesting point that I didn't add in the original article was that there was a few older African-American men who were critical of the word "bitch" in Jen's book title.<BR/><BR/>I guess from their point of view, in their communities the words "bitch" and "ho" are so ridiculously overused and abused that they'd prefer to set a good example and not use it.<BR/><BR/>Particularly in a field such as chess which they see as a ways for young black kids to express themselves in a positive way.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - it was an interesting night.Phil Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890957710311465231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040347754668828807.post-78129990956417748712007-07-11T12:42:00.000-07:002007-07-11T12:42:00.000-07:00Great story.
