  1. I recently saw an ad for an insurance agency staring Maurice Ashley. I was pretty surprised but at the same time elated to see chess let alone the First Black GM on television.

  2. Yes, http://www.smugmug.com is excellent! Just remember to search
    Maurice Ashley’s name. Based on the pictures and in the spirit of
    the event, I hope that there was a good number of women and
    young women represented. This was difficult to determine from
    the pictures presented. In any case, it is great to see Maurice
    active. I hope to see him in another U.S. Championship in
    future!!!

    By the way, good representing ‘Black Knight’ (you and the kids
    that you encouraged to come to the event)!! Peace…

  3. Hello, and thanks to all, for the info on Maurice Ashley! I was also wondering if the Black Knight is from Washington,D.C ? If so hello from Nails of Baltimore !!!!!!!
