Rich Dailey on his blog "Out of the Ether" has put together an interesting post, Rediscovering Chess - Part 1.
It reminds me of our "chess in the attic" series, but is woven around an intimate personal odyssey. If you were an 11 year old when Fischer met Spassky then I'm sure Rich's story will ring some bells.
Does anyone else remember Ed's Chess on the Tandy 1000? I'm trying to remember if there was a cartridge for my TI99/4A.
