Wow. THE Susan Polgar? Hi Susan. I missed your trip to Oahu last year. The MCC is alive and kicking.

pawn sensei, I think the event I attended at the Hawaiian Hilton Village drew more than 30,000 total people over a few days. I met Randy Prothero (president of the state chess federation) and visited some local chess clubs.

The most exciting part was I attended a session at the House of Representatives. They stopped the session, recognized me, then took a short recess so the politicians can official greeted me one by one. Everyone was SO NICE!

Your island is simply breath taking and the hospitality was incredible!

Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

This is too cool. I am a huge fan and I'm almost giddy that you're here.

I hope that this does some part, as well, to bring more attention to the American chess world, as it is in dire need of it.

Pawn Sensei said...

Great to hear you enjoyed your time Susan. Thanks for your article on ChessCafe. Please feel free to stop by anytime, we love having you!

BTW, has there ever been a Grandmaster out of Hawaii? I've never heard of one but we have this kid Robert Lau that has a pretty good chance. You probably played him in your simul.

SusanPolgar said...

Yes, I know Robert. He is a talented young player. I hope he will stay with chess. Emily Lau represented Hawaii in the first annual Susan Polgar National Invitational for Girls last year. Nice family! Please say hi to them!

Best wishes,
