MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!

I have never read a more passionate and touching article than this of one Tom Murphy a street chess hustler in Washington D.C. The days and knights of tom Murphy by Scott wells appeared in the Washington post and has received such wild acclaim for the personal touch.


Tom Murphy of 'Dupont chess university', seated gives a talk.

With no bank account, mobile phone, or home you would expect tom Murphy to be unhappy. But his joy is chess. An encyclopedia of chess as one student described him, his story is a must read.
