Thanks for the local history lesson. I mainly remember the friendship/rivalry you had with Pruess back in the mid 1990s. I did meet Shankland at the Club you and David ran for a while on Virginia Street in the basement. As I recall, he presented a game of David P...a Najdorf, IIRC. But I missed Sevian and Niemann entirely, having "Retired" from chess in January 1998. Wish I hadn't stopped, but hindsight, ya know.
