Friday's "Chess @ the Mall"

Friday was a busy day for me, but all got taken of.
A morning chess class, then it was off to Weslaco
to train Bradley McCaleb. He's a new "candidate
top board", who  will compete in Nashville, TN at
the High School National. After his lesson, I drove
to the Mall for the weekly "Chess @ the Mall".
Matthew A. Cohen was there with his mom having
some Chick-fil-A. He quickly started to help set up
the boards and we started to play a couple of games.
Then came the powerful chess team  "Torre Fuerte".
Eliud Ramirez, Ramiro Barron, Luis Matus, Rafrel
and Jorge all ready for some chess matches.
Some of my chess students came in as well:
Guadalupe Lopez, Melissa Medina, Jonathan &
Osvaldo Cortez, Carlos Lerma, and all started to play.
Also present was Little powerhouse Jesse Guillen,
Oziel Juarez, Louie, and Dr. Dina Wahab who saw us
playing and decided to stay for a game. She just moved
from New York and will join us as her schedule allows it.
Two other college guys came in and started to play some chess.
