Hi Dan. I noticed on the ME Chessplayer of the Year 2015 and 2016 I was listed as living in "Gardiner", but that is incorrect. I have lived in Augusta continuously since 2012. Could you please update? Thank you.

Congratulations to Barry Magda, who played some solid chess this year. If you want to challenge Barry to a blitz game, he holds court weekly at Barnes & Noble in Augusta each Tuesday evening.

I want to relearn chess as I have forgotten much. I used to play about 15 years ago. I moved to Maine 10 years ago from NYC and need a place that I can come to and play and begin all over. Thanks for any help you may send me.
