A chess tournament at a Manhattan cafe
The Qahwah Valley cafe in Manhattan hosts weekly chess problem-solving tournaments. The organizer is Vladimir Lionter, a Moscow resident and beginner chess instructor who has lived in the United States for several years. I had the opportunity to speak with the organizer of this unusual chess club, which brings together enthusiasts of the intellectual game of all ages and backgrounds.

American frosts
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who came despite the snow and frost, and some, due to transportation problems, walked to work.
