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.
