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.
The interview was recorded by Marina Lagunova
