Chess legends camping at USM
By JUSTIN HOOKS
SUN HERALD
LONG BEACH - Three chess legends are coming to the Gulf Park campus of the University of Southern Mississippi July 6-8.
National Master Bruce Pandolfini, one of the inspirations for the book and movie Searching for Bobby Fischer, will offer individual and group instruction for students of all ages and skill levels.
He will also demonstrate his own talents during the three-day camp by playing 30 people simultaneously. Spots are still available for the exposition, and Pandolfini will autograph the boards afterwards.
“He’s very quiet, but super intellectual,” camp coordinator Nancilee Bodine said. “He’s respectful of other people and takes their questions very seriously.”
