Throwback Thursday: 1961 Chess Review Letter to the Editor by 17-Year-Old Jude Acers


SOMEONE IS HIGHHATTING

As a member of the restless, sure-to-be-served, younger generation of future chess masters, I see little in chess vignettes, various chess cartoons, etc., that are published in your extremely fine periodical. However, it is my pleasure to announce that CHESS REVIEW has produced a humorous vein in this person through its cover for February.

 

My, oh, my! Rarely have I seen such a piece of headwear, such an exquisite, glowing example of the modem hat which rests so squarely, solidly upon Saidy’s head!
