SAN FRANCISCO,CALIFORNIA  ..The fabulous 150  year  old MECHANICS INSTITUTE CHESS CLUB,  fourth floor…. 57 POST STREET,  SAN FRANCISCO ,CA.94104… is getting into the  primo summer chess camp promotion big time. Chess grandmaster/all American good guy N. DEFIRMIAN, “MR. MODERN CHESS OPENINGS”  himself, will again lead chessplayers from hundreds of miles around in a three tier chess camp program … Indeed, something for every one … from child/beginner  with a nifty Defirmian master chess camp to boot … all details at the  WEBSITE of the Mechanics Institute chess  club …  In 1968, truly a lost soul, I all but lived in that place when not crashing on the Haight Street front room floor of legendary, feisty chess theory expert-game historian “Motorcycle Max” Burkett … By the way….they have a chess library indeed.
