A draw is neither a win nor a loss and Robert Stuart should enjoy long-time
bragging rights for drawing against a chess master! Acers won all 14 games
on the other boards. After the last game ended, Acers posed for photos and
autographed copies of his latest chess book, The Italian Gambit System.
And then off zoomed Master Jude Acers, red beret a blur and wheels screeching
'round another corner on his nationwide "Four Corners Tour" to conduct similar
events in San Francisco, San Leandro, and Los Angeles.
Crossroads Shopping Center, Seattle / Bellevue Washington, June 20th 2004
Chelan Washington, Chess Day - June 18th 2004
DAKOTA DIXON, Washington State Chess Federation's Champion for Grades 4-6, is intensely listening to Jude Acers as he speaks. His brother, BLAKE DIXON, is captivated by The Man in the Red Beret! Riverwalk Books in Chelan, Washington, hosted the book signing of The Italian Gambit.
It was great to have Jude Acers in Okemos, Michigan on June 9, 04 for the Michigan leg of his All America Chess Tour and to take part in his presentation to promote his new book the Italian Gambit System. Travelers Club Restaurant was the place, the restaurant right next to our store - they have been inspired to have a "Games Night" to teach chess and to explore other historical board games. My bookstore, the Triple Goddess Bookstore was the sponsor (the only New Age store with a chess section). Leading members of Lansing and East Lansing chess were there: David Sundeen, Russell Rogers, Bruce Roth & John Hagan - it opened up a whole new group of friends and players I had never met. My wife and I are huge Jude Acers fans (four trips to New Orleans last year for "Food and Jude"!) Jude's presentation was electrifying giving us tips on how to improve our game, the importance of some simple disciplines in even the off-hand games you play. These are: Touch-Move, and Write. Never Surrender. Study the best master games. He then took us on a tour thru an amazing game, Ed. Lasker- Torre, 1926, and told the story of how the Miami Variation of the Italian Gambit was invented by co-author and chess amateur George Laven. This book was originally totally written by hand, including the diagrams, and it's a great read. I am looking forward to his tour next year! Alan R. Coe, Triple Goddess Bookstore, Okemos, MI

Coddingtown
Mall and Santa Rosa Rec and Parks Department co-sponsored a 15-board simul
conducted by "The Man in the Red Beret," New Orleans King of Street Chess,
Master Jude Acers. For the last 25 years, Acers has taken on all
challengers at his Decatur Street Chess Tables near the Gazebo Cafe in New
Orleans' famous French Quarter Market. Acers has given over 1,000 such
exhibitions in 46 states and 4 foreign nations. At the peak of his
tournament career, Acers was #43 in the world, sporting a World Chess
Federation rating of 2554.
As
the simultaneous exhibition proceeded, Master Acers was seen to pause for
thought at one table a bit longer and more frequently than at the others.
When the dust finally settled on the whole affair, there was one wonderful
surprise in store for everyone. Student chessplayer Robert Stuart, age
14, from Occidental, California, claimed a draw when he discovered a triple
repetition of the board position. This is a legitimate chess rule.
Master and Challenger shook hands and then Acers signed Stuart's chess
scoresheet. Stuart was one of three students who annotated the moves
on the complimentary scoresheets provided by the simul organizers.
