Perry the PawnPusher
by Rick Kennedy
|
Rick Kennedy, who bears a striking resemblance
to Perry the PawnPusher, has been playing chess almost 50 years. You'd think
he'd have gotten better at it, by now!
Rick's fiction has appeared in different places, such as:
Chess 'n' stuff, Chess Atlas, Chess Life, and School Mates. He has
chronicled the misadventures of Perry the PawnPusher, revealed a half-dozen
chess-based adventures involving
Sherlock Homes, and even reported on the chessic hi-jinks of his daughter, Mary Elizabeth, and his sons, Jonathan
& Matt,
The Kennedy Kids.

In a more serious vein, he has written, along with Riley
Sheffield, The Marshall Gambit in the French and Sicilian Defenses.
His theoretical articles and historical researches have appeared in the
Unorthodox Chess Openings Newsletter. He is editor and publisher of "The
Silent Knight," the monthly newsletter for the United States Chess
Association of the Deaf (and an excellent article about America's best deaf
chess player - Russell
Chauvenet).
In a less serious vein, he is deeply researching the Jerome
Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+), some results of
which can be seen at the
Chess History Center. Rick is always looking for Jerome Gambit games and analyses! You can
read about Jon's adventures with the Jerome Gambit,
Birthdays With My Friend, Jerome.
In real life, Rick (a social worker counseling children)
lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife of 27 years, Libby (a school
psychologist), and teenage son, Jon. Matt, their oldest - who wrote a story
for School Mates, got it published, got paid, and then got extra credit in
English class for it - graduated from college in '03 and works for AmeriCorps. Mary, their daughter, is studying creative writing in college.
Enjoy Rick's stories!
