They no longer spend time on chess, but occupy their spare time with their grand-children. Also this months issue of Selective Search begins a series of games with the Novag Star Diamond against Mephisto Milano Pro: score currently at 2-0. If it makes the grade it will be up against the Mephisto Atlanta next! Trevs
