Chess Club Delivers Major League, All-Pro Sports Opening for St. Louis
Sat., 5/9/2009 - 12:37 pm — Larry StendebachBy Travis H. Brown
They called him one of the best closers of all time in St. Louis Cardinals history. But today, his opening game was hard enough – on the chess board.
Over his major league baseball career as a hard-throwing reliever, Todd Worrell has pitched over 256 saves. Today, celebrating the opening of the U.S. Chess Championship, Worrell came out of the bull-pen with his aggressive, high-speed burners. However, this time it was a bishop screaming off the mound.
Mother’s Day at the Chess Club
Dr. Jeanne Sinquefield celebrated Mother’s Day last weekend at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, the host of the 2009 U.S. Chess Championship. She is pictured with Rex and their eldest son, Randy Sinquefield. Randy is currently filming a documentary about the Championship, scheduled to be released early this summer.
