Latshaw vs Horak, 1937

Its been awhile since my last post to this blog. My vernerable old XP computer finally got replaced. After losing its CD drive last November, its clearly been on its last legs. I managed to get an extra year or two out of it by replacing a power supply, the hard drive controller, and other bits, but it was definitely getting dangerous to use that fellow.

The problem with the replacement is... Vista. My day-job at Sandia will soon involve Vista; teaching at the CSF requires Office 2007 and any day now they'll be using Vista. And Vista didn't like my old Visioneer scanner. Now, a couple week's later, I've got an HP Deskjet F4280 printer/scanner and I'm set to go.

Here's Henry's game with a gentleman named Latchaw. On the last page of this series, an original Grin and Bear It from 1937. Ya gotta love chess humor. :-)
