Local Teen Plays Part In Historic S.C. Chess Match

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Perhaps, it was the magic touch of the ceremonial first move in Game 1 by Tori Whatley of North Augusta, that helped propel chess Grandmaster Gregory Kaidanov to victory in Round 1 against the most powerful female chess player in history, Hungarian Grandmaster Judit Polgar, as the two squared off in a Sicilian-theme match on Hilton Head Island the week of February 22nd.

 The match, hosted by Jeff Smith, a business consultant, and ardent supporter of chess, was held in the presidential suite at the Hilton Head Marriott Spa and Resort with only seven guests invited to physically view the games as they took place.  

Thousands, worldwide, followed the tournament as it was broadcast live on the internet.

If Katie Couric Did This on National TV … So Can I

My friends are mortified. 

“Jane, you are not going to write about this in the paper, are you?”  

“Yes I am. I just can’t help it.” I said.  “Everyone, demo-graphically speaking, has had one and they tell you about it.  Just say the word and they will share their experience.”

What is the word? It’s the dreaded colonoscopy.

I plunged/drank myself into the experience we should all heed if one cares about maintaining good health.

God bless Tommy Stone when he handed me the massive plastic jug with four flavored packets.  The first thing I thought of was how nice to have this plastic jug for watering my plants. Then I asked the question, “Tommy which flavor is the best?”  Tommy wisely answered, “The flavor you kinda like. Don’t use the flavor you really like since after drinking the four liter jug you will hate the sight, smell and taste of that flavor forever.” I thought how great if the “flavor people” could come up with a flavor called, Chocolate Delight or Little Debbie Nutter Butter.
