Marshall Chess Club Centenary Celebrations

Post by Allan Hodgkinson » Fri Aug 28, 2015 8:18 pm

Just received this from Marshall NY via email re one of their centenary events:

September 8 a lecture by Roberto Mayor (President of the Capablanca Chess Club) and Miguel A. Sanchez (author of a book on Jose Raul Capablanca) will precede a match between players from London and Cuba against Marshall Members.

Anyone know who the London players are?
