Illinois Chess Association Banquet Honoring Andrew Karkins
Please join us (this means you!) on Sunday, November 6th, from 1 to 4 p.m., at Buca di Beppo in Lombard. Andrew Karklins will be receiving the Natalie Broughton Lifetime Achievement Award. Preregistration is required: more info and online ticket link here.
The meal at last year's banquet was excellent: generous helpings (similar to Maggiano's), but more affordable. I am on a diet, so there will be much more for others to eat.
The meeting will be preceded by the Illinois Chess Association's annual meeting (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.), open to all ICA members and pretty much anyone not carrying a Molotov cocktail.

Natalie Broughton?
Illinois Chess Association Treasurer Carl Dolson is the managing trustee of the ICA's Broughton Fund, which periodically awards the Natalie Broughton Life Achievement Award. Carl's been asked to write a short biography of Natalie for the ICA website, and was stumped. He writes:
The only thing I can find on the internet is from a Time Magazine article from 1972 on “Why They Play: The Psychology of Chess” in which Natalie Brougton, “a Chicago suburban housewife” is quoted as saying “My favorite gambit against male opponents is Sitzfleish. If you sit long enough, staring and pondering, you don’t have to have a fast mind. The other person will become so annoyed and tired that he finally slips.” I thought you, or other Chicagoans you know, would be able to fill in some of the blanks on Ms. Broughton.I moved to Chicago in 1979, and I don't recall having met Mrs. Broughton. Readers?
I also found a notice of death from the June 7, 2002 Chicago Tribune for Natalie W. Broughton of Evanston, age 85, beloved wife of the late Donald B. Broughton, burial at Memorial Park Cemetery, Skokie. No obituary.
