including "Inside
Chess," and "Chess
Life".)

me taken around Easter, 2008. | (right) A surreal
picture that I took with my cell phone.
(I am not as near as old as this
particular picture makes me look! I am going bald, this is why I usually wear a
hat!!!) ||| Its noteworthy only because of the poor - almost baroque
- quality.
August 12th, 2006.
I won the 2006 "Gulf Coast Quick Chess
Championship." (This event was played in Mobile, AL) I only gave up one draw - to Joe Jurjevich,
(and won all my other games); here is my trophy. (This
event was NOT USCF rated. Naturally, I would have preferred that it was rated,
especially now that I won! Hee, hee, hee.) But it
was fun to play in a tournament again, I have been fairly inactive the last few
years. (Not by choice!)
A professionally made photo of me.

A picture of me at a chess tournament.
(Thanks to Mr.
Harvey Lerman & "floridaChess"
for this picture.)
On
this page, I will try to get as many photographs as possible.
Pics, not just of me, but players through-out the South.
Here is a page I borrowed from the PCC's web site.
(The quotes are as exactly appeared on the PCC web-page.
My comments, outside the
quotes, are underneath.)
"The Pensacola Quarterly Tournament"
(Spring
Quarterly, May 5th thru the 7th. Year = 2000?)
|
"A.J. Goldsby I, the tournament winner, plays Rick Frye to a draw in the last round."
Rick played the dreaded Trompowski's Attack. I was fortunate to
draw!!
(I am the guy [The Good-Looking one!!], in the black baseball
cap, in the background of the above photograph.) |
"Steve Muhammed makes an appearance by traveling from
Atlanta, GA; to take part in the tournament, adding to the excitement of the tournament
outcome."
(You can barely see Steve ... He's on the right. Mark Liatti
is on the left. The quality of the photograph is a little low. Steve is one of the South's
most formidable home-grown players. Steve defeated GM A. Goldin at the World Open in
1999.) Rick Frye and I are playing in the background.
|
"The youngest tournament player on
the left, begins the
last round ...
a little late."
(Paul Woody on the left, plays David Yarbor on
the right.
Both are my students!!!)
The game ended in a draw.
(I can't identify the two gentleman in the
background of the
photograph.) |
"Jason, on the left, was the scholastic
winner in the competition."
(I don't know who the arm [of Jason's opponent] belongs to!)
Jason Parker is an extremely talented young player. He is a
member of the Pensacola Chess Club, and his future looks bright in chess. |
"Bart makes a move against Mike.
Look out for a phalanx of tactics!"
Bart
Heikimian is one of the club's stalwart players. He also
speaks fluent French!!
Mike Thornton was the club Secretary and the one of the
leading persons in his own successful CPA firm. Visit his company's web site at
http://www.gofso.com/btpcpas/. |
My friend Mike Thornton, sent me this
cartoon in an e-mail and
called it, "A.J. works out a chess problem in the bathroom..." |
"Results to be posted
..."
I won the event with 4.5
out of 5. I defeated three very strong players, including
Moshe Khatena and Stephen Muhammed. Jason Parker scoring a perfect 5-0,
torched his section.
(I will post a complete tournament
report later.) |
(Thanks to the Pensacola Chess Club for this page and
these photo's. Visit this site by clicking here.)
Later on this page, I
will have more photo's and lots more stories about
the tournaments I play in, and other
local tournaments also.
Here is a nice photo of me playing in a tournament in
Tallahassee.
(I
am the person on the right. I am deep in thought, pondering my move. I won this
tournament with a 4-0 score. The name of the tournament was the "Old Master's
Open," and it was played in Jan. 2000.)
[Thanks
to Leo Cabana and the FSU web-site
for this photo.]
The picture below shows Vladmir Kramnik, (2770); on the left;
and
Garry Kasparov, (2849); on the right. The picture was taken just before
game # 4.
(From the "Brain Games" Chess World Championship.)
Game 9
Drawn.
(Thanks to the L.C.C. and "Sports <dot> com," for this
photo.)
Kasparov and Kramnik before the 15th game. Nov. 2nd, 2000.
Not
my photo, but a really fine one of the city at night ... and a beautiful
one to gaze at. |
(A
truly beautiful sunset.)
