Subject: IDEA FOR TEAM PAGES

Message:
I THINK IT WOULD BE NEAT TO SEE THE COUNTRY FLAGS BESIDE EACH PLAYER ON THE TEAM PAGE. I KNOW THIS IS JUST A LITTLE EXTRA AND ISNT ALL THAT IMPORTANT BUT I THINK ITS A NEAT IDEA AND WOULD REALLY SHOW THE DIVERSITY OF THE TEAMS.

Skilled at the Chessboard, Keyboard and Blackboard -- Chess produces prodigies. So do mathematics and music. And while the relationship between chess and mathematics is clear, and many accomplished mathematicians are also skilled musicians, it is unusual to find a prodigy in all three areas. Noam Elkies, who turned 44 on Wednesday, is that rare triple threat. A Manhattan native, he graduated from Stuyvesant High School by age 15, and at the top of his class at Columbia University three years later. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard at 20.

Mathematicians, Musicians and Chess Masters -- Sunday’s chess column was about Noam Elkies, a Harvard mathematics professor who is also a music composer and chess player. Though Elkies is unusual at being talented in all three areas, he is not entirely unique. Through the years, there have been a number of strong chess players who were excellent mathematicians or musicians. A Web page called “Mathematics and Chess Page,” lists many strong chess players who were also mathematicians, including Adolf Anderssen, one of the best players of the 19th century; Emanuel Lasker, the second world champion; Max Euwe, the fifth world champion; and, among the more recent examples, John Nunn, an English chess grandmaster, who ...
