Intriguing look at the life and times of Walter Tevis:

The Man Who Brought ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ to Life

Walter Tevis, the author of the book upon which the Netflix hit is based, spent his life gambling and drinking in pool halls before turning to chess. But once you know his story, it’s stunning that the book ever came out at all.

Hi Mark …

While the virus has whacked my little company — I had to close all three offices in NYC, SF, and Hong Kong — I did get married. So I’m no longer living in sin.

That’s something, right? Right?

Sunny

PS Hope you and yours are doing well.
