About This Site
- Tom Panelas
- Chicago, Illinois, United States
- This blog was originally about the Ray School Chess Club, and sometimes still is, but now it's about chess everywhere -- though mostly in Chicago -- and anything else that strikes my fancy. The blog's title, for readers who aren't familiar with Ray, refers to the school itself—-a 117-year-old fortress of a building, replete with turrets, on Chicago's South Kimbark Avenue.
