Credits: Thanks to Jon Crumiller for the loan of the chess set from his collection that is pictured on the masthead. The background on the site is from the USCF conference room library in Crossville, TN. The photo on the upper right of this and many other pages was taken courtesy of Jeff Roland who loaned me his camera for the shot in Boise, Idaho, on National Chess Day in 2012. – FN
