Case history

Solomon lore

In a world that moves too fast, Solomon is content to stop and listen. Offering a friendly ear and good counsel, Solomon has found himself sitting across the chess table from tourists, criminals, and titans of industry. But no matter his opponent, Solomon remains un-phased... because to him, chess is so much more than a game. It's an equalizer. A way for him to connect to people from all walks of life on an even playing field.
