April - Boris Blumin by Life Master Lonnie Kwartler Recently, John Riddell asked me about Boris Blumin. Boris was a player we knew from 1979-1980 at the Yonkers Chess Club when it was in the Girl Scouts' Cabin in Yonkers. That was also when the Yonkers Chess Club and the Bronx Chess Club joined to form the Bronx Yonkers Chess Club. We knew that Boris lived in Coop City, but we did not know much more about him. Boris was born on December 29, 1907 in St. Petersburg, Russia.That was before Russia accepted the modern calendar which may result in some sources saying 1908. Boris won the chess championship of Canada in 1936 and 1937. Boris lived in Trenton until he died on February 16, 1998. While in New Jersey he won the Hamilton Chess Club Championship in 1986. I am happy to present three of Boris Blumin's games against high class competition.
