About Brian Wall
LM Brian Wall
Paternal side - Irish
Catholic
Great Great Grandfather Wall had an Irish farm which my brother Patrick visited in Ireland. It is claimed that men would come from miles around just for his advice. My brother saw his marriage records in the County clerk's office. Grandfather Lucius Wall was a judge in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with three kids. My Father Lucius Wall II is a stock market prognosticater, P.Q.Wall. I am the oldest of his 9 sons. I have 4 brothers and 4 half-brothers. My daughter is a civil engineer. My son is second on his Chess team.
Maternal side - Russian, European Jews
My mother's mother was born in Kiev, Ukraine. Other family members born in Germany, Poland, Latvia. My mother was born in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. My Mom raised 5 boys. I was born in New York, then California, then Denver, then Texas, then New Hampshire/Massachusetts and now Denver again. I attended Holmes Elementary (New York) Skinner Junior High (Denver), North High (Denver) and University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. I learned to mate with a bishop and a knight.
Chess
My father taught me at 6. My Mom didn't want to play. Age 17 - I won the Colorado Junior Championship 6-0. I went on to score at least as many points as the winner in 6 Denver Opens and 5 Colorado Championships. I was 1993 Massachusetts Blitz Champion. I have written for the Colorado Informant and Chess Horizons (Massachusetts).
