Bob Feldstein already accomplished the "play rated chess in every state" challenge.

Congrats Megan on soon to be an amazing feat. I'm on a quest myself to visit every US Presidents Birthplace and Gravesite. Currently up to 22. But I was slightly disppointed that when she played in my state (Rhode Island) she only played one round and withdrew. But it's all good and wishing her continued success.
