KINGSTON UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS

Perhaps now we have the reason Keene's books have so many mistakes --
he doesn't read! If GM Keene will be so kind as to look at the thread
with the mysterious title "Kingston replies to Keene," he will see that
it answers him point by point, and was posted on 1 May, 5:22 PM eastern
daylight time, i.e. over 5 hours BEFORE Keene posted the above claim to
be "still waiting." -- Taylor Kingston

Instead of responding in the thread "Keene reviews Kingston" which
appears
on both rgcp and rgcm we missed his response because it appears ONLY at
rgcm and not in both places.

The thread "Kingston replies to Keene" was not posted to rgcp where
it belongs.
Why Mr. Kingston did not post it to BOTH forums is a mystery indeed.

No mystery at all, Larry -- the post has nothing to do with chess
politics. It has to do with chess history and literature.

Isn't 'history and literature' also a record of chess politics? Besides, if
people have acted on the basis of reviews to assess the worth of books they
carry, especially if a national federation did that via its vendor... could
be politcs!

Therefore it
does not belong on rgcp. As for your allegation of "old tricks," my
hypocrisy-meter just went off the scale.

I don't know how liberally calibrated that scale is. Out of 10 does it
extend from (1) to (3) ? with

(1) refer to information 'elsewhere', leave forum in huff
(2) refer to even greater [but vaguer] crimes of correspondent
(3) accuse critics of taking peyote

Howdeee! Peyote-Phil
