Speaking of Arnold's result in the 1995 U.S.

I would like to take this opportunity to draw attention
to the fact that those antequarians/historians who are
always demanding proof of something in the form of a
printed article are barking up a wrong tree. Setting an
error in type and wasting dead trees to disseminate
it widely, in no way amounts to proof of an event's
actual occurrence. To the contrary, all it really proves
is that Error gets half way 'round the world before Fact
can get his pants on.


over Emmanuel Perez, rated 2388 at the
time. Perez as Black grabbed the b-pawn, and we know
the rest. Arnold made it look so easy, which we know
it was not. I introduced that game with this comment:
"A strong young master learned the octogenarians,
bald and benevolent, bite."


I wouldn't want to brag about that monstrosity of a
sentence. How about this instead: "A strong young
master learned that octogenarians, bald and
benevolent, bite." (Proofreading is easy; what is hard
is finding a writer who is not too ego-bloated to realize
he needs one.)
