He has never forgiven Mr. Sloan for showing him up. Ah
yes, one can remember the Kingston posts of the period
in which he offered every excuse imaginable for
poltroonery such as refusing to breathe the same air
in the same room with Sam Sloan.

Perhaps it is time to revisit precisely what our
NMnot wrote and examine HIS OWN shifting explanations
for the lie about his rating. Or NMnot can peddle his
wares elsewhere. His choice.

It seems to me that this cannot be just another case
of Evans ratpacker twisting of facts; no, I would say that
Mr. Parr is definitely going senile and has thus forgotten
that it was established long ago that TK did not "lie"
about his rating. Mr. Parr must be excused for failing
to be able to recall -- given his condition -- the relevant
facts.

For those who may not know, Taylor Kingston wrote
that he had been a "2300+", and it turned out that he
was talking about his superb correspondence chess
record, not over-the-board ratings and certainly not
a FIDE OTB rating. The only "lie" I have managed to
detect is the fiction which the Evans ratpackers have
warmly embraced ("surprise!") on this issue.

If one is desperate to find a lie, look no further than
the fib Mr. Innes told about his supposed title and
rating, claiming to have been both "nearly an IM" and
to have held a rating of "2450". The fact that IM Innes
is one of the ratpack is rather ironic, I think.


Oh, yes, our NMnot has also posted under other
names on this forum IN PRAISE OF HIMSELF

And let's not forget about Sanny.


The man has a rock. He must needs recrawl beneath it.

Mr. Parr is mistaken. Taylor Kingston lives high in
the sky, in a big castle I expect. From up there, he
looks down upon mere mortals with disdain -- much
like Nick Burbaki or Larry Evans. The rent on such
a spread must be a killer... .
