LAURIE'S '''CONFUSED MIND"
I agree with Mr.
Laurie that the implication can be found in what NM
Kingston wrote,

There you have it, one and all, in black and white, Larry
Parr claims that Kingston is an NM!

By the standards of evidence usual in these groups, that is as rock
solid as proof gets. No evidence to the contrary will ever, ever,
ever, be allowed to contradict this. He admitted it, after all!

Congratulations, NM Kingston!

The Master is dead, long live Le Maistre!

And congratulations, Larry. It takes a big man to do that.

Now, if we can just get Neil Brennan to assert that Phil was rated
2400+, we can dump this absurd credentialism forever.

Sadly, I am currently in a slump and can only manage 2286 [non-Elo], and
that is going West too!

Or more likely, not.

It definitely is. The big 2800 boogers are thumping me pretty hard. So are
the 2500 boogers.

& a foot on snow on the border!

OTOH, the electricians are out of the house at last, I can cleansed the
garage so you can get a car in it before the parking ban takes place
[yesterday], changed both cat litters, and am joking around with Sam's
obsessional friend - a Sam who has just woken up to women's point of view of
things, [they have them!] and has noticed a similarity in their opinions,
whether they be his obsessional friend or the next President of the USA -
that sexists dudes get up their nose! And I finished the column early. And I
wrote to Mickey Adams to inquire if he wants his questions yet - cool
questions including a bunch of GM ones to him, but also one from a 'Cornish
Grandmother to a Grandmaster' on the topic of nsaty scorpion curries as
encountered in Libya, rather than a right proper pasty as soul-food. The
English chess fed want to publish the interview to their own scholastic
community, so I encouraged him to, as a scorpio himself...

It was a good day in chess. That is, in the big wide world, hardly reflected
in this frequently glum place, which has nardly [!] any compass thereof.

Cordially, Phil Innes
