Could anyone explain to me the sense of P Innes' claim to /be/ "we the

illusion that he /IS/ the entire chess public?

Your analysis ignores the possibility that he may actually have two
heads. *This would explain a number of things. *

I have seen a photo of P Innes once. *I saw no trace of anything but a
solitary head. *Are you suggesting a hidden head?

I once watched a movie with Schwarzenegger where one of the more exotic
mutants had a secret head that popped out of his belly at times and used
powers of precognition. *But that is science fiction Mike...

Besides, to qualify as "we, the chess public," I'd say that at least
three heads were necessary. *And, that recalls to memory an old rpg
monster named the /Studgeon/ that had the heads of Larry, Curly, and Moe
lined up atop the shoulders of a trollish body. *The poor creature was
constantly arguing with itself. *The main danger to others was getting
caught in the crossfire when Moe tried to poke the eyes or slap the
faces of the other two.

I am going to have to discount these options as being only fantasy or
science fiction. *What other explanation could there be?

Phil Innes is like a HYDRA. He has eight heads, and he spits out foul
slobber whenever Susan Polgar is attacked. You have to cut off his
heads,
but they keep growing back, more and more loyal to Queen Polgar.
