Sam,

Note to Phil: I always have respected you, despite our disagreement
over certain matters, long forgotten by me.

Never mind them bananas, Frank. Concentrate on your opening prep, and your
play OTB. If we need to raise $7.50 for the computer, I volunteer the first
50 cents! which is erm, a certain percentage of the whole, though
psychologically the first penny is the greatest, no? I know 2 people you
also know willing to come up with the other 7 bucks.

And one other thing, why don't you stop respecting me and instead write for
Chessville about the gig? We should like a reporter on the scene to give it
some color. Let me know, publisher would we happy to feature your report -
and I will inform him of his opinion.

We are pretty much at Chessville about chess as it exists, rather than what
cudda been, or what shudda been. Though we err towards what aughta, which,
imo, is betta.

Cordially, Phil

Best wishes to all,
Frank
