Neil Brennen first included Phil. Ask him about it.

Okay. Mr. Brennen, can you make out where the
damned pieces are in the photo of Karel Van Mander?
All I see is blur, and it seems like before we discuss
the relative playing strengths of different commentators,
we should agree on the chess position itself, and who
is on move.


**Ask me or him? Personally I am terrified of making a fat-bloke joke
inadvertently - what's so funny about an obese "Chesscafe Author" abusenik
chess hysterian wobbling around the countryside on his bike for charity? I
don't get it.

He's a threat to public safety; suppose somebody
comes along, jabbering on their cellphone and not
paying attention, and there's an accident? The guy
on the bicycle always loses. (Well, there was /one/
case where the driver of a Yugo car was killed, and
the cyclist just got his bike smashed up a bit....)


All Neil has to do is approve the statement and my apology is given.
Ball's in his court.

Impostor! You're from Vermont, which is way in
Canada or someplace like that. They have trees
there, and everything.

A famous IM once wrote that the courts would
settle this in good time. O' course, that was what?
maybe five or six years ago, when I was much
younger. Now they say they're coming out with a
new model, which is even more "helpful" they say,
more efficient, they say. Probably better lookin',
too. But I bet it can't play chess half as good as
I kin.
