STEN DOWD'S PETTINESS

Who is this Sten? He sounds like a pretty bright guy and worthy of the
Dowd name.

Actually, Larry, if most players don't know the difference, maybe the
analogy is imperfect.... Doesn't GM Evans believe in using chess
language correctly? No matter what you say, it is not the correct use
of the word. The Soviets were not forced to take the title, it was
given to them.

Neil, just as you were a bit of a stickler with "Rookhouse" (and with
good reason) I believe that chess problem terms are not just to be
thrown around... they should be used correctly.

PS - Steven Dowd never forged Parr's name on any university website,
despite Parr's assertions to the contrary. It's really sad he has to
lie about this in order to try to smear me. But it is his usual mode
of operation.
