DISDAIN FALLS MAINLY ON THE PLAIN?

By Larry Parr

Parr will also assume that he has won a point, if no one responds to it. He
doesn't realize what the silence actually means...(Jim Eade)

Jim Eade spoke of his utter disdain for this writer and for GM Larry
Evans on numerous occasions. He continues not to disdain us.

Jim Eade spoke of having far better things to do with his valuable time
than to hang around rgcp. He still hangs around rgcp.

I, for one, continue to believe Mr. Eade when he describes himself as
an affluent, important individual with better things to do with his time than
to fail to disdain those, including yours truly, whom he promised to disdain.

Perhaps the disdain falls mainly on the plain in Spain. Perhaps we have
an rgcp version of My Fair Gentleman. I know not.

In any event Mr. Eade and John Fernandez have fallen into colloquy. My
further comments appear in multiple brackets below.

snip lies by Parr

[[[[[Parr: Translation: Mr. Eade can relate no lies, so he claims them.
Specifically, he does not wish to deal with Mr. Fernandez's ludicrous claim to
have had three dozen insider Olympic sources telling him, as he "worked the
phones," that chess would be in the Beijing Olympics. Mr. Fernandez made this
claim 24 hours before chess was rejected in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.]]]]]

[[[[[Mr. Fernandez]]]]]

Not by me. This is of course completely untrue. I will agree that there are
some idiots in FIDE like Kirsan who did think this way.

[[[[[Mr. Eade, tapping Mr. Fernandez just a mite on the knuckles]]]]]

I don't think is quite fair, John. Drug testing was never described as a
guarantee of Olympic recognition. It was always described as a necessary
precondition.

[[[[[Parr: I also noted the distinction between necessary and sufficient
conditions. However, the real sell was not that chess would appear somewhere
in Asia or Africa but that chess in the Olympics would benefit chess IN
AMERICA. That was always hogwash.]]]]]

[[[[[Mr. Fernandez]]]]]

I think that their behavior, especially by that moron "Dr." Press really hurt
the situation and gave you ammunition. That reality hasn't been true for years
now, though.

[[[[[Mr. Eade, making a claim]]]]]

Press was a problem. The propagandists did get ammunition from him. He was
the only person in FIDE who actually was pro-drug testing. He was also
replaced. That message was not lost on the propagandists, they merely chose to
ignore it.

[[[[[Parr: Mr. Eade claims that Dr. Press "was the only person in FIDE who
actually was pro-drug testing." This is an arrant, arrogant lie. Straight
out. FIDE paid his expenses to tout dope testing around the world and fired
him when the bill got too high.

One notes, for example, that FIDE itself jumped the gun on drug testing,
carrying out testing of kids at a youth event in Argentina even BEFORE FIDE had
adopted its own regulations! There is now a permament medical bureaucracy built
into the FIDE structure with arbiters being paid to attend events to oversee
drug testing. What is one to make of Mr. Eade's claim that only Dr. Press in
FIDE favored drug testing? That is not only a lie -- but an evident clumsy
lie.]]]]]
