1) Mr. Tomic does indeed play chess. In fact, he is a very good player and
I
enjoyed playing over a couple of his published games.

Thanks for the compliments. Here are some more games I played on
chess21.com.

That were blitz games, so some mistakes are reasonable.

2) Mr. Tomic lives in a country where the pleasant pasttime of ethnic
hatred
has been elevated almost to an artform. This could be relevant to the
Fischer thread.

No, that's not true.
My country is nice, the people are peaceful and very hospitable. We became
the first Ecologic state in the world, in 1991. By the way, yet before our
Adriatic coast was entitled: Golden coast of Montenegro. Our mountains are
beautiful and our history is great.

I'm sending you some facts:
Cetinje, a small town in Montenegro, lies on the slopes of Mt. Lovcen. It is
only about forty kilometres from the well-known Adriatic resorts of Budva
and Kotor.
Ivan Crnojevic founded the town in 1842 and named it after the river Cetina
which then flowed through the valley.
The first printed book of the South Slavs was printed in Cetinje in 1493. It
was an Orthodox prayer book. It is now kept in the Cetinje monastery and it
is valued as a real masterpiece of printing.
Bishop-prince Petar Petrovic Njegos lived and ruled in Cetinje from 1830 to
1851. There he opened two schools and supported the printing of books. A man
of great education and a poet of genius, he travelled a lot abroad and
offered hospitality to many well-known people of the time.
His residence Biljarda has been turned into a museum. The museum includes a
rich library with books written in several languages, and his billiard table
after which the whole building was named. His most important works were writ
ten in the Biljarda: MOUNTAIN WREATH, LIGHT OF THE MICROCOSM, SCEPAN THE
SMALL, and others.
Cetinje is famous as a town-museum. It has five well-known museums, an Art
Gallery, the Central Library of Montenegro, etc.

Here is Wilson's translation from the epic poem "Dioba Jaksica". How does it
sound to you in English?

The moon speaks hard words to the Day-star:
"Where have you passed your time, star, o Day-star?
Where have you passed, where have you lost your time,
Lost your time for three livelong days?"
The Day-star to the moon makes answer:
"Where have I passed, where have I lost my time?
All over the white town, over Belgrade,
Where I looked and saw a mighty wonder,
How two brothers shared father's goods,
Dmitar and his brother Bogdan Jaksic."

Do you like it?

If you want, come in my country and you will be my guest. I'm sure that
you'll perceived that all of that you have heard about my country and our
people is not true.

Regards,
Goran Tomic
