Heil Dubya!

This is the first time I have heard Keres -- one of the best-loved persons in
the history of chess -- called a "Nazi collaborators" (sic) and/or "a former
Nazi", but, of course, that's representative of Scam Spam. I'm waiting for him
to paint Machgielis Euwe with the same lying brush. (Incidentally, where would
Scam Spam have had chess professional Paul Keres play chess during the early
1940s? Wasn't he, like most of continental Europe, a captive of the fascists?)

Why not call Robert J. Fischer a communist, because he went to Moscow of his
own free will, visited chess clubs and skittled with many Soviet players? And
of course, assholes like Scam Spam still insist on calling Fischer "Jewish",
although he consciously (and, perhaps, maliciously) changed his religion and he
never has accepted the Jewish culture.

Concerning "the fact" that Botwinnik "was a Jew", Scam Spam not unexpectedly
goes along with the racist lie that a person with a Jewish ancestor MUST be
Jewish, just as a person "with one drop of Negro blood" must be "Negro".
Judaism is a religion and/or a culture -- nothing more nor less. One is Jewish
if one professes that religion or accepts that culture as one's own. While
other members of Botwinnik's family -- most notably Igor -- have proudly
professed Judaism, I never have heard of Mikhail Botwinnik's position, either
as Jewish or as non-Jewish. (But, of course, what else would one expect of
Scam Spam, who, bye the bye, has changed his own religion?)

Sam forgets to mention, that the 24th game was drawn after Botvinnik's
offer.
Botvinnik was "a pawn up in a better position" -- just quoting Bronstein in
Chess
Improviser. The conspiracy theorists always remember to mention the 6th and
the
23rd game, but the 24th game doesn't seem to fit in these theories.

(Much snipped.)
It is also to be recalled that the way that Botvinnik became world
champion was that in 1948 Keres lost four suspicious games in a row to
him. Keres had even more reason to fear for his life than did
Bronstein, because Keres was an Estonian who had been Nazi
collaborators during World War II and Keres had played in Nazi events.
So, Bronstein as a relative of Trotsky and Keres as a former Nazi had
everything to fear during the height of Stalin's purges during
1948-1951. Meanwhile, Botvinnik, mislabeled "Botvinnik the
Invincible", was the good party man, the fact that he was a Jew not
being much held against him.

Probably the only thing that saved the lives of Keres and Bronstein
was that they were two of the strongest players in the world. Some
lesser but still grandmaster strength players like Petrov were
executed by Stalin during those purge years.

(The more information that comes out about the attacks on the Twin Towers and
the Pentagon of 11 September 2001 the more it appears that those attacks were
organized by the rulers of the United States and were intended to have the same
effect on the people of the United States that the Reichstag fire had on the
people of Germany in 1933.)
