RESOLVING THE ISSUE

Still, on the subject of playing strength, I have never claimed
to be any great player, but think with a peak Elo of 2300+, and
a top ranking of, as I recall, #46 in the country, I was a tad
better than "weak." -- Taylor Kingston

I think the only way to resolve this issue is for someone to put
up 10 grand and I will play a match against Taylor. -- Phil Innes

An excellent idea. Sam Sloan can be Phil's second,
and Neil Brennen or Louis Blair will back up NM Taylor Kingston,
the 2300+ ELO wingding.

Calling funds committee chairman Tyrone
Slothrop! Calling Joel Channing!

This should be one heckuva match. Phil will be
in trim form, and NM Kingston is the No. 47 rated
player in the country. Heh, heh, heh.

I hereby bet U.S. $100 on Phil Innes if there is a taker.

Larry Evans can be match commentator along with
a foreheadless choice nominated by NM Kingston.

Yes, a good idea. I will have great FUN watching and kibitzing another match

Well, I think Tyrone is jobless now in Tijuana (Mexicans get harder on US
emigrants) so no doubt he will take the responsibility.

What's wrong with US chess? Rank amateurs like Phil who think they
deserve a 10 grand prize.

KINGSTON VS. INNES

I pledged $500 towards a $5000 Innes-Kingston match
purse for Katrina victims. -- Bill Brock

I hereby pledge $100 for an Innes-Kingston
match on the condition that Phil Innes, who will win,
keeps the money for himself.

NOT ONE PENNY FOR KATRINA VICTIMS. NOR
A SINGLE CENT FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS SCAM THAT
HAS BECOME THE COMPENSATION OF 9/11 FAMILIES.

Bill Brock, who appears to have admitted to
molesting young boys by doing something worse than
showing them porn material (though I do NOT hold him
to the letter of what he wrote), can act as Taylor
Kingston's sports psychology adviser.

Sam Sloan, who is ritualistically accused of
molesting children without proof having been adduced,
would be an excellent second for Phil.

Weren't you also going to put up some cash for the Sloan-Brock match?
What happened to that?

MY $100 PLEDGE STANDS

This is the marketplace. I will contribute to
the prize fund, and Bill Brock says he will, too. If
enough moolah comes in, we get a match. Phil is
willing, though one figures NM Taylor Kingston will
end up swilling.

You know: "I have no desire to smell the body
odor of Philth Innes. I have no desire to be in the
same room with him. I am a spanking 2300+ ELO
but my proud man's contumely is far more important
than $10,000. I have standards."

We wait for Randy Bauer to step in and offer to
play instead of NM Kingston, which was the ploy
employed when Sam Sloan challenged NM Kingston.

Chesstours, the company that syndicates Evans On Chess.

OK. I thought you were part of that company but I may have been
thinking of some past venture that you did with Evans.

Help bot observes that it is quite possible Sam Sloan would be of
great help to Phil Innes, the near-IM from Vermont (who may actually be
weaker than Sloan); yet of what use might Louis Blair or Neil Brennen
be to Taylor Kingston? Is TK to be fed "helpful quotes" by the Nutty
Professor between moves? Or historical info to place his game into
better perspective, by The Historian?


And another thing: you would think that for ten grand, Phil would be
willing to toss his near-IM title into the pot, winner take all. After
all, he is the blitz master while TK is a slothful turtle, likely to
blunder or lose on time in a winning position, OTB.

Near-IM Innes doesn't like it when the opposition's name is listed
with tiles, but his is left out -- that's favoritism. And postal --
excuuuse me, I mean *correspondence* -- masters are not called National
Masters; they are called ICCMs (not to be confused with ICBMs).

I've compared playing chess with Sloan to pig-wrestling; it hurts your
stature and only makes the pig happy. Playing chess with the
Brattleboro anti-Semite Innes is a comparable act. I'll pass on this
display; Mr, Kingston and Dr. Blair are free to do whatever they like.
