GM KEENE REVIEWS THE REVIEWER Before the Duras-Teichmann fracas I dimly felt that I had heard of Taylor Kingston somewhere. Then it occurred to me where he has swum into my ken. He reviewed the algebraic version of my book "Aron Nimzowitsch a Reappraisal" published by Batsford in 1999 after two earlier editions of 1974 and 1991. I had forgotten this but then it popped back into my mind.The...

Quote from www.chessbase.com : "...now the Dutch chess magazine New in Chess, in a desperate search for new material, asked ChessBase columnist Mig to fill out their last page questionnaire". New In Chess is really desperate.They could not have found anyone better than Mig for the job! Congratulations! But would not they be desperate even more?

We humans focus most of our attention to the centre of the visual field. What is going on in the periphery of the visual field is automatically sorted out by the brain (so it's not as simple that the vision is inferior there). This sorting out of information, and reduction of the brain's attention, increases the farther away you go from the centre. Would chess be less affected by blunders if the...

Kasparov's statement at the end of 1984 KK match. ======================================= During the press conference on Friday, February 15, called by Campomanes, at noon Moscow time, in the Hotel Sport, BOTH Kasparov and Karpov stated very CLEARLY that they want to continue the match.

Does Sam Sloan realize that he's a big asshole? No one gives a **** about what he says. He's also a child molester and criminal.

WHAT YOU WON'T HEAR FROM OUR FIDE "TEAM" The FIDE Congress in Turin is over. Votes for Kirsan routinely cost about two to three thousand dollars each. Payments were made half in cashbeforehand and half in cash after voting. Our "team" members will tell you the ballot was secret, which is true.

What is the story behind the scandalous behaviour of the British player? Does he have mental problems? -- Work like the ponies in coalmines. Dance like the teardrop explodes. Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet. Sing as though your little throat would burst.

I noticed the other day that the 1914 edition of "Hoyle's Games" had a section on chess, a subsection on chess openings, and a reference to the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) as one of the ordinary openings of the time. This brought a smile to my face, remembering that Schiller and Watson's recent book on how to defeat certain "annoying" chess openings had some analysis on...

I just received mine today and it contains font sizes much too small to read. Also where is the correspondence chess coverage? That's my only interest, the only thing I read (Alex Dunne), except sometimes Larry Evans - now both are absent. This new rag has nothing of interest for me. So, how do we cancel this bogus new Chess Life editor? From what I've seen, the new USCF Exec Director is...

Stop making fun of her because she's a dyke. Stop making fun of her because she's politically ambitious. She knows how to make the best deals for herself. What's wrong with that? Is it a crime to screw people along the way to achieve your ambition? Bill Clinton did it. So did many other politicians and they're good at it. So stop making fun of this nice lady.

June Chess Life is Fabulous I just received the June Chess Life this morning. It is great. The magazine has been completely reformatted. There is a great picture of Onischuk on the cover, but better yet is a greater picture of Jennifer Shahade on the inside cover. You would think that Jennifer is the cover girl for Vogue Magazine. You would never imagine that she plays chess too. A fantastic...
