Hugh Myers did it! There is a person who keeps attacking me, every day, day after day, in every forum of which he is a member with a repetitiveness exceeded only by Bill Brock. He keeps calling me a liar at every opportunity and is causing a lot of problems for me and other members of these forums. Mr. Jomp has called me a liar 42 times in the last 21 days, or an average of twice a day, on rgcp...

LOOK WHO'S TALKING! If Cerebus will carefully examine the newsgroup record via Google or some such search engine, he will find that Blair asks "the same questions again and again" only when the person asked gives no satifactory answer, or no answer at all. Notorious repeat offenders would be Parr and Innes, who virtually never answer "inconvenient" questions. -- Taylor Kingston

Hi. I occasionally post chess books on ebay. Would it be okay if I were to post a link here? I don't want to be obnoxious, but I thought some of you might be interested, so I thought I'd ask first. Thanks!

WHAT WOULD PARR DO? It would be interesting to see what Larry Parr, former CL editor and a good one, would have to say about this exchange. I know that he is confident that Evans would do well if a scientific survey were to be conducted, and that scrapping his column is a mistake. But I would not guess he'd support the general principle of making editorial decisions about the content of CL by...

It seems that no human power can stop the Armenians as they beat Ukraine today in a match that symbolically passed the baton to the possible future gold medal winners. Russia are now full three points behind as they lost to accelerating France. China moved to second scoring unbelievable 4-0 vs Georgia. (...)

I thought that would grab your attention. Actually, I just located a newspaper clipping from the New York Times which has the game where I defeated Michael Shahade in the 1969 US Amateur Championship. The clipping is at http://www.samsloan.com/shahade-sloan.pdf This was before Greg and Jennifer Shahade were even born, so do not

BILL BROCK'S TRUE CONFESSIONS Let's discuss what Bill Brock (politikalhack) wrote. On March 4, 2006, Mr. Brock posted a response to Phil Innes in what may be termed his True Confessions letter, though in the absence of proof, we do not hold Mr. Brock to the import of what he pounded out so furiously on his keyboard any more than we hold Sam Sloan to the import of what he posted.

Hello, I have an old wooden chess set (circa 1940s?). I think its made out of pine or boxwood. It came with a small chess rule book done by W.B. Tattersall. Ltd. Its unpainted and the "white" wooden chess pieces are a bit dirty from use- mainly fingermark stains. I thought of cleaning it up a little. What should I use? Warm soap and

Hi, I saw the movie, The Da Vinci Code, yesterday. It was an interesting moving about a guy who does a treasure hunt by solving codes and clues along the way. He said in the movie that symbols have different meanings. I was wondering if there are any secret coded messages on a chessboard. Maybe a longtime the inventors of chess used the pieces as symbols to meet something. They all...

I Wonder playing Chess with computer as now it gives twice better moves. Play at : http://www.softtanks.com/chessgame/Chess.html The game now uses better technique which made it about twice better while making moves in same time. So the Beginner level will also give a good challenge to new players. However those a bit better at Chess should start playing with Easy

Marinello has won the battle. Shultz and company once again surrender to this dyke. She's now the new nominated President of DCA (Dyke Chess Association).

Gruppens, It is my sad duty to report more Britischer troops have been killed by the so called 'friendly-fire' in Gulf War 1 by rampaging, out of control PC yuppie American troops than had before been thought credible. This news has recently come to my attention & has raised my ire over the clear wantoness of these lawless uniformed thugs. Rememeber Gulf war 2 has yet to be reported on. I'ts...

To begin a link with four pictures of this Café : http://www.jmrw.com/News/Greenwich/index.htm Here some exerpts of a presentation paper given to me by the owner, Nicolas Paneritis : « At the Greenwich Café you are judged by only one standard : how well you play chess. That-'s why René Magritte didn't have much luck when he tried to sell there his Surrealist paintings a few decades ago. If ...

I wrote: I'm learning about time in chess, and I've come across an example which has confused me. I'd like to resolve this confusion quickly, since until I have, I don't want to continue reading the book, and I'd like to finish the book soon. So any thoughts will be appreciated! My book presents a game which begins thus: 1. e4 e5

Is this guy on fire or what! Now it says on chessbase that the match between Kramnik and Topalov may be off, or tentative whatever that means. Sounds like Kramnik is getting nervous. However for Topalov to even consider an alternative match other than with Kramnik ( though Anand would be an excellent substitute ) and pick Radjabov would be the old days of chess in the 20's and 30's. Who has...

It has been confirmed that Marinello has been added to Ilyumzhinov's team. She'll serve as the head whore for Azmaiparashvili.
