Does anyone care? Does anyone know who this person is? I ask again - does anyone care? This group seems to be obsessed with American chess politics, and it's not as if America is even an important chess-playing nation. Enough of this trivia! Bragcat "Sam Sloan" wrote in message

Hi!

The system is going to be...

Anand and Khalifman come to mind. As a matter of fact when the fide knockout tournament came to the fore Khalifman won the title of FIDE world champion. There were many critics of his title but it wasn't harped on as you would think. Why? Because Khalifman is one of the true gentlemen of the game. The way you describe Defirmian if he won the FIDE knockout title no one can say anything bad...

I'm eagerly awaiting Kaspy's book in bookstores. Anyone seen this yet? Hoping this'll be a good one.

Tim Hanke Chess Trivia Game Several posters have suggested that I am slandering Tim Hanke by saying that he intends to use his position on the USCF Executive Board to force the USCF to sell his game in the catalog, even though the game has not yet been produced and nobody knows whether there will be a market for it. Here are some quotes by Tim Hanke on this subject. Nobody paid much attention,...

Hi, I would like to play the sicilian scheveningen with black, but I'm worried about the keres attack. What are the plans for black to defend against the pawn storm and where are blacks winning chances? Should I caste long? I heard 6. ... h6 7.h4 a6 is a good defense. Any thoughts? Tomas

.. Apparently, Nick's lickspittle, Dork Houlsby, is now attempting to confound a few comments I made into a very general argument that Nick has *never* criticized his lickspittle. This comes as no surprise, because a while back, I read Mark Houlsby's very similar claims. I am beginning to suspect that Mark may in fact really be our SuperHero, "Dork"! Of course, this is nothing but a *strawman*...
