For the past couple of weeks, Raymond Keene, at least as provided to us by carrier pidgeon Phil Innes (doesn't Raymond know how to use the Internet? Has there been a massive UK power failure somewhere?) has been pressing to know which of his books I find lacking. As noted in a previous post researching my newsgroup posts, for several years I have found "Winning with the Nimzo-Indian" to fit into...

WINNING WITH THE NIMZO-INDIAN By GM Ray Keene I have spent some time rooting out the ratpackers and gathering material for my forthcoming Hardinge Simpole book "Winter of Discontent." Now, for my next chapter, I address Randy Bauer's criticism of my book Winning with the Nimzo Indian. I trust he did not think I would

I have found out lately that Mr. Nigel Freeman is supporting Kirsan Ilyumzhinov in the forthcoming FIDE election : http://www.chessfidelity.com/elections.php?txt_id=101 He is the President of the Bermuda Chess Association and the candidate for FIDE Treasurer. Any comments ?

It's only four points over the last peak, but it confirmed that peak, and I'm "testing the all-time high" as they say in the stock market. I'm getting better at figuring out where to put my pieces during the game, and at holding positional advantages, pluis I'm dusting off the weaker players much more easily. Now if I can only keep training another six years or so I might get somewhere.

$am $loan for USCF Executive Board This year, the voters are faced with a question which has never faced them before, at least not to this extent. The question is: To what extent should present or former employees of the USCF be allowed to run for the Executive Board? At present, of the five members on the board, two are former full time employees of the USCF. A third does paid work for the...

Kirsan You owe me money. You can be killed just as easily as me. Marcus Roberts I have received to reply to this message.

If I win the election, I promise to promote Beatriz Marinello and Jennifer Shahade. They should be on the cover of Chess Life each month. No one in chess have bigger and nicer tits. We need to fully utilize their assets. Lesbian is in now. We will get the entire lesbian community joining the USCF. Sam Sloan Candidate

Face it, at www.fide.com, FIDE has announced ID Cards so that than can ARREST people who they SET up for bomb threats.

Has anybody ever actually designed a House Shaped like a Rook? In his famous 1962 interview, Bobby Fischer said: "I got strong ideas about my house. I'm going to hire the best architect and have him build it in the shape of a rook. Yeh, that's for me. Class. Spiral staircases, parapets, everything. I want to live the rest of my life in a house built exactly like a rook." This seems like an...

FIDE APPARENTLY ASKED ME TO GET ILLEGAL VISAS FOR THE RUSSIAN MOB ST Kitts an Nevis was asked to participate in an illegal immigration scheme to get fake VISAS into EUROPE, by FIDE officials. The Russian Mob is tried to use St Kitts and Nevis to funnel illegal activity, and when I refused, my money was STOLEN, and we were thrown out of FIDE. We will get back in to FIDE, but Kirsan probably is...

Ernie Schlich brings on Four Controversies Ernie Schlich is a quiet sort of guy. Always around but rarely says anything. He does his job and minds his business. Never any problem with good ole' Ernie. That was until last week when Ernie Schlich surprised everybody by announcing that he was running for USCF Executive Board. Almost immediately, four controversies broke out. I have not reported...
