Chess friends

After a long trip to meet my old chess friends, I came back home. The trip
was very interesting. I didn't have enough time to meet everybody I intended
to visit, but mainly, my trip was successful.

That trip awakened my memories on my long trips to the East when I was
young. One of the nicest trip was visiting fantastic towns Samarkand and
Bukhara. These towns were on the "silky way" and I enjoyed in looking at
beautiful clothings of their inhabitants and listening stories about
Tamerlane, Mongol warrior from 14th and 15th century. When my country was
popular in the world, decades ago, our people worked in different countries.
It's interesting that in that friendly country the hotel in which I spent
some days was built by people from my country. In one park I saw people
playing chess and many spectators. I wished success to these players and to
show west countries incredible depth of eastern mind and tradition, which
maybe never be appreciated enough in west countries. Maybe people from the
west, will never visit these fantastic towns and know its priceless values.
One of the last intellectual connection between East and West is chess.
Here is one "precious stone" from Uzbekistan, Rustam Kasimdzhanov and some
his games:

Greetings to Goran Tomic,

Please pardon the verbatim reposting of this message, which I would
like to bring to your consideration.....

After reviewing your posted games, and the considerable doscourse as
to if you are (or, are not) an alter ego of Robert James Fischer, I
would be honoured to engage you for a game in which the moves are
posted to this forum.

For my part, I plan to ignore the kibbitzers.

Feel free to take the White pieces, and post your opening move.
Otherwise, I move 1. e4. I am comfortable with the possibility of two
games simultaneously (one each with White and Black).

As a forewarning, I should let you know that I have studied chess on
and off in my sparetime for years. Although I have an aversion to
tournament playing conditions, I do regard myself as a fully capable
player. In the style and intensity of my approach to our game, I
won't manifest in any way a casual approach to the experience.

If we are men of honour, then there is no need for any time rules; the
goal is to play great chess, and to post when a firm decision as to
each move has been made.


Sincerely,
Michael Sayers
