Couple chuckleheads chuck around choice crap and character assassination, as
usual.
tiniak is like to joke with a known net-stalker, whose profile is mighty
similar to the FSS, since that is tiniak's measure - he can't write this
at USCF's forum since he is banned there, since he also cannot state a
context for his writing which is not ad hominist, as here - maybe Jerry's
policy at CJA would allow it? It allows so very much! And besides, no-one
will complain since no-one will read it! :))
tiniak has no doubts since, in all his writing, he has avoided them
entirely, preferring the certainties he finds in association with such as
abusenik Neil Brennan.
:)
This is also not in Chess Life, and for good reason.

Perhaps it's the same answer to the question, "Why isn't there a "Fake
Phil Innes?" It must be purely coincidence that an associate of Truong

You [unbravely] cut the reference, but I was just thinking who here is most
like the false Sloan? In fact I have been thinking that since the entity
emerged during your prominent absense.
And really, you and the FSS have a rekably similar profile - which is not
to say you are the FSS, but similar of a type. That is something I would
address in detail.
But since guilt is such a powerful motive, and the [unconscious] need to
confess is just as much a potent motive, I think it is worth some analysis
of what the posts of the FSS and those of yourself actually comprise.
In your [dis] honor I will raise such a topic in its own thread. After all,
we got 5 years of pattern, and that is significant, as is the compulsion to
address these subjects, where you so obviously seek to divert by any
assortment of herrings, red or white, but which topic draws some individuals
to this subject like lice to what they wish to feed on.
An oddity? I don't think so. It is a pattern which is well established
psychologically, and at the very least we shall look at the scene of the
crime, the habitual behaviors, and establish the /modus/ of such a
behavioral type.
I will not fail you, Neil Brennan, since I think you have been asking me for
such an appreciation of what you yourself cannot look at, but seek relief
thereon, for some 5 years.
I'll be back!

Wow! An interview with Larry Parr! What a scoop that is! Another hard-
hitting interview for your port-folly-o, Phil.
While you are in interviewing mode, or at least what you call
"interviewing", why not interview Paul Truong about the new report
that says his screen name at the USCF Forums was also the Fake Sam
Sloan, Fake Ray Gordon, Fake Etc, Etc, Etc...

It means, to interactively con-verse, as in inter-view, [you will note the
pholologies] to achieve either greater context and/or additional concinnity.
In America I note that some people such as yourself cannot understand these
simple compound words sufficiently to grok their fullness, and would prefer
'talk to' rather than 'talk with' to describe a conversation. I suppose this
is some matter of preference and taste, or its absense.
--
You see, my question is a cunning one; it is no point asking politicians
/if/ they will do anything, one should ask /when/ and /how/ they will decide
an issue, and when and how they will act on it - I merely ask Larry his
permission to rephrase his question using these terms, especially since
Malcolm Pein had a go at the straight proposition which to-date has achieved
no response.

Because I already know the answers - both the context and the detail. I have
known a long time. You stalkers and abusers out there seem to be out of the
loop [!] and while your own angst reigns, or rather, drizzles, for a season
on usenet, I think people who profile as the FSS should indeed be concerned,
especially those who excite the issue on usenet.
I was just thinking the other day - who is the FSS most like?

Dear Larry,
Did you want to ask if they will accept the measure as a principle, how they
would determine to go forward or not, or a specific on when they will
implement it? [I assume Malcolm wrote in 'Chess'?].
While you are here - can you suggest OMOV at USCF as a model? I'll interview
you! What single factor of it could have been improved?
Thx Phil

Larry's version of "one man, one vote" is rather too literal. He means
that there is ONLY one man, and ONLY one vote (and you get ONE guess as

Do you have your own question for the ECF, Ken?
USCF chess politics is a joke subject in Europe, and it would be sad to
represent to them all there is in the shrinking pool are personalities
clawing at each other.
In Europe, chess management is a different form of activity than
professional wrestling. This is largely true because requirements for
'membership' are more relaxed or even do not exist. You can get a rating
with 'joining' anything, for example.
I have my own questions about ratings and playing activities, eg, in a
country with 1/6th US population I think there are the same number of rated
games per year. It will be interesting to read responses if OTB rating is
likely to continue at that level, or are young players opting for such as
ICC?

yeah!
communist party membership is optional as either (a) secret membership or
(b) via fronting organisation, as is similarly the Young Conservative Think
Tank which also disguises its members' thinking to such degree as to deceive
outsiders to what goes on within.
But that's trending toward the American System... and the cousins are very
sensitve about other's opinion, so
... see you in the draw thread, where good points are being made - but i
want to add something about not changing rules, but changing scoring of the
result of the game
if you got a question for ECF, continue here, since it won't be in Chess
Life. I have tried to interview USCF current board, even those who were for
it before the election, but silence continues to be the stern reply
i expect they prefer spin & lawyers to any new fangled thing such as a
<gasp! > open panel interview. whatever next!??

BRITAIN'S CHESS DECEMBER 2007
The Bobby Fischer That We Loved
Our Front Cover
Grandmaster Larry Evans, former US Champion and regular Olympiad team
member, is also a prolific chess writer.
For a great many years his syndicated newspaper columns have been read
all over America as have his Question and Answer articles in the US
magazine Chess Life.
Among his books are David Bronstein's Best Games, Modern Chess
Brilliancies, New Ideas in Chess and -- just published -- This Crazy
World of Chess!
And were it not for his collaboration and support, Bobby Fischer's My
60 Memorable Games would never have been published. See pages 28-37.
**********************************************
GM Evans send me a copy of his note to the editor, which stated:
"Thought I'd have to die before my picture would grace the cover of
another chess mag."

Dear Larry Parr,
Britain's chess federation, at least the English Chess Federation have
agreed to be interviewed by Chessville, and the President is 'enthusiastic'
about such a prospect.
As usual, I will canvass a variety of sources to generate questions. Do you
have one yourself?
[In recent correspondence with their youth organiser, ECF wanted to publish
some or all of an interview with Mickey Adams in their magazine - I suspect
they will do same with their own questionnaire].
Other correspondents on this subject should e-mail me directly, or enter
Chessville's forum and ask their questions there.
Phil Innes
USCF are silent on a similar prospect - though I will certainly raise issues
of comparison with that organisation ;)

FISCHER ENDED SOVIET DOMINATION OF CHESS
(From "The Bobby Fischer That We Loved" by GM Larry Evans in Britain's
CHESS)
He asked me to be his second at the Mallorca Interzonal in 1970 as
well as his match with Petrosian at Buenos Aires in 1971. While there
I was on good terms with grandmaster Yuri Averbakh, Russia's long-time
delegate to FIDE, who described the impact of Bobby's victory in the
USSR: "At home they don't understand. They think it means there is
something wrong with our culture."
Retired colonel Edmondson went with us. I watched this proud man crawl
and cater to Bobby's every whim because he realized that victory would
be a boon for American chess.
I only saw Bobby a few more times after he won the title in 1972
because he started to distance himself from his old friends and dwell
in his own fantasy world.
