English Chess Forum

I think it's pretty safe to assume that, if the battery is removed from the phone, the alarm won't go off.

"Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?"
"I could be wrong Sir, but I think that's the breast stroke!"

"The Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe."
This joke is on a par with the one that went: "Tomorrow's Psychic Evening has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances!"

Had I been given the choice I would have gone for:- "The Hampshire EJCOA Championships Qualifier is for all chess players, who will be aged under 22 years on August 31st 2023." Is it too late to include this as an option?

i am not blaspheming i am not saying he is the second coming or anything rediculous like that but in the scheme of things he is significant

It looks as though Alan is having another of his weird episodes.

Blow after horrendous Blow i guess everyone is taking it smack in the face at the moment with all the crises' but I am on my own to take the hits. This is starting to look an awful lot like the twaddle that got you banned from Lichess four years ago and suspended from this site for seven days only ...

infamy infamy theyve all got it in for me Alan, I think the problem with Lichess was that the moderators never came close to sharing your sense of humour. They couldn't see anything the remotest bit funny with you bombarding their forum with a seemingly endless array of messages, making ever more r...

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to reveal their results as they may not be b...

Post by AlanLlewellyn » Tue Aug 23, 2022 1:04 pm My own opinion of what people see me as is a unfamous unfunny weird Russell Brand type figure, someone that might well see himself as a Christ like figure trying to save the world while everyone is saying get out of my sight weirdo. I dont see myself...

I think it reflects very well on this forum that Alan has not received a shred of abuse here.

I agree with Nick

Is any subject more boring than other people's political leanings?

my politics are left wing not extreme right.

Does this mean you regard everyone, whose politics are not "left wing", as "extreme right"?

At 76 I think it's fair to categoricise myself as "one of the mature players." Now that I've had my two Covid jabs and will have another booster if it's offered to me in the autumn, it should mean that, if I come into close contact with any unvaccinated and/or infected people, I am unlikely to becom...

"And of 42 deaths in people with Delta variant infections, 23 were unvaccinated and seven had received only one dose. The other 12 had received two doses more than two weeks before." It strikes me that 12 is rather a lot of deaths amongst the vaccinated population given the relative low number of c...
