Nice one Gareth mate
I'll be there too,so perhaps you could introduce me to her? I've got this new idea in the ...c5 Caro...
Really though,the origional piece in the Guardian was derogatory because Mr. Moss claimed that GMs lacked the ''
ability'' to talk about anything else.

Any subject can be made interesting; much depends on the enthusiasm of the orator.

Would she like to come to my FIDE Arbiters' Seminar, also at Sunningdale this weekend? The use of electronic clocks of various types will be amongst the subjects covered.

Hi Carsten,
This was my point. If only Bill Hartston had used his great wit to
sing the praises of chess players,rather than leading his readers to
believe that chess is some kind of prozac which we indulge in so that we
don't go completely bonkers[/quote]
Sorry, I completely misread your original point then. Now I agree.

I'll ask her later, although I fear seeing [euphemism] Keith's novelty [/euphemism] combined with an arbiter’s meeting might just be a little too much excitement for one weekend don’t you?
