Football v chess

[John Foley]

We should be grateful for the England football team for making chess look like a well-governed machine.
No manager and no captain prior to the big event? - would never happen in chess.

[Sabrina Chevannes]

This must be sarcasm right? If not, then you haven't been to many chess events!

[John Foley]

Sabrina, only slightly.
At least chess organisers can write, work a computer, know what an email is and can send a text message.
We don't ask for much.

[Sabrina Chevannes]

That's a bit harsh on footballers!

Done. It's in the name of Molly B. Denum
Don't forget to write it down.

Thanks. Just keep it quiet and don't tell the FA - I quite fancy a new job.

Can they? Don't tar all organisers with the same brush!

Long ago in another thread...
Alex H>... I want to see stats from top-level chess. Didn't have them... Football league I did.<
