1: Engllishking and i, knightrunner, have decided to start a petition to let
Spazer shout again! feel free to join our cause by adding this exact note in
your finger notes. Spazer is a great bot that adds FUN to icc when it
shouts!! let those who enjoy it see it shout again!!
2: When i have a chance , i am going to write here the story of how i created
the STANDARD LEAGUE. it is still in existence. Russ had the name changed to
Team 60 60 League. Even that time control came from me. It was a project i
worked on for 11 months
3: i am very proud of my accomplishment. No one else had ever attempted such
a league. it was a huge undertaking. To me , it was an unqualified success,
with no visible reward , except in the knowledge that i gave something to ICC
that it had NOT before
4: It is a pity that thewiz retired from STC bunch, as i would have liked to
have written this in that newspaper. I did not have a lot of help. There were
people that sent out emails for me. Moondog was great, Missb also. I DID get
Russ as a TD , and he was helpful. His listing of the pairings was a huge
help .
5: i tried to get assistance from ICC administration, but unfortuantely they
chose not to assist in any way. Perhaps , they wanted to see if the initail
event could work. I DID set up a committee to help me, i received literally
hundreds of messages in helping to create teams. I even created a web-page
6: It is a pity that the tournament director i got to run the league was not
totally truthful in all he did, and eventually , as a result he took over the
league for himself. I was afraid of the TD having too much power, and that is
what occurred
7: from GM Talion's notes ( i totally agree) : Ok, i'm fed up with all
computer operator nonsense about going to the top of the rating charts at
all costs, including limiting humans ability to an increment of no more
than 1. 5: This is chess, not a speed or mouse contest. More? see his note
5
8: Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little,
which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad
breath. This made him a super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis;)
9: "ICC requires me to state that I am not an official vendor, and you should
read the third paragraph in help Services."
10: I give chess lessons online . Also if you are in NY City area I can meet
you in the city. For rates online or in person, message me with your email
address preferably and i will send u an email *** members of knightrunner
