 1:  ** members of knightrunner team for match vs. Kasparov**, Nov.8, 1997:
  knightrunner, Catarina, Minstrel, Ra ,and torr**We were 1 of 2 teams
  representing ICC. The other was RossA's. We  were selected first tho:) For
  more on the event and results see news 811 and news 812
 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 with all pertinent
  information
