DrNyet

Jim Eoff, near San Antonio & Bandera, Texas (USA), the somewhat strange self-purported Cowboy Capitol of the World. Born 1955, Houston Cougar, simple Christian w/Buddhist influence, nice semi-hermit fellow looking forward to retirement in a few years, or two weeks if I give in to temptation.

Formerly known as ChessDog, under which I played several thousand games from approximately 1996-2008. Used to be on in all my free time and hang out with my cousin who passed away, and my brother, who is not on anymore. Haven't been active for several years prior to 2022.

A very enjoyable and unique chess site: Chessgames.com (my brief bio there: http://goo.gl/q8gf0). DrNyet is a take on Dr No and the Russian influence on Chess. I also have a great curiosity about Russia. I have upwards of 500 chess books and a number of sets, accumulated since 1971.

Places I've been active in varying degrees: Abilene (TX), Houston, Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Beaumont (TX), Orlando, Austin, San Antonio.

Mongo like candy... and chess books.

I place my bet with the professional consensus -- i.e. double-vaxed and boosted -- but there are enough doctors with opposing arguments that it can give intelligent people reason for pause. So, careful about condemning those you disagree with.

Intemperate statements, whether by Biden, Trump, bookoo other "public servants," or in channel 97, show a person -- in that moment at least -- seeking something other than truth, i.e. influenced (deluded) by ego/emotion.

The Bible is amazing. An Ivy League theoretical physicist examined the creation story in light of relativity -- it matches science in terms of the universe's age (link upon request). The Bible may or may not be perfect (gasp! keep an open mind) but it predicted the future and the things came to pass.
