I don't play 960. The classic piece arrangement is enough for this lifetime.
Real chess players don't ask for takebacks. We all make mouseslips. It evens out.
I never met a chess player I didn't like.
Favourite players: Tal, Browne, Hodgson, Basman, Moro and Chucky.
Beware of Irishmen in anoraks bearing Greek gifts!
