It seems that for once we have a sensible ECF president. Best of luck to Mr Lawson in his new role.

Let's just hope he sticks to chess, eh?

Not sure what your point is?

Rob Thompson · Post by **Rob Thompson** » Mon Oct 27, 2014 6:23 pm

Matt's point is presumably that when he strays from chess topics, his writing can be considerably less than sensible.

JustinHadi · Post by **JustinHadi** » Mon Oct 27, 2014 6:39 pm

This has already been discussed.

As if that hinders anything else being brought up on this forum.

Doesn't mean that standards don't exist.

No harm in making the point again IMO. I wish him well as long as he promotes our great game, something he has shown he can do effectively.

I agree that it is an excellent article, though I disagree with the headline "Benedict Cumberbatch and The Imitation Game will turn chess geeks into heroes"

I hope, and expect, that Benedict Cumberbatch and The Imitation Game will turn maths geeks into heroes.

Just thread-jacking for a moment, is this site still on BST?

No, I reset anyone on GMT but left the rest as is so you might need to correct in the user control panel if you are out.

No, it works perfectly for me, but then again I'm on CET!
