I'm to blame for the domain expiring.
Auto renewal on an expired card. Renewal notice sent to spam.

We need some new faces to join the party...

So why Mr Pardoe do you propose an already formidable organiser to take over the GM Open team captaincy?

In the Guernsey chess open of 2007 Fred Hamperl, the organiser, was itching to have me paired against Tiger Hillarp Persson to give the pairing Ihor v Tigger. Yes people pronounce my name Eeyore!

Mr Bryant has tried to discredit numerous theories and papers from scientists and reputable journalists without being any sort of expert in the field and without a shred of evidence to support this. He's obviously not an expert in the field of Alzheimer research and the evidence points him to be an ...

Peter Farr wrote "Jonathan Bryant has gone through this subject in a lot more detail and with a lot more rigour on the S&B blog. It may not have as much kudos as the New York Times, but that doesn't make the S&B stuff wrong." Is it Dr Jonathan Bryant leading Alzheimer researcher at Oxbridge Universi...

Thanks Chris, I'm aware of the definition but I'm not a scientist. Is it safe to assume that when papers are written by scientists and journalists are quoting them as evidence then so can we? The collective sources quoted above hold a bit more reputation that the Streatham Blog thingy that was used ...

Mr Bryant. Do any of these count for evidence? https://www.ichess.net/2011/06/29/does-chess-help-alzheimers-disease/ http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129628082 http://www.acbl.org/assets/documents/about/news-clippings/Mind-Games-May-Trump-Alzheimers.pdf http://www.nytimes.com/200...
