I'm not playing chess because I'm spending too much time trying to understand scoresheets from the 4NCL. This one features: (a) One player writing in a language where M = N, B = Q, C = R, T = K, E = B. The handwriting isn't too neat, and there are notation errors. (b) His opponent's scoresheet, whi...

The BCM Editor seems to be getting quite excited about this issue at http://www.stevegiddins.blogspot.com/ He has at least managed a couple of posts without being derogatory to this forum :) On a parallel topic, can we recall any similar imposters in British chess? Without any knowledge of the fact...

One possibility if the dates have already been booked and a change is required is to have a sixth weekend with the final round on the Saturday, and then maybe it is a great opportunity to have a very large 4NCL 6 round quickplay tournament on the Sunday This sounds like a good idea for a 1 off if n...

No, you didn't tell anyone to grow up. Thank you for confirming this. I can only speak for myself and I am glad that you accept that I did not say that. Like I said before, as an intellectual, you should get your facts straight. Lots of people say lots of things on this forum, you can not attribute...

I did not tell anyone to grow up Gareth. If I did then please point it out to me. Otherwise you should apologise for saying that I said things which I did not. As an intellectual, you should understand the need to get your facts straight. It is easy to throw out comments like this, but unless they ...

I have been particularly impressed by Paul Sanders’ postings both here and on other threads. He expresses his views in a calm and measured tone and points out, quite rightly in my opinion, that we are lagging a long way behind the rest of Europe. I’d like to echo these comments. Carol and Krish...
