This item just appeared in my local rag. Name rang a bell. Once a member of this forum by the same name, and from Liverpool. And bonkers. Could be someone else. If so, I'll be back to grovel. But I think not

The linked report doesn't make any mention of chess (for which we might be grateful, if it is indeed the same person)

It does mention that he studied languages at University though, and his blog describes himself as a translator amongst other things.Matt Mackenzie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 6:44 pmThe linked report doesn't make any mention of chess (for which we might be grateful, if it is indeed the same person)

He has a blog. Interesting in that he holds nothing back, full of fairly random anger, threats of violence and episodes of actual violence and (denied) property crime ("they gave me this stuff"). I can readily identify the woman from the world of chess that he mouths off about occasionally, just glad he wasn't sufficiently riled by her to do what seems to come naturally to him, apart from spouting bile.
