No one, not even shaviximer types faster than I can! I figure I go about 477 clicks per minute.
When 'right index' bounds onto the keyboard it's roughly equivalent
to a buffed 20-30 year old getting into the octagon ring. Speaking
of which, the accomplished Brit (Bisbing) is one of my favorites.

I'd let everyone choose their own seats. I'd want to be able to participate in all of the conversations or listen to all of them, so I like someone else's idea of a round table. But I'd really be tempted to have my brother on one side and Peter Jennings on the other. Don't tell my sister!
'2008 Dinner Party'
Let's assume you've been given the opportunity of hosting the world
class dinner party of all dinner parties on New Year's Eve, 2008.
You alone have full responsibility for assembling the much anticipated
All Time Guest A-List. You have free rein... contemporaries, historical
figures, fictional characters, mythological heroe ...[text shortened]... ce of honor to your right?
(4) Menu to be served?

I'm not a vegetarian but I'd have someone make some vegetarian stuff for those who wish, but I'd also have a nice tender pot roast, mashed potatoes, corn, enchiladas (as long as I'm not cooking them), buttermilk biscuits, and a choice of pies for desert (probably pecan and berry but maybe apple too).
Edit -- just saw someone's note about the Cape -- reminding me to invite my Uncle Bob as well.
I think it would be great to have a dinner party, and invite many of the great GMs who are now deceased.
I would serve surf N turf, and have an open bar. A mini blitz tourney would follow.
The guest list would be:
Wilhelm Steinitz
Paul Morphy
Emanuel Lasker
Alexander Alekhine
Jose Raul Capablanca
Mikhail Tal
Robert James Fischer
