Chessiswar, please Google 'Emil Reubens/chess player'
Then click on the very top of the page... 'BCC Weblog: Reubens Landey U2200 BCC Championship'
Please read the two articles.
E.M. Reubens, Ben Landey, Kermit Pransky, Edmund Brown and Tigran Schaak were the accomplished chess players I lost the 1,000 games to.
Maybe you're accusto ...[text shortened]... joy the articles. By the way, played frequently with them at Walpole Prison.

I can already feel my anus becoming impacted. What's with the lofty price tag these days? A price of increase of 100% in, what, three years seems a bit grabby to me.
Russ, are you in financial trouble?
Gambling debts, perhaps?
Did you piss all those old fees away on chips and lager?
Are you a financing a wedding similar to this one:

I would solely ask more combinations regarding the chessmen/ chessboard oprions, plus an option for a bigger chessboard😵

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI did; usually I have no problem, but sometimes when I am tired I really need a bigger board.
Wondering if you've tried the settings option for Board Size "Large".
Anyway it's ok, for I see it as a part of a training program a la Bottvinnik: the Russian used to state that the chessplayer has to overcome all the agents that may distract his attention from the game (sickness, momentary lack of concentration, worries etc). And in order to overcome these conditions, which BTW are offering the perfect excuse for a lost game, he used to hear when he was training a tape with differ noises (traffic, aircrafts, people shouting, shootings etc). Also he could not afford the smokers, and in order to overcome it he asked from a notorious smoker, Ragozin, who was his second too, to exhale his smoke straight to his face whilst they were playing training games together😵
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyHm, now that I 'm thinking about it again, it seems to me that I 'm addicted big time with CT ART 3.0's interface -the chessboard and the chessmen of that program are bigger, and also I like the layout by far more than the RHP options.
Wondering if you've tried the settings option for Board Size "Large".
Very thanx Bobby pal for helping me understand better myself in full😵
