Fascinating, Rene. Please tell us more.





P.S. Nearest equivalent experience was with Russian Master E.M.

Reubens during the glorious decade of my twenties in Boston.

That's how most great players got their start, right? Learned from the best?

What/where is HBU? Also would be very interested in learning of your advanced biblical language studies.



Edit: Maybe a personal message or two (to keep the thread clean).

I've thought about it, but most chess players have bad hygiene, their feet is a very smelly place to be.

I played OTB in an Amsterdam pub with a Ukranian guy, formed under the wing of the Soviet chess school.

He kicked my behind several times, I paid for his drinks. Win win situation.
