Quote from article:

"Chess has a bit of a stuffy image and one of the things we are trying to do is make chess cool and show that playing chess is fun."

Hopefully calling a chess site 'Red Hot Pawn' has gone a little way to removing the stuffy problem...🙂 Anyway, I don't know about celebs, but someone in the British Government plays here (or did play here) - because their secretary accidentally emailed me with a load of stuff that wasn’t quite good enough to go running to the papers with... just something about fabricating intelligence about WMD or something. (Ok, I made up the last bit, but the rest is true)

Nope! Anyone from "Desolate Plains" is supposed to be widely known unfavorably. Otherwise you would be from "Plentiful Springs"... and/or "Beautiful Garden" ... where everyone "abides by the grace of goodness" each and every moment! Gag! 😀

Swamps are harder to judge. Possum and gang live by differn't standards than the rest of us. Weisel and Pogo are the judge and jury on about every issue... including fame and infamy!

If I had a vote though, as is want for mountain dwelling valley guys to aspire... I would say, "Yea! This Phlabibit has within it... greatness...or swamp things... or -- something! Let it be known about the bog that this dude is no pollywog! So be it. Thus sayith the masses of mosses."

Thanx... I think! From the friend of Snapper and Spider alike.

Only humans judge me... and I am my own jury.
