Cher probably gets her wins by distraction, wearing a see-through top. 😵

I remember reading Isaac Asimov saying he was too impulsive to be very good at chess. He would see what he thought was a good move, and make it, rather than thinking longer about whether there was a better move.

I have seen the moves in a Ray Charles vs. Larry Evans game. Remember, RC was blind!

Evans evened it out, he turned the lights off. 😕

Oh! That is just in Scotland. I would bet that robbie carrobie was the deciding vote. Oh no, that can't be for he is a Jehovah's Witness, they are not allowed to vote.
