    You haven't officially been to S. America until you get robbed at gun/knife point.

    In my case it was broken glass point and he didn't get anything but still... stamp on the passport and enjoy the rest of your stay.

    28 years ago in fact. Since he was playing Garry Kasparov in a match at the time, he probably considered the mugging on Tower Bridge as a bit of light relief.

    nah, rhp gameviewer just doesn't deal with linebreaks normally, never has. it's always a simple operation of deleting linebreaks from the pgn.
