That's DanVM.

One of those who have not given their location correctly? Or possibly someone like me who has been known to play chess online when doing field work in odd places.

There's always guys living in the North Sea as well

There are research stations down

I've changed my flag to Antarctica to keep him company.

It's cold here.

This reminds me of a story I read in The World of Chess by Saidy and Lessing:

"Because of the length of time it takes to complete a game, some sceptics have observed that you don't have to be crazy to play correspondence chess, but it helps. The tale is told of two chess-players, one living near the North Pole and the other near the South Pole, who were carrying on a game by mail. Every four months for ten years, the North Pole player received a letter containing his opponent's move, pondered his counter-move, and replied. Suddenly, unaccountably, there was a break in the correspondence. No word from the South Pole. A month went by. Two, and still no letter. The game had reached a crucial stage and North, who was playing Black against a Ruy Lopez opening and finding himself attacked on the king-side, was frantic with anxiety. Then, in a swirling Arctic storm, a dog sled arrived with the long delayed letter. Eagerly, North tore open the envelope. The message said: J'adoube."

What does J'adoube mean?
