The latest Private Eye (British satire mag) has a piece on
Raymond Keene who has been caught (apparently) lifting other
people words again.
Last time this happened his publisher had to pay $3,000 compensation.
This time he (apparently) nicked the words of Edward Winter.
They state he [R.K.] bears an unccany resemblance to Batman's arch-enemy.
The Penguin
I will of course will pilch the entire article and drop it on The Corner tonight.
(just noticed left e out of Keene - cannot correct it )

Keene wrote much of the official tournament book for the 2000 WCC, as well as many other WCCs.

Keene was once a pretty keen chess player and even wrote one good book back in the day. His descent into plagiarism seems like an unnecessary tragedy. Plagiarizing Edward Winter is just stupid, however. Winter and hundreds (or even thousands) of his readers always check sources and they remember what they read. Keene should have known that he wouldn't get away with it.

Originally posted by greenpawn34A few years back Raymondo featured very regularly in the pages of Private Eye, who showed their complete lack of respect for England's greatest ever chess plagiarist (surely 'impressario'? Ed.) by calling him 'The Penguin'. It should be noted that many of the allegations against Raymondo were a lot more serious than mere plagiarising (to which he could hardly plead 'not guilty' with a straight face).

Did'nt the Eye cover a story about some mysterious share selling in a company called "Brain games"? involving Mr Keene.I am of course going back a good few years now, as I remember it it involved potential sponsers of a Chess championship match...or something like that.

Hope to post later tonight, in about 1 hour. Will add link to your site.
I'm not a Ray Keene basher, he has never done me any harm.
Anytime chess is in the news I usually use and have some fun with it.
