    Maybe she'll write us a poem explaining it all. Either way I won't get it.

    You might as well heorise that he has been sacrificing karma points to buy the victory for the All Blacks tomorrow.

    I'm not really from Iceland, but I do live there so adopted the flag for the purposes of RHP. I had the French flag last year for the same reason, I'm not very nationalistic 🙂

    I see, actually my picture is of a large expanse of what appears to be a loch leading to
    the sea, in order for the ice to float out in the freedom of the ocean through the
    narrow channel, it must make itself smaller. The idea of course is cultivating humility.
    I loved it, its about say three metres long and one metre high and takes up almost the
    whole of the kitchen wall. Have you perchance visited Fischers grave?

    Nope, haven't found his grave, but the Chess Table used in the famous Reykjavik match is on display at the City Museum, along with an explanation of the awesomeness of the encounter

    Game 8731331 is finished. A draw.

    By my reckoning White lost 14 pts and Skeets gained 5 pts.

    She is on her way back - watch this space.

    I just finished reading the book, Bobby Fischer goes to war, a detailed account of the
    characters and the effect that this chess match had on people elsewhere. Are the
    chairs there? they were dissected and x rayed at the time because the Russkies thought
    that Fischer might be hiding some instrument or other to give him an advantage or to
    have a negative effect on Spassky. I gotta visit Iceland.

    CP:It reminds me of the fable about Icorice. He made wings of wax, flew so close to the sun, the sun melted the wings.

    morgski: I think you meant Icarus.

    CP: It's MY fable, and I'll name the characters, thank you
