    I find myself unable to disagree. You've stunted my intellectual development.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think Kirksey had most of the good chess playing Christians in his clan, but they seem to have been the same guy. Or perhaps, they were different aspects of his Divine Chess Playing Personage.
