Thanks for you comments, but those posts were intented to be provocative. Chess
Clubs are not a warm places for oversensitive people, it has to maintain some
interest with provocative articles, insights or different opinions. That are the
sauce of a succeded group. Credibility is good when you sells cars,and I have
seen most lost of credibilty than gains in this group. So why worry?
Best wishes
