Yeah, but just remember, when you 'buy in', too having one of the Kamsky's, you are basically getting both for the price of one. And though we can hope (maybe pray), that Gata (who is basically a nice lad - I played him one, when his father wasn't around, he crushed me, but was polite about it), That is not likely to change any time soon, Just like with Bill & Hillary:). And so I still think (and will go on thinking), that chess is better off without this fellows great chess play. There will always be other prodogies down the line, hopefully without these detriments, and if there aren't - So what? Chess is a very rich game, with plenty of other great players. In fact, one of the best representives of our wonderful game, and greatest gentleman, is Yasser Seirawan. A wonderful, strong, and beautiful, mature human being! mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict! On January 18, 1999 at 14:32:45, KarinsDad wrote: >On January 18, 1999 at 14:01:49, Lawrence S.
