I couldn't agree more.. Whenever I read a posting from Chris which was
chess-related, I thought to myself 'hey, this guy really thinks, has great
ideas,
doesn't just follow the big herd like a sheep'.

I'm not saying that Chris is right everywhere (still talking about chess-related
stuff only) but most of the time he writes stuff which makes you think, inspires
you with new ideas.

Most of the time I could see from the subject line alone that it must be
yet-another
flame-war or similar, and if I was wrong, I simply clicked 'Back' on my browser.
Too bad that not all people did that.

Yes I think it's a loss that he no longer posts here. You don't have to agree,
afterall
it's just my opinion. If you want to flame me, please use email. ;)

Kind regards,

PS. His article about 'statistics' is another good reason to stop this
Diep-Tiger
   "contest".
