How did friend of Billy Graham (FOBG) "work it >out"? Has FOBG put his work into the public domain? When did FOBG carry out this >"divine" piece of work? FOBG had been working on this for several years. I think he is about to issue this work on 256 CD's you can read more about it at http:\\www.sillyme.com >Why do GMs who play black continue to lose? Why don't >they just sit and "work it out" like good old FOBG did? Its psycological the GM's think black stands worse and therefore they defend with black. If they knew as FOBG that black stands better they would attack and get better results. >Is FOBG God? No, but he is close enough >Who has verified the work of FOBG?
