I knew the background and have observed many games myself between Roman and Scrappy. And naturally in that situation it is neither blitz or tournament. But the comments would come typically after a blitz game. >The exact phrase above means something more.

I actually don't track such trivia, instead limiting myself to thoughts like; Why is it when someone eats something that tastes bad they say "Aw, this tastes gross!" and turn to you and say "Try it!" If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips? If it's Zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? Sarah. > >Thanks for the discovery.
