Hello Slater,

Download the full text of the patent and read all of the acknowledgements that
I gave to Capablanca.

The patent is valid. It was presented by Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius, the 4th
largest law firm in the United States, by a patent agent who was a decent chess
player and someone well versed in the patent process. It was transferred to
Drinker, Biddle, & Reath, the 2nd largest firm in Philadelphia, to handle for
review for International Patenting.

Tomorrow under Section 413 of 42 U.S.C., I will fart in your general direction
and hope it smells bad.

No.

People do enjoy Gothic Chess. It is flourishing. What threats?

>#3. Turn your message logger off.

No.

>#4. Fire your lawyer.

No.

>#5. Call your lawyer back, and fire him again.

No.

Anything else?
