I was half way across the Atlantic when news came of your breakout from hospital. >i was thinking of holding another of my "Trivia Pursuit" quizzes with the first >person to answer 3 questions correctly to receive the Robot > >the questions will not be easy and the answers not readily available on the net > >an example.. >"level 4 on the TSB IV La Regence is what time control? That one is easy. 2 minutes per move. And I claim my prize. I grant you this one would be difficult unless you had a manual :) >your thoughts? >i am open to suggestions.. I am formulating an offer for the Novag Robot Adversary. The only thing holding me back is concern for wear on the 0 key of my computer. You know you are gaining a reputation alongside wunderfee69 for teasing other collectors. Oh yes it is back again! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40855&item=5947054202&rd=1 Steve it is time to let go. By my calculation a non-working Novag Robot Adversary with no lid, and only pieces and adaptor, in USA, would at auction fetch exactly x% of the German one recently sold on Ebay. This would be a fair price, wouldn't it? Question 1 in my New Year Trivia Quiz is - What is x%? Well it is good to have you back from the Crypt. Perhaps not the only Resurrection we will be hearing about ;) All the best Mike
