Let's face it Steve you have to give me power of attorney over your chess
computer collection, or your good woman is going to ruin the front lawn. I was
half way across the Atlantic when news came of your breakout from hospital.

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 :)

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!

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
