I wasn't actually holding it under wraps - it was more like a redisovery of
something that was long gone - at least in my mind.  I guess the best analogy
for you might be disovering an old chess computer under you bed - one that you
believed had  mysteriously disappeared a long time ago.

Always, a good reason why the husband should make the bed on the weekends. At
least that is what my wife tells me   ;>)

Correct - my ten year contract with ICD expired Thursday.  I might miss the
money but the freedom feels great.

Roman used to come to the World Open every year when it was in Philadelphia.
Perhaps he still does ,but I have not attended in over ten years myself.  I met
him there - talked to him a bit , in fact I have his autograph on the 1993 World
Open Program.  I doubt that he would remember me.  The amazing thing about Roman
is that he always seemed to have very good looking woman hanging around.  If you
ever met Roman you would know why I said it was amazing.  but perhaps the PCA
tour has it own set of groupies that followed chess players around.

Too me, he always looked like a heavy Alice Cooper - you make the call

For tho  who don't who Alice Cooper is - he was a rock star noted for his heavy
mascara look and making millions by penning  such musical classics (cough) as
"School's Out"

School's Out
by Alice Cooper

Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin all that noise
Cause they found new toys

Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
[Cooper:]
That's a drag

School's out for the summer
School's out forever
I'm bored to pieces

Well we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no intelligence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

[Cooper:]
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

[CHORUS]

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's
Dirty looks
Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not come
Back at all

School's out for summer (detention!)
School's out forever
School's out with fever
School's out completely
School's out for summer


Beethoven Regards,

Michael
