Also, you probably did not see a fresh insulter (not Djordje, a complete gentleman) appear. In - http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?464300 Djordje challenged me (out of the blue! quite a surprise, this was in no way suggested by me) to a "ten game blitz match". The reason being that while he knew I "can surely talk the talk, but" he wanted to make certain that I could also "walk the walk" (his quotes). He should have known that this was better for email. But as to post an email address here seems to trigger receipt first an unsolicited and probably malicious program or programs and later a stream of abusive pseudonymous email, I have abandoned it. So had Djordje issued his challenge etc. by email I would not have seen it. I had difficulties connecting and unfortunately my lag (I select from some proxies somewhere else) was poor. However after one game, I think Djordje lost interest in the need for a "ten game" match. He was either much too strong for me or found something better to do or .. you decide. For the avoidance of doubt, Djordje lost the game on time about move 30. At the time the flag fell, he was N + P behind and .. it doesn't matter. I did find a faster proxy, reducing lag to a level when we could have played 1 0, which is as much as a geriatric like mecan manage (0 1 is too fast if I trip up near the start). I know it is ironic that I warned the very helpful and excellent Graham in advance that for me to post a game here would not be wise. :) Best, A.S.
