I agree that not everything that Bobby Fisher might possibly say is of
great interest. But not knowing what it was, I was very interested in
seeing (or hearing). Therefore I was a bit naggy. But now I read about a
seperate forum, that should be exciting. But I hope it does not prove
too difficult to moderate. The topics will be much wider than here!
Also, a great person who acts not so great, does not need to be respected for
it.
Thanks! S.Taylor
