Happy Birthday To:Aaron Summerscale, Alexander Cherniaev, Michael A Rohde, Jonathan D Tisdall Quotes Of The Day (from Kelly Atkins)
"In the latter part of 1996 I was sitting in a hotel room on the island of Menorca, staring at Eric Schiller bashing away at his chess database (which kept crashing). He had just told me how he once wrote a chess book in two days. Appalled, I was playing with the idea of tossing him out the window or, at the very least, having Benko rough him up a bit." Jeremy Silman
"Welcome to "Weirdsville" - Population: one, Alexander "Weird Al" Morozevich!" John Henderson
