Monkey's Bum of the Modern Defense

Love the quote...and the Robert Johnson photo!

"... the best game in town." "on 01 Oct '14 05:04" Thread 161123 "At his home late one Friday evening after our games were finished, I said to him: "Chess is the greatest game. Luck isn't involved and the games are never quite the same." E.M. smiled as he quietly said: "Not quite, Bobby. It's the second best. The talking game is the best game in town."

"You need not play well, just help your opponent to play badly." -Genrikh Chepukaitis.
