Finally some terms to distinguish chess960 aka FRC aka 9LX from just any variant like crazyhouse or whatever!Nic Bentulanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790266733020794225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011690536420808420.post-39571085990299944362011-02-08T07:02:25.637+01:002011-02-08T07:02:25.637+01:00Evidently Fischer is supportive of some form of am...Evidently Fischer is supportive of some form of amendment of chess, not only FRC. I have made several attempts at "improvements" of standard chess. At least, they are suitable for training purposes. Please have a look here, on "My variants."<br /><a href="http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/chessvar.htm" rel="nofollow">Chess variants</a><br /><br />MatsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346352087304102220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011690536420808420.post-49337907045192031432011-01-24T04:16:52.426+01:002011-01-24T04:16:52.426+01:00Thanks for those video transcriptions and links.

I have read through them and watched them as well. <br /><br />I'm stunned at how together Bobby is after that ordeal combined with his health issues. I'd heard the radio interviews with him after 9/11 and thought that those extravagant claims were a sign of complete failure of mind.<br /><br />But I now realize that he had a very turbulent mind, and that turbulence will exhibit extreme views from time to time. But when his mind was calm, he was a total inspiration both on and off the board warts and all.<br /><br />For that matter so is Palsson and all the others that were involved in getting him out!<br /><br />Cheers<br />HarryHarryOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971894954907592580noreply@blogger.com
