May i see it, in order not to irritate kibitzers in future?> It's been banned only in my fantasy. The fact is that cliche will be around long after I am dead and gone. But as long as you're listening, please never describe grabbing a pawn as "greedy," since the concept of greed has no meaning in chess. |

| Petrosianic: <But as long as you're listening, please never describe grabbing a pawn as "greedy," since the concept of greed has no meaning in chess.> Forget greed, what about the passed pawn's "lust" to expand? We can keep that one, can't we? |

Forget greed, what about the passed pawn's "lust" to ex/pand? We can keep that one, can't we?> Deeply offensive to my Victorian sensibilities, of course, but it's just too expressive to give up. |
