Dec-10-05		ray keene: typo-40kh1 was played not 40 ra1

Dec-10-05		DAL9000: That's some typo. If you'll forgive me for asking a personal question, what was Cuba like in '74? For that matter, /were/ you able to form any kind of impression of the country, or did somebody from the Cuban equivalent of Intourist instantly appear at your side whenever you left the hotel?

Dec-10-05		IMlday: One great result of Ray's Cuban adventure was that he annotated all his Rats for Chess Canada (with an intro from Orwell's 1984!)

Aug-27-06		ray keene: <dal9000> sorry i totally missed your question-we were under no illusions as to the type of regime we were visiting but we had been there before in 1966 for the olympiad-we were very used to communist regimes and their restrictions because thats where the best chess was played!

Oct-24-06		mack: <ray> / <imlday> Was the 1984 intro the bit from Room 101, when he betrays Julia? Or was it another ratty bit? I would dearly love to see that Cuban adventure article!

Oct-25-06		ray keene: <mack> lawrence sent me a copy and i am sure he cd do the same for you-i quoted the bit about the rats boring into the cheek and starting with the eyes etc i read 1984 when i was 11 a couple of years before i read animal farm. in my view orwell has the perfect modern english style.

Oct-25-06		mack: Aye, Orwell was fab, wasn't he. Whenever I'm annotating games or just writing about chess I try to include as many literary references as possible, quite often from John Ruskin.
