| Aug-21-05 | | sitzkrieg: I highly recommend his book STAR Chess. Nice chessgames, nice comments and ideas, and some original puzzles and jokes make a good book for the not too serious chessplayer. |

 | | wordfunph: GM Jonathan Rowson once asked GM Paul Motwani, "If you were a chess piece, which would you be?" Paul replied that he'd be a knight because it can get everywhere albeit slowly. Happy Birthday GM Paul Motwani!!! |

| | wordfunph: "A wise player does not move his king into a corner without good reason, because apart from one precious tempo being spent, the king may well be required later near the middle of the
board to play a central role in the struggle."
- GM Paul Motwani
happy birthday Paul! |

 | | fm avari viraf: He is a very good gentleman GM. I met him a couple of times during my participation in the International Chess Tournaments at Hastings. I won a Prize [a chess book by Motwani] in the International Blitz Chess Tournament at Hastings, U.K.
<ConLaMismaMano> His last name Motwani comes from the Indian origin. |

| | wordfunph: "Do you remember your first-ever game of chess? In my case, I still enjoy thinking back to 1973, when, as an 11-year-old schoolboy, I faced a classmate named Ann Fraser. After
1.e4 d6, she played 2.Bb5+ and announced 'Checkmate'! I was stunned and asked for an explanation, to which she replied, 'It's check and your king can't move.'" - GM Paul Motwani (from his book H.O.T. Chess) |

I was stunned and asked for an explanation, to which she replied, 'It's check and your king can't move.'"> There was a teenage girl in Santa Cruz who occasionally liked to challenge into blitz rotations at a local café, in spite of her vast inexperience. On one memorable occasion, she sat down across from a B-player and played about thirty moves. Then, capturing a pawn in directly front of his king with her bishop, she grandly proclaimed "Check and *mate*!" and stalked triumphantly from the room before anyone could explain that her opponent wasn't in check. |
