 | | ray keene: Haven't spoken to him personally...yes I had a very good meeting a couple of days ago with Ilya Merenzon who is running the world championship. You can get my general updates on @times_chess on Twitter! Btw my pupil Shreyas Royal, whom I have been coaching along with Julian Simpole, has been invited to make the ceremonial first move in the match! |

 | | MissScarlett: Good to hear you may have some input into the big match - to my mind, a world championship in London wouldn't be the same without you! If need be, I'll dig you up for the next one.... Less pleased to hear about <Shreyas Royal> - frankly, I was hoping he'd be deported. No-one else on the British chess scene would say that - but I'm not like anyone else. I'll get back to you on the Staunton question. I need to give it some more attention. |

| | ray keene: An original take on the nine year old....we shd meet during the match! |

| | MissScarlett: <Ray>, your critics - yes, there's been a few - are upset at your name having been appended to a caption on the fabled chess board at Simpson's: http://www.kingpinchess.net/2010/09... How and when did this come about? Do you know when the caption originally dates to? |

| | Diademas: Well, Staunton did have some success with the chessmen bearing his name. GM Keene might find a niche into immortality by promoting this merry band of misfits. |

| | MissScarlett: Perfunctory, impersonal....badly done! If the idea is to sell more books, write new books, better books. |

| | ray keene: <MissScarlett> no actually the main point was to create an archival record . It also links to my Twitter site where my up to date thoughts can be found. In fact I am working on a new book to cover the Carlsen v Caruana world championship at the invitation of Everyman Chess Publishing. Cheers! <The Focus> Thanks for your compliment! |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Ray,
A wee bit disappointed the site will not be doing a weekly or fortnightly take on chess things or making any comments at all. I do not have a twitter account and if I was seen buying a copy of the Times in my neighbourhood I'd get slaughtered. OK. Time to put you on the spot.
Carlsen v Caruana, who will win and go for a score. (just think of kudos you can sneak into the introduction of the Everyman book if you get it exactly right.) My prediction...who cares what I think?....but Carlsen will win and it will all be over before Christmas. |
|
| Sep-24-18 | | Parachessus: Nice site, Ray! How about having a "Sargeant Pepper" album cover style collage in the background, with photos of all the chess greats and near-greats behind you? Also, you need to place a king to your right to create a formal balance. |

| | ray keene: <Sally Simpson> Carlsen to win 6.5 to 4.5
That's my prediction |
|
| Oct-12-18 | | john barleycorn: <ray keene: <Sally Simpson> Carlsen to win 6.5 to 4.5 That's my prediction> count me in on that one. where to place my bet? |
|

| | MissScarlett: <Ray>, I haven't been able to get any tickets for the cheap seats. Any chance of smuggling me in, past security? |

| | Sally Simpson: Thanks Ray,
You were very close with your 'Contenders for the Crown' written in 1994. Anand and Kramnik made it, Gelfand and Shirov got within touching distance. A wee bit out on the strength of computers. You predicted another decade before a computer would beat a world champion. In 1994 I would have said even later than that.
Good luck with the book and I too like the prediction. Looking forward to the match and hope to attend at least two of the games. |

Overall record: +1017 -147 =467 (76.7%) |
|
| Nov-07-18 | | Caissanist: GM Keene--any remembrances you have of the late Eric Schiller would be quite welcome. |
