An interesting dedication to Steve Smith; I recognize Alexander Fishbein as one of his opponents on the above posted page.

Oct-28-05  Averageguy: Apparantly Will Smith enjoys chess.
Oct-28-05  hintza: I hope he plays better than he raps.
Nov-24-05  Udit Narayan: "Fresh Prince of Bel Aire"...
Nov-24-05  cade: This guy is from killer7 right?
Nov-24-05  Pawsome: <offramp> What a rebuke! Smith must have smarted long after. Wasn't it Chesterton who, when asked about the failure of the French Revolution, observed that the thing about revolutions is they tend to revolve?
Nov-18-06  crptone: <Fresh Prince of Bel-Air>

Please have a seat, for I wish to take a moment to relate to you the fascinating odyssey which ultimately led to my reign as the Prince of Bel-Air. I was sired and reared in West Philadelphia. As a lad, most of my time was spent at the neighborhood recreation center where I would laze about and relax in a most charming manner - that is, when I was not engaging my chums in a friendly game of basketball at the schoolhouse. Around this time, two young hooligans had begun to stage a campaign of vandalism and intimidation in my neighborhood. When my mother discovered I had had a bit of an altercation with the ruffians, she insisted I leave town at once and take up lodgings with my aunt and uncle in Bel-Air. As the taxi approached, heeding my beckoning whistle, I could discern the word "FRESH" emblazoned upon its license plate, and took particular note of the pair of plush novelty dice which hung from the rear-view mirror. I was a bit taken aback by these strange omens, but quickly put them out of my mind as I cheerfully called to the driver: "To Bel-Air, my good man!" We arrived safely in Bel-Air at dusk, and as the driver came to a stop in front of the house where I was to live, I left him with the words: "Farewell, sir. Perhaps my nostrils shall delight in your aroma once more!" To be sure, it was a long journey, and as I gazed upon my estate in all its splendor, I knew once and for all that my rightful place was on the throne - as the young scion of the great and mighty kingdom of Bel-Air!

  Benzol: You'll be able to recognise him by his companion. He's the "Bubble-Headed Booby".
Mar-10-07  vonKrolock: <Benzol>:He's companion AND chess friend - already in the third episode, Smith tries to cheat playing an illegal move in a (presumably) lost position, but of course the 'useless sardine's can' denounce the trick in the presence of kibitzer Will Robinson... <"Dr. Smith was involved in the artificial intelligence programming for the Jupiter 2's Series M-3, Model B-9 robot.">

Aug-03-09  theagenbiteofinwit: < I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.>

  perfidious: Time to have a go at thinning the ranks of the pageless Smittys!

With a count of 65, I've submitted roughly a dozen correction slips today. (1924, 1962, 1994 and 2006, plus the Shulman 2005 game)

Here goes nuthin'!
