Mar-05-04  InspiredByMorphy: I wouldn't want to play a game of chess with a 2464 rated player named Maze. :)
Mar-05-04  Taidanii: The name "maze" is certainly intimidating in games like Chess.
Mar-18-05  Orbitkind: lol InspiredByMorphy.
Mar-18-05  PivotalAnorak: MAZE is a French IM, I believe his Christian name is "Sébastien" (the French way), and not "Sebastian", or am I mistaken ? Also, his name is not "Maze" but "Mazé". Sorry, this ruins all kinds of puns...
