Paint My Dragon: Good call <Tamar> ... I'm particularly fond of Skopelos. I take it you're offering to fund it? :-)

Paint My Dragon: Bardot was the classic goddess for sure. This one has the slightly aloof, remote gaze going on ... < http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/09/hap... > Looking back at her images, what occurs to me is that she totally rocks every hairstyle they threw at her. And I've never seen ...

Paint My Dragon: Indeed. Nigel explained this one today on the live Candidates broadcast. He needed the bathroom urgently. The nearest inexplicably involved walking the length of a gigantic tournament hall and along numerous corridors of a large hotel. He was in some time trouble and every ...

Paint My Dragon: Ray - not sure if you still have influence at Hardinge-Simpole, but I wondered if "A Century Of British Chess" by PW Sergeant (1934) would be a book worthy of being reprinted. It is commonly thought to be his best work (I believe Harry thought so too) and I have been trying ...

Paint My Dragon: Hello Chessgames.com - If someone can correct it ... this game is NOT related to the olympiad (see title line, top left), but PROBABLY IS round 2 of the Anglo-Dutch match, as shown under 'Event' top right. Keene played Langeweg at the 1968 Lugano Olympiad ENG-NED encounter.

Paint My Dragon: Well done Lukey. Terrific results for an amateur! It must really p*ss them off that you don't really need the invites, the rating points, or the prize money. Just knocking them down for the fun of playing the game. And all blistering middlegame attacks ... oh, right, you ...

Paint My Dragon: Think of it as a game between Kasparov's two adopted children - both armed with Dad's prep, I'd predict a draw :)

Paint My Dragon: Close, but no second 'e'.
Difficult to imagine why the real 'Spess' would need a privacy injunction. To protect his 1978 analysis of a line in the Caro-Kann perhaps? Or maybe to prevent the Daily Mirror from discovering the extent and whereabouts of his fisherman's jumper ...
