| ughaibu: Brits also use "cheers" to mean thank you, one would need to review the context of the e-mail sent to MaxxLange in order to pronounce definitively on the usage in question. |

| Archives: Over here, "Cheers" is used as a substitute for "thanks" alot (actually I reckon that "cheers" is more commonly used than "thanks") |

| Karpova: Does anyone know where to find Nigel Short's obituary of Tony Miles?
Must have been in the Sunday Telegraph but the link doesn't work and google search didn't help me (just found someone else claiming he couldn't find the obituary). |

| Open Defence: <Karpova> the best I could find was http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/mai... its not the obituary but its the only thing remotely close that contains direct references and is written by Nigel.. I dont know if the Telegraph has taken off the old pages or if the links are merely dead.. |

| Karpova: <Open Defence>
Thanks! They really seem to have deleted it though even older pages and another obituary are still available. |

| Karpova: <I know an Englishman,
Being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.
(George Chapman c. 1559-1634, British dramatist, poet, translator. repr. In Plays and Poems of George Chapman: The Tragedies, ed. Thomas Marc Parrott (1910). Archbishop of Cologne, in Alphonsus, Emperor of Germany, act 1, sc. 2, l. 208-9 (1654). on the proposal to make Richard, Earl of Cornwall, Holy Roman Emperor. The ascription of the play to Chapman has been questioned.)>

| mcgee: >>Miles was the first English GM.<<
The first English-born player to be awarded the title for over-the-board play. Jacques Mieses obtained the title as a naturalised Briton and I think both Keith Richardson and Comins Mansfield got the title for correspondence play and problem composition respectively before Miles. |

| mcgee: >>GM Miles was a great and colourful British GM. He will be rembered for many things particularily his great win against Karpov.<< Which one? :) he beat Karpov in the 1983 BBC Master Game Final as well |

| ray keene: <hackmate> i achieved the first british gm norm at nice 1974, i was awarded the title at the same fide congress as tony , namely haifa 1976, and after tonys death i remain britains first -living-grandmaster. however after my result at nice and before my conclusive gm norm at the haifa olympiad itself , tony made two norms-so he was definitely the first british gm -meanwhile -welcome back to chess and this very fine site!! |
