  Sneaky: At first I thought this was a magazine that took up playing chess! No, "Lawyer Times" is one of the strongest black chess masters from the USA.
Feb-16-03  judokausa1: Accourding to the most recent rating report for him he is 2185. He was a master in the late 90's though.
May-26-05  soberknight: <TheAlchemist> This should be the official newspaper of your all-pun chess club.
May-26-05  soberknight: Or the official attorney. He's the only player named "Lawyer."
May-26-05  RookFile: Well, he more typically plays
in Blitz events at the Boylston
Chess club. Strong player.

  TheAlchemist: <soberknight> Thanks. You really should be a private eye :). Btw, have you seen the Moscow page? Do you have any original ideas?
May-26-05  pubs r us: I'm surprised there aren't any games in his collection with Legal's Mate.
May-26-05  hintza: Well, that one was most definitely unavoidable.

  TheAlchemist: <pubs r us> Lol. He fights against illegal movs.
May-26-05  Backward Development: haha, Legall's mate.
He's probably a tactical player, everyone knows not to trust sneaky lawyers. ;-)

  WannaBe: Interesting, my prev. post was all caps, suppose to be funny, it's all lower case now. I wonder who would have done that?! 8-)
Apr-15-06  Jim Bartle: Oh, damn you all! I saw his name at the Foxwoods Open and thought I'd be the first to reveal it here.

I'm going to call an attorney.

Apr-15-06  Jim Bartle: Robert Cray:

You can give me an hour alone in a bank
Pay all my tickets, wipe the slate blank
You could buy me a car, fill up the tank
Tell me a boat full of lawyers just sank

But it ain't nothin' but a woman Nothin' but a woman, no, no
Don't need nothin' but a woman

Aug-10-09  WhiteRook48: can't beat the lawyer
Aug-10-09  Dredge Rivers: Susan Polgar's favorite player!

  OhioChessFan: What happens when you give Viagra to a lawyer?

  OhioChessFan: The local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. A local volunteer called to solicit his donation, saying "our research shows that even though your annual income is over a $1-million, you do not give one penny to charity! Wouldn't you like to give back to your community through The United Way?"

The lawyer thinks for a moment and says: "First, did your research show that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and has huge medical bills far beyond her ability to pay?"

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, "Uh, no."

"Secondly, that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?"

The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology but is cut off.

"Thirdly, that my sister's husband died in a dreadful traffic accident", the lawyers voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children?"

The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says simply, "I had no idea."

The lawyer then says"...and if I don't give any money to THEM, why should I give any to you?"
