 | | Dionysius1: GM Ray Keene is retiring from his Times column at the end of November too. |
|
Nov-04-19
 | | MissScarlett: <Ray>, you need to come back to us....whatever's passed has passed...it can't end like this...time may be short...don't die on us... |
|

| | Dionysius1: Possibly GM Ray Keene's autobiography on retirement could be called "Keen on Chess", recognition of both his lifelong interest and of his way with misspellings? |
|
Nov-30-19
| | Dionysius1: And as GM Ray Keene hangs up his quill at The London Times, I for one am wishing him a long and happy retirement. Thanks, GM, for wearing the learning lightly so we could follow the flow of the games you analysed and we could remember that chess is human and not always mathematics. Go well! |

 | | HeMateMe: Congratulations on a looong run of chess writing, promo activities, and many fine games played, for the chess record. [The photo of you jogging with Viktor korchnoi is all time classic! What a serious match Second will do to get his guy ready!] <https://www.bing.com/images/search?...> Ray was <moderately> buff in this photo. Let's be generous... |

 | | Count Wedgemore: <Dionysius1: Possibly GM Ray Keene's autobiography on retirement could be called "Keen on Chess", recognition of both his lifelong interest and of his way with misspellings?> And the book after that can be called "Next of Keene". |

| | Fusilli: Didn't GM Keene run for FIDE president once? Was that against Campomanes? |
|
Dec-02-19
 | | Tabanus: <Fusilli> It's Michael Francis Stean. Here's one from the Korchnoi - Polugaevsky Candidates Semifinal (1977) : http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q7YU0ttZb... |

| Dec-02-19 | | Olavi: <Fusilli: Didn't GM Keene run for FIDE president once? Was that against Campomanes?> In 1986 Lincoln Lucena challenged Campo, with Keene as the General Secretary candidate. |

| | HeMateMe: I gobble up every chess auto bio the NYC public library system gets. Unfortunately we never got the gligoric book "I play against pieces" or <breaking through> by the Polgar sisters. A ray Keene auto bio would be a welcome addition to our shelves. What next for raymond Keene? Well, shouldn't Parliament have at least one decent chess player in it's ranks? Dare I say RK MP? Make it so! |

 | | ray keene: Thanks for all the nice comments. My columns now appear each month in The British Chess Magazine and the online periodicalwww.thearticle.com edited by the well known journalist and writer Daniel Johnson. |

| | ray keene: Btw my chess biography already exists entitled Grandmaster Strategy and published by Hardinge Simpole . |
|
Mar-08-20
| | MissScarlett: <Ray>'s back in the hoooose.....everything's right with the world...welcome home! |
|
Mar-08-20
| | HeMateMe: Ray, you need to do the right thing and mail a copy of your auto bio to the NYC public library system. |
|

| | ray keene: NYC public library system. Is lodging a book there standard practice? Any advice on how to make it so? |
|
Mar-13-20
| | MissScarlett: <Ray>, your website lists your achievements including <Leon Mexico 2013, defeating 17 opponents simultaneously without sight of the boards or pieces>. Was this a fully kosher event? Were they all kids? What was the overall score? Any game scores? |
|

 | | redlance: Ray just ordered Grandmaster Strategy.
Look forward to this book!!! |

The articles in 'The article' (link above) are enjoyable - joined and following. Very slightly disagreeing about Steinitz and Prof Challenger (though you may well be correct.) https://www.thearticle.com/chess-ox... Liked this wee plug for this site in another article where you say you will not be using games scores but: "Games will be made available by linking to chessgames.com a free website which not only gives you access to instantly replayable games onscreen, but also invites readers to contribute their own comments to the analytical debate. " (you could have added after 'analytical debate' not only chess, we here also have all of the answers to all of the questions that are plaguing humanity.) *** |

| | HeMateMe: Thanks for your response, Ray. I'll check with library people here about protocol. Most likely there's a clearing depository just outside of NYC or in the city itself. The library system here is huge, as is London's. We have a lot of chess books in the original Russian, though one can't check those out. [collectors will keep the rare books, claim they were "lost"] they can only be examined at a research center. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: Hello GM Ray Keene,
I am curious about your comment from today's 'Game of the Day': Keene vs E J Holt, 1971 You remarked: <my opponent was incredibly pissed off at the end of the game> a little over 14 years ago, here: Keene vs E J Holt, 1971 (kibitz #3) What I cannot understand is <why>? Why would he be so angry? Did he give you a reason? |
|
Apr-11-20
| | ray keene: <thegoodanarchist> I think my opponent was angry because he thought I had been taking the piss with my king peregrinations. Actually, I had a good reason for all of them ! |

| May-24-20 | | cameosis: <ray keene> mr keene, greetings. i have a favor to ask: recently, i’ve come across two events that have been played in the late 1980s, james capel speed chess challenge (1988) and european speed chess championship (1989), both televised with your commentary. is it possible to get the game scores and possibly dates for these tournaments somewhere, would you know how and where? i have only found nunn v mestel (1988), kasparov v speelman (1989) and adams v speelman (1989) the drawn final game, so far. thanks much in advance! |
