Never heard of this Kafka till now, but we have two common opponents (Mikhalevski and Aagaard).

  Sally Simpson: Hi perfidious,

I know him very well, good lad.

He handed me my quickest lost ever on the black side of a Latvian Gambit. I over-looked a very simple move and in that opening you are on thin ice anyway. I fell straight through.

One incident will sum him up.

He was playing in the Scottish Champioship, his opponents mobile rang.

The Arbiters rushed across to award the game to Graeme but he refused the win. The game was drawn.
