Apr-24-25  FM David H. Levin: Thanks for sharing that, <areknames>. When discussing chess or economics, did he borrow any expressions or concepts from the other subject?

I don't remember mate, this is 40 years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be. Still, he was a such a nice bloke, very easy-going and a good teacher. On the night before graduation he invited me and a couple of classmates to his house to have a few beers. I was slightly hungover the next day! Very unconventional. I hope that he can read this, if he's still out there.
