Serious question - if you peruse my forum, you will see that I have already asked several other users to do this.

Could you give me your final observations on the "Pogonina-vs-The World" match? Honest Injun, tell me what you really think. <You Rang>, <Chancho> and several others have already done this for me.

Regarding your historical theory on <ghoul> vs. <Kulla Tierchen>, or perhaps more appropriately "Spy vs. Spy," I came across this by accident today while on the Botvinnik page:

Mikhail Botvinnik

<Dec-14-02 <Ghoul:> Alekhine was not a very good person. You praise him and denounce Botvinnik. Alekhine was an opportunist, he had no honor or authenticity. Botvinnik believed in Stalin and always prepared for his matches, he did not show up drunk. . Botvinnik believed he was helping his society by being world champion. He could have defected but he was not greedy like Alekhine. Alekhine was a Nazi collaborator. Botvinnik had honor and authenticity.

Dec-14-02 <Kulla Tierchen:> Authenticity!! Have you been reading the works of the Nazi collaborator Heidegger perhaps?>

This "Two for the price of one man" was awfully clever, in addition to being funny. Heidegger's "Being and Time" is a 76,000 page inquiry into what, exactly, constitutes "authentic being." In addition, Heidegger was accused, with some justification, of Nazi collaboration, same as Alekhine.

I was forced to read "Being and Time" in university at the point of a gun.

More or less.

I read a lot of the posts on the <P-game> and I still found the foe and her spy to be the most thoroughly unenjoyable people involved, by far.

I think it was a failed experiment to have less than three days per move, and if CG.com doesn't return to the old time control, the "challenge games" will die out, and will no longer serve to garner outside interest in our website.

Only thing I noticed that maybe wasn't talked about already was the participation of two prominent youtube chess video analysts, both of whom became very, very crabby and then disappeared. I know both of them quite well from conversations on youtube over the last three years.

I kind of felt like apologizing for the way the game turned out, if only to defend CG.com in general.

But I wasn't involved except as a lurking "post reader" and sporadic insulter of the antagonist, who in my view was- and remains- an outright liar.

It's an outrage to legitimate Grandmasters- women who actually obtained the title, such as <GM Szusza Polgar> (first woman grandmaster in history), <GM Kosteniuk>, and especially <GM Judit Polgar>, that the antagonist insisted on billing herself as a Grandmaster all over our website and also on her own webpage.
