I wanna congratulate you sincerely for your great and amazing collection Game Collection: Brilliancies By "Unknowns". I found there immortal games, even better than the most famous ones. You found the golden coins in the mud, and those "Brilliancies by Unknowns" are a delightful collection that merely deserve to be known by "knowns and unknowns". I was tired of those immortal games of the "famous players" and now I see the immortal of the "unfamous ones", and after seeing the game number #2 (E Kalegin vs S Yuferov, 1990), I was convinced that the rest of the games were going to be jewels.

Anyway, I'm not so into churches and so I can only offer limited help, based on the list at the Slovenian Wikipedia (http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seznam...) and from what I know, I think you should visit the churches in <Ljubljana> (there are many, from different periods and in different styles and we might have a mosque in the future too :-)), then the one in <Bled> (on the island), the church of St. Rupert in <Šentrupert>, the church of the Holy Trinity in <Hrastovlje> (with the famous frescos), the church of St. Nicholas in <Novo mesto>, etc. To name something in my vicinity, there's a nice church tower in <Koper>, along with city walls and other buildings on the Tito square (I know, not exactly a fitting combination :-), but it's the only one that hasn't been renamed since our independence) and in <Piran>, also with the famous city walls.

All are small or very small churches, as are most of the towns they're located in, so don't expect anything "monumental".

I can further try and look for some photos (some are already provided on the link above), if you're interested.

-- Do You know if the list of the players has been finalized?

-- Will any of the "survivors" be there as guests.

Good to see you at my house. Glad you enjoyed the list... Not sure why I did it but once I started I couldnt' stop till it was done.

Very appropriate to see you tonight!

I just watched an <incredibly haunting> documentary on <Cantor, Boltzmann, Godel, and Turing>.

I wish I understood more math...

Thanks for the <Gascoigne> vid you posted on the "Match of the Day."

I just posted a 4 minute "highlight reel" of great <Gascoigne Goals> on the same thread.

I didn't know the webmasters here were such knowledgeable football fans!!

your humble servant and ex-player,

But going by my friends at <CG.com>, yes, there seem to be some exceedingly well-informed individuals hanging about....

<TheAlchemist> Talking of that game collection, does 26...Nd7!! from Steinitz vs Chigorin, 1889 really belong there? Granted, it loses a queen, but there's nothing better in the position; all other moves lose either two rooks or the king or both. Surely there are plenty of horrible top-GM blunders more deserving of being up there...
