| Jan-26-12 | | Knight13: <jessicafischerqueen> I want to apologize for starting the (somewhat) controversial topic about Fischer in your forum. I realize that such discussion (or argument) does not belong in your chessforum. I am sorry for the disruptions I have caused. Please do not hesitate to delete all of my posts about Fischer in your chessforum. It will not happen again. |
|
| Jan-26-12 | | TheFocus: <jess> I hope you don't delete the Fischer posts. Your Forum and mine are the two shrines to our cousin Bobby!! So, they are very appropriate here. <lamont> I recently sent excerpts of the Fischer bio to <parisattack> and he loved them!! I also tried to send them to <SM Eliot Hearst> (who has given me some great and original Bobby material), but he could not open the attachments, and said he wanted to see the whole thing before commenting. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Knight13> no need to apologize, as <TheFocus> says this forum is an appropriate place to discuss Bobby, even if I myself don't directly get involved in it. Feel free to continue, in particular there are several people responding to your points, so feel free to respond back to them in any way you see fit without fear of any kind of censorship or disapprobation from my end. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <lamont> as always, you are too kind. If you wanted to help out my research financially, it would be greatly appreciated. The simplest way is to open a <paypal> account, then you can just deposit money directly through my email address <jessicafischerqueen@yahoo.com>. At the moment, I'm using <paypal> to pay two different people for oral translation service. It's simple, I just log in to paypal, then type in the email address of the recipient and they get the money automatically transferred to their account. It's expensive to pay for this translation service, but well worth it, since the Google Translator doesn't have a "voice recognition" function I could use to translate video dialogue from foreign language chess documentaries. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Thanks <penguin>- I have some ideas for a long term strategy to get the admins to construct better intros to their WC pages- at present it's not in great shape. One of the main problems is their reliance on <Graham Cree's> website, which is full of "information" lacking any primary sources- actually, it's lacking any kind of reliable sources at all. To paraphrase Edward Winter, there's really no reason to suppose any information from such sites, or books for that matter, is true or not. Simply no way to tell without a proper book(s) that are themselves sourced with primary material. This will become an even more important issue when Cg.com gets around to converting all the historical tournament collections made by members, the "Big Three" in particular. Among the CG.com membership, there are people who have the original tournament books and a wealth of proper primary sources, such that there's really no excuse for intros that aren't properly sourced. As it is, the current Cg.com WC index is amateurish, at best, and makes the website look unprofessional in the eyes of anyone who actually cares about such quaint notions as "what actually happened" |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <penguin> it's a job worth finishing, that's for sure. I have Golombek's Tournament Book for 1948, and the Match Books for 1957 and 1958. I have a few others as well on my hard drive back in Korea, where I'll be in a couple of weeks. Email me any thime if you want any extra information on those three, or you can just post a request here in my forum. I'm at jessicafischerqueen@yahoo.com |

| Jan-27-12 | | Alien Math: Don't use our software, security firm Symantec warns customers http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012... In the newly released security advisory, Symantec offers suggestions for tightening security in light of the code theft. Victor suggests four additional steps to greater protection: 1. Do not use a "suite" of security protection from any one firm. A mixture of best of breed security is more secure. 2. Usernames and passwords alone are not enough protection for remote access. A single-use password system makes unauthorized remote access exponentially harder for cybercriminals. 3. Do not run computers in "Administrator" mode. Run systems in "User mode" so that malware does not install automatically. 4. Businesses should deploy application "whitelisting." This will prevent unauthorized malware from running on computers. |

Knight 13 ~
No need for self-immolation...
I sd/ : "FOR ME [emph/] at least"
I wuznt laying down the law for you
or anyone else...just myself re post/72
sensationalized ephemera.
But you wd/ be surprised how many authors
as I have found thru the years -
will reply to questions sent to them
c/o their publishers.
Give it a try...cant hurt.
But this is a totally freee forum.
Dont feel restricted on my part.
TheFocus is right re the impropriety of any deletions. When Fred Astaire called Michael Jackson to compliment him
on his fantastic dancing, after watching him
do a show on TV - he was able to separate/distance the
Person from his created Art.
Shdnt we ??...
[Michael sd/ that call was the supreme compliment of his life.] Notice (here & esp/ on Fischer's pg)
how the irrepressible HarryLime rarely, if ever,
entangles himself in post-1972,
non-chessic, distractive aberrations.
To him -always ebulliently expressed-

Of its own accord the land yields fruit,

He said,
"To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God,
or what parable can we use for it?>
It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth.> But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade."> With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it.> Without parables he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.> |

Ok. Thanks for the offer. I'll see when I need them. :) |

| Jan-27-12 | | TheFocus: <lamont> <Can you do this biography all in Hawaii ?? or Cleveland ??> I have a very large library. But a trip to Cleveland will have to be made. I also use various sources on the Internet to find some things. A lot of information comes from people that knew or played against Fischer. Say I e-mail someone and ask a question of someone and if they can't answer it, they will start asking others for the info. Let me give you a great example. I sent in a couple of items/corrections to Mechanic's Institute Newsletter about Bobby. This is edited by IM John Donaldson. We then connected by telephone and I sent him an e-mail describing some of my discoveries, and asked for some help in finding some things. That intrigued him enough that he began sending out e-mails looking for this lost material. When no one could find it, he told me that he was going to Cleveland on a research trip and would look for it there. He was unsuccessful there, but that kind of gesture gained a lot of respect from me. I have bought about a dozen Fischer books from him; my last order was for two 1972 match books by Hort and Larsen. In one of my orders, he put in a lot of extra stuff that I had not ordered. I thought he had mixed my order up with someone else's and e-mailed him. He replied, "No mix up. It's a gift." As you know, John D. has written a couple of books about Bobby already. Other people have given me some nice material and even just sent me autographed books just for inquiring. I m very grateful to everyone that has contributed to the book. Each of them will be acknowledged in the book. |
