I don't know, to be honest.

If forced to guess, I'd say a "set match" had a limited number of games?

Remember some of the historical matches had no limit to the number of games.

How well you know me...

Even with your fine clue, I had to look 3 or 4 times until I noticed the Vancouver newspaper listing in that horrifying story you posted.

"Baby Metal"

Thanks! The question arose here A van Foreest vs Olland, 1913 and I've also come across it some times, one example is <In a set match, Morphy would beat anybody alive today.> by Fischer - http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...

I find it hilarious that Fischer went on and on about Morphy not having a stamp to commemorate him!

Fascinating.

One thing you have to admit about Bobby- he loved chess, and great chess players.

I think I learned quite a bit from you about chess players, chess history, all things Genesis & lately all things Floyd!

Also book! Journey to the West, Volume 1 http://www.amazon.com/Journey-West-...

Thanks for that excellent BELGIAN TV live performance of "Twilight Alehouse."

This track is of special interest to me because it's one of the few lyrics that <Gabriel> wrote directly about a contemporary social issue- alcoholism, in this case.

The only other social issue he ever wrote directly about for <Genesis> was "Get 'em out by Friday," which is about evil Landlords kicking deadbeat tenants into the street. And then using scientists to create "half sized people" so the landlords could cram more of them in the same building.

Here is <Get 'em out by Friday> (good):

It's good to be back in Obann!

<Mrs. PGP> pointed out yesterday that <The Palace> is my 10th published novel. I wonder how many better writers than I weren't able to get 10 books into print. Of course, this is counting my four horror novels in the 1980s, the sort of thing I don't write anymore.

Besides accuracy and tempo, Smith listens for pausing, regression (playing a wrong note, and playing it again), fixation, length of fixation and ability to read ahead.

The eye-tracking software reports exactly where the student's eyes spend time. Advanced players tend to move forward linearly with clean up and down movements.

Novice players? Their eyes are all over the place, including going back to mistakes, glancing off the page, lingering on troublesome notes. http://www.adn.com/2014/04/06/34113...

~~~~new notes concern google emails
Gmail does scan all emails, new Google terms clarify

“This is not the worst thing Google does,” said Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group. “But like anything like this, if people are concerned about it they should be able to completely switch it off if they want to.”

Such scanning and indexing of emails, which cannot be fully turned off, could be in violation of a US law called Ferpa, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which is the main law guarding student educational records and the law being used as the basis for a lawsuit filed against Google in California.
