One of the newbies on the Olympic forum came out with 'blimey, this is chess on wheels'.............which is a well worn cliche, but he didn't know that !
That pleased me................it felt like we had a convert.”

Well I'm one of these kind of new converts. I can understand VincentH's frustration with the kind of person who is not only new to the sport but simultaneously thinks they already know everything there is to know. There are tons of that type in the London2012 forum on DS today - having a right go at TeamGB re. yesterday. If they were all willing to ask questions and learn rather than pontificating it would be fine.




glad to see you're a recent convert.
