Brian,

Ha, I like this email.  I watched some of your games live and
replayed some.  I was perplexed as to why Alexander Velikanov gave you
a draw in that position, and now I know.  I had watched a
couple of his previous games and knew there was no way he
was a 2000 player.  I almost sent you an email to warn you
about the guy.  His age explains it.  He's accelerating quickly.

Seems like your best game that I know of was against Hess.
Rybka says you were crushing him until near the end.  Not
bad considering his 2500+ rating.

Rhett and Cindy bombed in the Al Ufer yesterday.  I couldn't
get them to slow down.  They played like it was G30 not G60.
I didn't play as I can barely write down my moves that fast,
let alone play some decent chess.

Rhett keeps talking about that Saw movie.  He hasn't seen
it, but his friends told him it's the scariest one out there.
I would vote for either Alien or Silence of the Lambs.
I think you're right about GIGO.

DuWayne

I was impressed with Isaac Martinez beating your son, Rhett Langseth. I thought
Rhett was 2 or 3 classes above Isaac. Isaac won $60 prize money and rented some
movies.

How did you watch the games live, was there Monroi action on ICC?

I told Alex after the draw that he was winning and he nodded that he knew that.

It reminded me of an early Averbach-Fischer draw in a wild piece for some pawns
position.

Drawn by puking,
I was regurgitating my childhood on the board
and Alexander was vomiting off the board.

Draw by puking, I like that.

Scott, can I have your draw with Anthea?

Scott-
Sure, but you have to puke for it.
