Okay Okay! Taylor
But come now, how to explain English ideosyncratic speech and written manners to non-native speakers?
Of course he should have demanded /of/ Fide. Though this distinction would
Again, you are pricked, so you make a response which is itself unfair. I do not think your correspondent cares for popularity contests, and it will not matter to him how many people moooooooo with the herd. ASnyone writing here who has a superiority in chess [or any!] skill will be resented by a certain
Surely people who adopt an anon status in order to complement their avowed personalities are already at some extremity of psychological expression!
Surely this cannot be confused with the matured view of our village?
You see, I wrote with your correspondent long before his public appearance, and I know fairly well how discrete he is - his level of OTB play, and other matters, which he does not misrepresent in this public forum, neither does he grandstand.
Now, Mr. Tomic has taken Mr. Kingston to task for perhaps reporting things which are too convivial to Mr. Kingston's predisposition to a certain understanding. Interesting! Nothing is proved or disproved by this activity, but the matter of methodology in research is invoked.
Without trespassing on your conversation I can certainly validate independently that Mr. Tomic has some cause for concern, although I cannot validate it entirely publicly. Some Russian authorities are at great variance with others, and new and unpublished material from the 'Soviet
Government' itself informs the picture.
I think it is necessary to say that we all investigate this issue, that very little is resolved, and that some care must be taken in case apparently radical-seeming ideas as Mr. Tomic might propose are dismissed out of hand, and whether he advances these propositions from an inspired intuition, of from semi-avowable sources is unknown.
What is in question Taylor, is that your particular source in this instance might not be telling the whole truth. There are recent contradicitions in fact [not in reaction to a particular reporter, but of facts otherwise reported] from both an angry GM Bronstein and a realistic GM Taimanov, as simply two examples of contrary opinion, which are on the record.
However, they are yet other, and quite particular reservations about your source!
This is no simple subject. I must add to be quite fair that I think you yourself also wish to report fairly on this issue. It is likely, from my scan of things, that we are currently at some distance from establishing a fair understanding of this background of Soviet-era manipulations.
Mr. Tomic may not recognise the Dylan line of my fellow Vermonter, nor its context.
I was wanting to find a context myself to write another quote, which is profound. It is:-
"Allah is merciful, the rest is commentary..

Life is to entered upon with courage.
