Re: To Those Attending The Finals
Excellent stuff, Dinos. Looking forward to seeing you all there and I will be bringing a board (vinyl mat) and clock so Mr. MacDonald-Cooper can demonstrate his Morphy-esque playing style ;) . The outcome of any chess game in which I attempt to emulate Paul Morphy is even easier to predict than the...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday, 1st May
I was surprised ASTATINE did not get a mention from DC in Round 11

Re: Deal or no deal
Thanks for the concerned warning, Corhy. I'm already very afraid, but it's more to do with the Omagh octochamp!

Re: Deal or no deal
To "have relations" is a quaint sort of circumlocution for having nookie. I'm not sure about the range of expressions for this which would be current in the USA - or whether this sort of thing would be regarded there as so tame that nobody would bat an eyelid.

I'd no idea it was so exciting!

Re: Username
Yes, David, I do play chess, but am woefully out of pratice. It would be very enjoyable to renew acquaintance with the board and pieces, though my opening, endgame and middle game theory stops somewhere in the 1850s, I think (that's Anno Domini, not Elo rating).
Look forward to meeting you!

Scottish, though educated in England when younger (they say one's education never ends, though).

Re: Username
Thanks for that, Charlie. I'd also like to thank David O'Donnell, Julian Fell and Jason Larsen for the undeservedly kind things they've said about me in earlier posts. I don't know whether Tim Reypert reads contributions to the forum, but I'd like anyway to offer congratulations to him on an impress...

Username
A question for Charlie, I think. When joining the forum in its early days I neglected to read how I should have gone about this. Everybody but me has done the right thing and given themselves a proper user name. Can I change my user name from Michael to Michael Macdonald-Cooper without leaving the f...

Re: Welcome!
Thanks, Corby! I want to add that I started my post intending to refer to Stewart Scott's earlier one, and stupidly forgot to do so. Stewart won the admiration and respect of everyone in the studio on 30 November for his exemplary sportsmanship and generosity despite what must have seemed a disappoi...
