I only came back here because your statement functionally impugned me when you wrote:

You implied I was avoiding you, and this is clearly not the case. I did not avoid the World Checkers Champion who came to visit the week before Christmas when I was walking around like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, so I would not be avoiding a game with you.

I can't back down from an issue where I am attacked for no reason. Rescind your statement about me trying to avoid you, and I will have nothing more to say.

The whole point is moot anyway. I haven't played checkers in a very long time, and I am trying to get Bobby Fischer to play Anatoly Karpov a 12-game match of Gothic Chess. So far, Karpov said yes, and I flew to Iceland just last month to meet with Grandmaster Fridrik Olafsson, Bobby's closest friend and neighbor.

From left to right:

A youthful 71-year old Fridrik Olafsson, Alexis Skye (a 6'5 blonde goddess) who is the most popular Gothic Chess tournament director, International Master Frank Camaratta from the HouseOfStaunton.com (Frank is designing the wooden Gothic Chess set for the Fischer-Karpov match) and on the far right, me with my big bald spot *1*

I am playing a couple of games of checkers on here to try and get back into the swing of things, but it is no longer a "focus" for me.

Just two things I want to make perfectly clear:

1. I have never declined or refused to accept any challenge to play a game of checkers.

2. I am, or was, very good at the game, and nothing anyone can say can change that.

DMatt: I cant dispute or agree with your statement about your play unfortunately, so I think that is the end of it as far as I am concerned. I will repeat myself again though when I say playing in tournaments will be the only bench mark any player can aspire to.

On your other subject, (If true) just finished reading "Bobby Fischer Goes To War" and would look forward to that event if it ever takes place.
