AO correct this immediately pls!
An interview with the current MCC president gets cut an pasted on this board, partly because a number of people who may like to pass comment are banned for life on Chesschat for no particular sensible reason.
To prevent a) why not just republish your own work here. You are both a member of Ozchess and a member of MCC. A lot of people here do not read chesschat, but may like to read your work.
In relation to b) It ought to be remembered that Chesschat members are banned from linking to Ozchess. Linking to the original article would make sense, but unfortunately, its not a level playing field between the two sites. So whilst it may be undesirable for Ozchess members to cut n paste interesting posts on Chesschat, it is certainly understandable why such practices occur. Lets face it some people are not even allowed to link to
ANY Ozchess article on Chesschat or, quote a banned user.
cheers,
