I don't know, aren't we? I suppose I could have pulled out a different word to keep you entertained, but I was quite fond of 'curious' as it conjures thoughts of Alice in Wonderland, and coming to this forum is like sinking deep down into a rabbit hole.
So, tell me PP, do you find it ironic the post that mr Stanning is moaning about chesschat staff removing some posts it reveals that the ozchess ones have done the same. |

.Well I'm afraid that I couldn't tell you how ironic it may or may not be as I would have to kill you. We don't want that now do we! |

But does come as news that chesschat staff have been removing posts. It was previously thought the chesschat owner did the cull. |

Well I'm sorry but I am sworn to secrecy I have already told you that I would not like to kill you. So sorry I can't help you out with this very important matter feel free to ask a question on another matter though! I am here to talk if you'd like Mr Boris. |

Well some would agree, some would disagree I would have to sit on the fence so to speak with that matter however. |

If you are in a losing position and your opponent sacrifices B+N for rook and allows you to win, is this good play by you? |

Perhaps that shone some light on this puzzle for you Mr Boris?
