Let's have another grudge match.

Phil Innes and Neil Brennen - Knight odds as suggested.

You will play on ICC. I'll supply the ICC accounts.
You two will *each* need to get a current USCF
TD to procter. (Local level or higher. I *must* have
knowledge of this TD and agree to him or her). It WILL
be USCF rated.

I'll give a free year of ICC membership as a prize. If
someone wants to donate a cash prize feel free!

Put up or shut up guys!

I don't believe that the USCF will rate odds games.

I had suggested the following pairing variant years ago, but I was told
informally that odds such as these wouldn't normally be USCF rated:
Don't assign color. Instead each player bids time to be subtracted from
their clock in order to play white. (Bid limited to leaving at least 30
minutes in order to be long enough for regular rating.)

I've never expressed an interest in playing chess with Mr. Innes, nor
have I ever made a claim that I am a better chessplayer than he is. I
am only interested in proving or disproving his claims to "2450" and
his other absurd statements. Why I would desire to pollute both the
noble game of chess and myself by playing with a notorious libel and
hysteric like Innes is beyond me.

Duncan, if you want to see me play at Knight odds with an expert, may I
suggest a match with Bill Brock? Rather than stakes I would like to see
all money divided as follows:

50% to the children's charity that Mr. Brock was planning on donating
to with the winnings from his match with the felon;
50% to PSCF if I win, ICA if Brock wins.

Interesting. Actually my goal was to hopefully bring an end to these endless
debates and a little entertainment to us rgcp denizens.

Am I expected to provide all the entertainment on rcgp?

Also, "Grudge Match" implies a grudge: I am unaware of your having had
sexual relations with minors. Are you perchance an ex-seminarian?

Just when Parr, Sloan, Tomic, and Innes are down for service.

Surely you can find something else to dislike about me?

No, but I've never been to Chicago.

Your sexual frustration is your personal problem.
By the was, my country just won World Cup in water polo. In the final match
Serbia and Montenegro won Hungarian's team 16:6. Would you congratulate me
and my country?
After that please return on chess themes! I insist, because this newsgroup
made some deviation on personal problem's some thieves who would be hanged
on hanging tree (if Roy Bean is stil alive).
