John Shaw's the Kings Gambit...........

How do you feel about the fact that I am a bit skeptical that you've signed up yesterday to this great chess site. Didn't play any games, didn't make any other posts, but are opening a topic to advertise a book?

Oh my, you seem so bright.
Since alec is unrated, how do we know how to value what he is contributing? Please enlighten me, mister brightlight.

(ps, I am sure alec is a grownup who can handle my skepticism. Like you know, grownups do...)

wow the f-bomb. didn't think that would fly here.

Btw, I've seen other posts from alec now and my sketicism is gone. Thanks for the reviews Alec.

    Wibert 78; Have you seen any of Alec's post dated before today??  I ask because basmanny's account was closed yesterday for a few choice postings!

Ronald, I am sorry I'm not going to get involved in staff-issues. But I believe Alec has had other accounts and I've seen his other posts since this one. Seems like a nice contributing fellow. I am just always thinking about spam whenever I see someone recommend a buyable thing in a first post.
