Apparently, pdela is back.
Chess.com mystery...

Question is, is he missing a kidney or was he on a clandestine mission removing kidneys from people he abducted?

Eugene Tooms comes to mind.

We have discussed the various theories about the mysterious disappearance, I guess that it's now time for theories about the mysterious return. Anyone ?

His anger over not getting cpotm finally cooled

It's not really him! Quick, someone check for pods in the basement!

Who holds the record for "most times leaving chess.com and coming back"?
There should be a trophy for that.

I don't think pdela is from Israel, thus, I don't think "his disappearance" was about taking people's kidneys. He mentioned to me, the pressure of exams. But, I've experienced exam-pressure and it seems quite odd that aliens would really care about "exam-pressure". Watermelons have a notorious past, which is granted, so I know many people out there would like to blame that infamous fruit. Also, the loss of CPOTM could be devastating...if you're pdela. So that theory has "legs", so to speak. But, my theory behind his bizarre, recent re-appearance seems rather obvious: This is not pdela! My source for this is the documentary--"Invasion of the Body Snatchers", which documents, rather convincingly, the pod-take-over of Spain. Of course, the English dubbing of that documentary is meant to confuse the ever-baffled rabble, but, there is little doubt that "pod", and "podela", seem, at least to me, related...
edit: I think this is the long version of cystem's accute comment about the situation, as I was writing(and drinking)for a while, and missed it

I'm not sure about the wristwatch. See "Resurrection Threads."
Why would some naked, old-guy have a rolex?

Who do you think buys them?
Pdela is back
Wow!
@get_lost, your invite was hilarious! I'm just not signing up for groups, until I get inspired to play turn-based chess again
Don't worry, this group doesn't play chess.
