Good one! And "There's a game?"  is another good one.... so that makes two good ones .... count 'em -- two!

Wait ... now that I notice the subject matter of this thread, I'm inclined to think we're all supporting the "yes" answer to this forum question. But it may need more support.  It's a heavy topic.  Sometimes things that are really heavy need a lot of support.

Since had answered via 'alerts' (ie: few posts back). No way can explain it now M.I.L.

Would just dig deeper-hole for myself! :)

You're right.  Some things are best just forgotten ... like the series of moves I've made in my last few games ... Cry ...

Trading in antique chess sets is not good for the brain, but it's great for the wallet.

Is it possible to revive a dead thread? I await with interest.

What if it's merely a coma?

DrSpudnik

A comma or a semi-colon?

It is important to remember comas.  They can change the whole meaning of a sentence.

Are semi-colons the small ones?  Also, on a somewhat related topic, do I have too much time on my hands?

You were certainly quick off the mark. its the apostrophies that are the tricky one's

DrSpudnik

Apostrophes are just uppity commas.

netzach

Blame the parentheses I say.

N.SHORT: I play way too much blitz chess. It rots the brain just as surely as alcohol.

Am speculating here ... might you have done extensive research comparing the two?  Just wondering.... Undecided ...Wink

You would have to do a double blind study, with and without alcohol, previous indication of brain rot, and of course number of comas.I would be willing to volunteer (usual fee payable in advance)

I wonder if congressional gridlock might scuttle our effort to get a National Science Foundation grant for this important work?

Sould we ask for beer or hard liquor?
