[Varley]

I believe huffing is something in the game of draughts to which the unwary are subject. Draughts relevance to chess is much as the positive displacement bilge pump's to the gas turbine.

If unwary I advise against chess. Especially as an old person. The young have no mercy.

One such was much amused, and delighted to communicate his amusement in across-the-board conversation, by a recent scandal. A grand master was caught using his portable telephone apparatus in a cubicle of the event's gentlemen's convenience to cheat (obviously also a trespasser).

He was only suspected as his age indicated that he could not be playing as well as he appeared to be.

I look forward to helping said young person's nephew to play. Then I can go to my grave knowing that, even if I do not see it, he too will feel the barb of youthful ingratitude.

Heat the planet, let the bastards burn!
