Boris Bacynskyj died this week, no one can quite find out how or why.
He was in his late 50s.

He was in his late 50s.
I memorialized him here with some of my first poasts.
Here's a copy of his book

there's lots of other links about him on the net
=======================================
Speaking of religion, this is Christmas and I feel somewhat sad,
because I have no family nearby. I made a traditional Christmas
eve dinner, I called out the forces of nature and invited the
ancestors to dine with me. Tomorrow, friends will take me for
Christmas dinner and a play, so I won't be too lonely.
I'm sorry if I sound a little disorganized here, but I am so
terribly missing my family.
I just got a Christmas card and my friend put in a Japanese
inscription. That is one of the languages I have not yet
studied. It may be a while before I get the translation
because there are no Japanese in the city where I am now
residing. I am thinking of xeroxing it and sending it to my
American cousins in Cambridge. One is a social worker in a
South East Asian nonprofit organization. Obviously, Lao,
Cambodian and Vietnamese are not the same. Still, she might
just know someone who knows the language. In addition, her
brother Boris might, too, because he spent Peace Corps stint
in the Far East. He is achessmaster who many years back
worked on one of the firstchesscomputer programs. He also
lived in perhaps Syracuse, maybe Albany, where he edited achessmagazine.
He abandoned that comfort to play "pick up"chesson Harvard Square.
Speaking of coumputers, I don't know very much about them.
I wish I understood what those lines with x mean. I read
somewhere that x-face is to remind women to put on their makeup
before they write email. I don't believe this. It sounds like
a joke.
In addition, I wonder what it means when someone says at the top
of the post in the headers: X-marks-the-Spot. I must learn a
great deal more about computing.
I also was wondering if anyone out there is a numerologist. I
wonder if believers in numerology will not read the posts that
have numbers of lines that do not fit with their lucky number
for the day. I saw someone, I do not remember where, post a
message about the New Year, and it had exactly 99 lines it.
That was very clever.
Happy Christmas everyone
Marika

I would only agree to play if we drew random numbers, and kept only that
many random pieces and arranged them randomly on the board according to
yet
another random numbering system. Making up the random numbering system
was
the only way I could keep my mind on the game.
My cousin used to make up many variance. For example, when he was inmany random pieces and arranged them randomly on the board according to
yet
another random numbering system. Making up the random numbering system

Chess cereal. Now there is a great name for cereal, especially cos
those
little pillows in the party mix look like mini chess boards.
Yes when I see this cereal I think - Oh ChEKA the cereal of secretthose
