“The practice makes the master join a chess club”
No, this is not a fortune cookie. This is the title of an article at americachess.com, and they may want to get a native English speaker to help them proofread the stuff pretty soon.
Other titles include:
“Chess boards without them there is no game”
“Keeping alive the chess clock”
“3D Chess the new era of Play Chess”
Many of you have gotten that spam ad from one “Mary Miller” who wants us to shill for her, but it’s probably one of those Nigerian “princes” in disguise.

Didn’t respond. Sounds all very dodgy and I’m not sure how I feel about sharing my content on a site that advertises itself as “Chess, Players, Play Game, Granmasters”.
I got those msgs too. And I half-expected to win 3 million dollars from the UK lottery in my next email.
You really know how to burst a bubble. 🙂
Mary and her organization have been “dealt with,” so to speak. Their attempt to hijack the Egg from our control was an affront to the Seven Secret Masters, and to me personally. So we sent Dick Cheney.
@tanc: Thanks! I thrive on pessimism.
@Lizardoid Alpha King: Cheney’s announcement that he was endorsing Kay Bailey Hutchinson was perfect cover for the operation.
