Not if get there first! Though, I think you'll get there ahead of me with your wonderful improvement thread.

Thank you for the votes of confidence. Hm I noticed a few spelling errors just now, guess I forgot to make a cup of tea there. You're absolutely right about the Chernev book, I'll look into that in a bit, while I'm waiting for Germany-Turkey (Euro 2008 football/soccer) to kick off. Though, that is far less blatent than a user asking for a CM10 cd key hehehe; still to paraphrase Freud, a small sigar is a sigar as well.

Actually, FinFangFoom, that is not the case, though I will on occasion 'look things through the fingers' (don't know if that dutch saying translates). I didn't catch it for the following reasons:
- Unfortunately, I suffer from a forum bug that disallows me from seeing any of the auto-stickied first posts in the puzzle and correspondence sections.
- To 'view' the first post, I must copy over the thread to another section first (I use the off-topic section for this) and read the post in the duplicate thread there. Afterwards, of course I delete such threads.
- When I'm making my rounds, I click 'new posts' and at least glance through them, of course with this thread, there was nothing to glance. I suppose I forgot to take a look at it, with its rather dodgy title.

As you can see, both the thread and its started have gone. I've just deleted the thread asking for a copy of Logical Chess as well as another thread mainly involved with only copyrighted materials; and I removed a post in the QGA books thread linking to a site hosting these things.

Where was I, ah yes, tea.
