Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Cute Internet Chess Club Handles

I just beat a guy in a five-minute game who rejoices under the handle 'noblitz-oblige.' I guess that counts as an inaptronym given that he was playing blitz. 

3:22 PM.  Just beat 'keresmatic' whose play was neither reminsicent of Paul Keres nor  charismatic.  Cute handle, though.

I've prepared a line to use next time I hike with James L., a fanatical hiker of near master strength in chess.  Should I lag, I will complain of feeling weaker than f7.
