Hello Everyone,

The reason that I write this, is the latest post of Povox and the chess
tournament that he aranged. This is a nice opportunity to thank him for
the whole event and the Chess Tournament, because such events make us
come closer and the Chess Game is played more massively and real talents
are discovered in this way.

For those that dont know me I would like to make small introduction
about my passion and obsession, the Game of intelligence and strategy,
the Game of luck and patience, the Game of experience and talent, The
Best of All Games, =-ChesS-=. For years now I have been playing that
game discovering its secrets and my weaknesses. Throughout the years I
am trying to perfect my plying style, played a lot of games and
dedicating my life almost in discovering tactics and manoeuvres to best
my opponents.
For those that already know me though my shouts for an opponent for a
Game of Chess, I would like to thank them for their replies so far and I
hope they had a good (challenging) time playing with me.

After what I already said, you probably understand why I would like to
Challenge, anyone that believes in his/her (His/Her) chess abilities, to
a Chess Game. This Challenge is not temporal or for the first time (I
have done it once in the past). The Result of previous Games I have had,
has been victorious for me, so if there is a Worthy opponent out there,
it will be my honour to play a game with him.

At this point I would like to Specially Challenge those that suddenly
pop up and win Events where Chess Game is involved. Those events involve
a serious amount of credits (or gold) that the winner wins and seem to
attract attention of these talents, those who I with great pleasure
Challenge now!
I dont want to give names at this point since you all probably know who
wins, but I am currently waiting for they replies and Ill be honoured,
as I said before, to play with them. I am still Never Beaten in this
Game!!!

I want finally to explain that the reason I am not contesting them in
the events is clear. Money and credits can be earned through these
events and if I am not participating maybe there is bigger interest and
the event is more exiting and unpredictable. Although I am quite poor
and I dont claim to hate gold or credits, those powerful financiering
means of pressure I dont have in first priority. Still people do respect
my opinion in matters, which gives me great pleasure and the certainty
that my actions havent gone unnoticed, or without purpose. So
Challenging them for Zero Credits or Gold is a matter of Fame and
playing with me is something I expect in return for the opportunity I
offered them.

(-Note to Zahmekoses :;As you well remember Zahmekoses I did played
years before with you and you never conceded the game, which by the way
is the only game (Gods my witnesses) I have in my chesslist after all
these years and games. This challenge is Not for you. You will first
concede me that game. As for the 50k bet we had on that game, it was
your idea and I declare that I dont want that money any more. Every time
I use my chesslist I can see what I did to you in 100 moves and you
checkmate position reminds me you level of playing.(First time I played
this game, at my 18, I won in less than 10 moves my opponent, if that
makes you feel better.)Therefore I keep no hard feeling and I still wait
to play with you or you chess mentors. Telling me that I have played in
an almost perfect way is something I predefined and one expects while
playing for 50k gold, Yes ? I still wait for your Chess Mentors to play
me and show me that they can not only see how perfect I play but
recognize my weaknesses at the same time. Then we will see who will win
and I will bow in front of them, if they deserve it.;Years of training
and practice cannot be overlooked or ignored. My Family, my Guild, my
City and all travellers to Solarium of Thought have seen my efforts to
improve myself. Once I was asked how come that I am not studying chess,
when I moved to Hakhim, to sell rats to so I could get some money to eat
(I was starving!). Even my low experience ranking shows the time I have
dedicated to chess, so I think I deserve your last legal move on the
chess game we have.-)

Thank you for you time,
