Good morning Edward/Riley! You are such a good entertaining writer that I had to subscribe to get to read the rest of your story. In these times it’s a relief to witness humour and humility. Thank you!
That was a brilliant chess story, very well written. Your self-deprecating sense of humor sets you apart from so many others burdened with weak egos and self image. It illustrates your inner strength. It makes it a pleasure to become a paid subscriber.
I don't know if it is enough a good news for you to open a bottle of chacha but if we were together (with a couple of good will, well meaning commenters) it would have been Georgian wine.
I will talk with the website administrator if they are willing to host more of your job.
PS, Le Média en 442 uses funny tone as much as they can around serious news, to lighten up...
Hilarious, and I could really appreciate the story because I used to play chess a lot as a kid. Now grab that RT badge and go to the Kremlin and tell them you're supposed to interview Mr. Putin. Watch out for the Noah's Ark trap, he's known to pull that garbage.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the kind words.
And, also, thank you so much for your generous financial support -- it really means a lot to me, and motivates me to write more.
take care,

Yes it was an interesting trip. thanks for the ride. j.t. oregon u.s.a.
Hello Riley,
You have been published in French in another alt-media with 40 000 readers a day

Bugey, this is great! Thanks so much for taking the time reach out to French media on my behalf. It really means a lot to me.
I will pop a Georgian wine cork in your honor, sir.
Thank you again.

Georgian wine is safe and effective! it has been tested for thousand of years...
PS: I'm not the author of the French introduction. A good martial art friend working with the media wanted to do the job....
It is obvious that this short novel is more funny than Zweig's "the Chess Player" which I read last July.
To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Zweig is too flattering. You're too kind to me.
Hilarious, and I could really appreciate the story because I used to play chess a lot as a kid. Now grab that RT badge and go to the Kremlin and tell them you're supposed to interview Mr. Putin. Watch out for the Noah's Ark trap, he's known to pull that garbage.
Thanks, Jim! Using my (long-expired) RT badge to get into the Kremlin...quite a gambit, but worth a shot!
This was a great tale. Samogon sounds rather interesting. Who knew that chess players carried on like rock stars?
a land mutiny is called an uprising or rebellion. mutiny is onlyy on the sea. j.m.o.
I play chess much like I would a slot-machine, but I could learn to love any game when described by an enthusiast !
