INNES HIRED TO "CARE ABOUT CHESS"

CROSSVILLE, TN - The United States Chess Federation announced today
that it had hired internationally known Nearly an IM Philip Keith
Innes to "care about chess in the US", according to USCF Executive
Director Bill Hall. "Nearly an IM Innes has shown a great deal of
caring
about US chess, despite his complete absence from organized chess play
or governance, and we at the USCF feel having him care about US chess
is worth the expense of paying him", Hall said. "He KNOWS at
least two native born GMs - in fact the only two the US has, and so he
brings a tremendous background experience to his caring", added USCF
Executive Board Member Don Schultz.

Innes, who holds the prestigious Nearly an IM title and had a chess
rating of 2450 granted to him by some unknown chess group, lives in
Brattleboro, Vermont, where he divides his time between caring about
US
chess and refusing to become a member of his local chess club, state
chess body, Chess Journalists of America, and USCF. The terms of the
deal between Innes and USCF are not officially known, but off the
record sources reveal that Innes will be required to stop posting to
newsgroups. "We were concerned that Nearly an IM Innes' newsgroup
posts might blunt the full impact of his caring about US chess," said
USCF Executive Board Member Joel Channing, "since they could be read
by the unimformed as semiliterate, whining screeds."

of Oirish extraction?..

Yes. Why does P Innes call you Nick?
