Mr. SAT,

Well thanks for the applause :) But, I do not want to leave this thread with the impression that it was all a joke. To bring the point home consider this excerpt from an recent article published at USAHealthCoach.com:

"Flesh-eating bacteria” operate swiftly and without mercy, and with a casual misdiagnosis could result in amputation of the affected limb or death! At the time I was probably thinking what you may be wondering now, “If this treatment was not successful, how do you cut off your head and still survive?” Morbid fears arise quickly as you face the reality of a quick demise.

It is imperative that we understand the seriousness of these bacteria, which is not only real but can be passed on in something as simple as a casual handshake. Who could believe that a friendly handshake could risk your health? The old biblical statement, “what is your life but a vapor - here today and gone tomorrow,” is a stark reality."

And that is just one of the threats. The world is becoming more virulent and toxic. Some may think it is not stylish or just plain silly to think of wearing latex gloves, or breathing filters. Clear thinking folks may opt for reason and life instead of style and amputation.

Another consideration: chess has a dark side that we see on occasion where people want to win so much they are willing to do unscrupulous things. It is conceivable, though unlikely, that your next opponent may deliberately wear unwashed clothes that have been worn during an infectious disease to which he has acquired an immunity. Perhaps he will also avoid washing his hands in order to spawn more infection.

Will Typhoid Mary hit the chess scene? People can be very strange, but I do not have to tell you that. We have all seen it.
