Did not see this in clean sport but without superstar (say lawn bowl or our nearest cousin, scrabble).<br /><br />12 angry men is the classic film about a murder case in which most of the jurors believe defendant is guilty except for jurors no8 who believe other wise. Slowly, with simple reasoning, he manage to convince the rest of the jurors that defendant is not guilty. Along the way juror no8 discovered that other jurors got their own agenda/history to say defendant is guilty.<br /><br />CheersIlhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13899200592563128575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717777103822174037.post-79990042748774160702011-01-25T00:39:23.789-08:002011-01-25T00:39:23.789-08:00Ah the chicken and the egg story or is it?

Clean up chess and maybe the superstar may come or have dirty chess and the players have the star all knocked out of them before they have a chance. Do send story of 12 angry men. Want to learn more. :)<br /><br />CheersRaymond Siewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365430395857434429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717777103822174037.post-74937804627461325592011-01-23T03:13:47.316-08:002011-01-23T03:13:47.316-08:00Hi Raymond,

Money will come afterwards just like Fischer (Chess) and Nicol david (Squash). We need to produce that first superstar that even non chess player know and ofcourse after that many mother will open to the idea of having in law that play chess! <br /><br />Take it as a challenge Raymond. If u are right, consistent and patient at the end of the day victory is all yours. Please watch the black and white '12 angry men' for inspiration.<br /><br />CheersIlhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13899200592563128575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717777103822174037.post-18843455567939244592011-01-23T00:08:30.825-08:002011-01-23T00:08:30.825-08:00I believe if we can clean up this sport, more spon...I believe if we can clean up this sport, more sponsors will come and who knows maybe even more than memancing. Belum cuba belum tahu. Then more mothers will want chess kids as son-in-law/daughter in law. Right now I am even having problems stopping my own supporters from running away. Not many can stomach this type of poison.Raymond Siewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365430395857434429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717777103822174037.post-23513653889232800582011-01-22T12:12:20.921-08:002011-01-22T12:12:20.921-08:00Hi abdooss,

Haha :)<br />I've heard of a real incident during the WW2 where a chessplayer was arrested and accused of similar thing (correspondence chess); he resorted to demonstrate to the Govt Officer that it was indeed a chess game. And he was freed after that!abdoosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00939366552163815306noreply@blogger.com
