february 19....my birthday

Post by Fernando »

So I am prepared to receive all kind of gifts. Do not be timid. I will become a 69 years old dotard and as such i have lost any sense of shame and remorse.

From almost the grave regards

Happy Birthday, Fernando! Sixty-nine happens to be my favorite number. My present to you: I will NOT sing the happy birthday song. Your ears will thank me.

Hi,

happy birthday to you, Dave and Fernando!

I think the best birthday gift for you is the "renaissance" of the chess computers nowadays through DGT and Millennium, isn't it?

63 Regards, Michael

Hi Fernando and Dave,

Happy birthday wishes to both of you!
I wish you both many exciting wins over those never nervous getting chess computers, and I suggest the closed Sicilian as a good weapon for it :-).

Gettin 71 this year regards,
