Meeting posters in the real world

@moonbus said
Yes, and in the proper order of priority: beer, food, chess. As I beat him 2 games to 1, he kindly paid for the beer, hence, a fine specimen of humanity.

Reflected in his posting here, making him a worthy winner of the POTY 2023 award.

What do beer, food, chess, who won, who paid or fine specimen of humanity have to do with the quantity of anonymous votes about his posting on this backwater forum board?

Pondy has my approval, I am sure he is the Gentleman in Person as he is in here. I can't say that about others who will go unmentioned. 🙂

There are some I may meet someday, some I know I'll never meet. I have a handful on here I consider good chess buddies, even a few who I consider Friends without having met them. 🙂

If it hadn't been for the internet we wouldn't have met at all, perhaps none of us.

@6exual, you're username is quite unique, have you got every agency on your back i.e. FBI, SWAT, NYPD etc unless you're a fat Fed posting on these forums. 🙂

In all cases they were nothing like I had expected from the dialogue on this site, extremely interesting, and great people to be with, so much so that i had a couple of evenings out (including beer and curries) with the one.

Another was a dark horse who I usually win against on RHP, but we set pieces up OTB in a working men's club with a couple of pints and he kicked my arse Royally (different game).

The third I met up regulalry in an Art Gallery and he was such enjpyable company.

I have more lined up for America, if the insanity that the world is currently going through doesn't overspill.

Peace Love and Light ! 😉

One day, perhaps.

The poster I would most like to meet up with is @Hand-Of-Hecate; he shoots for a hobby and I’d like to do a round with him.
