        I will be at the simul with some books and other items to sell. I will bring everything Shirov that we have. If there is anything you would like me to bring along, give me a call at Strategy Games, 613-565-3662.

            Yes, Bindi, he is licking his wounds after Wijk (called Tata this year as the old sponsor was acquired by the Indian giant). He did as poorly this year as he did well last year. I guess at that level we are seeing an awful llot of volatility.
            In any event, he is here on holiday with his wife Olga so I persuaded him to put on a little show for us again---he did the same last year. At least they are not put off by the snow and cold!
