Well, I'm properly chastened by Pieter's post on the NSR position. I would
only add my own two English pennies and remark that such a position is
utterly illogical. For a start it means stalemate is possible - but we're
all told that the impossibility of stalemate is one of the things that sets
the game above Chess. But then I'm a philosopher, so what do I know?
