@K1LL4RS3LF Thank you. Lol

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Looking forward to it, Olimpiu. I know you’ve put in a ton of work!

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Engaging, articulate, and just plain fun to read. He’s already missed.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Genius, drive, solidarity

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan I’m partial to the photo on the right, but have no objective basis for the choice. If it were up to me, you’d be working on two volumes, thus solving the cover question. 😉

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Congratulations, Olimpiu! What a wonderful discovery! The chess history community owes you a great debt, and not just for this one find.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Looking forward to it, Olimpiu.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Confident

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Without question.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Fantastic!

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

Just a reminder that Edward Winter’s Chess Notes, the finest website for chess history ever created, with the richest content, accurately presented and honestly given, remains available for all of us to enjoy. What are your favorite pieces? https://t.co/AfbhWudyIN

[Olimpiu Di Luppi @olimpiuurcan]

Some basic information on my Capablanca project. Contributions of rare visual material are welcome. https://t.co/jUPZVnk381

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan And clearly essential for chess history and biography.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Thanks Olimpiu. I’m deep into the Mackenzie second draft. I hope to emerge still relatively sane in another few months. It’s probably a coin toss. The sanity part, that is.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan John Donaldson

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@nigelshortchess I’d suspect both. True for me.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Sounds great! Sorry I can’t attend.

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Excellent choices!

[John Hilbert @Hilbert19John]

@olimpiuurcan Great stuff, Olimpiu!
