Spot the Professor who never was.

Legal threats in the chess world 30 years ago.

@SChevannes @MartinSims1 @Atomrod The term "Arkell vs. Pressdram" has been in Private Eye with a chess connection (2 July 1993 issue, page 11).

Chris Goodall's remark that Raymond Keene "still has an acute case of Main Character Syndrome" is very apt. https://t.co/WTY2g9oy49

One month after Raymond Keene's deceptive claim, https://t.co/nXrbOgas4G ranks the book at 857,110 (and at 1,454 for chess books only). At https://t.co/E0o7ybGZ4s it is at 2,906,476 on the bestseller list (and at 4,155 for chess books only). https://t.co/0L39em8IXP

Raymond Keene's deceptive "delight" was shortlived. A week on, https://t.co/nXrbOgas4G ranks the book at 386,403 (and at 600 for chess books only). At https://t.co/E0o7ybGZ4s it is at 1,615,235 on the bestseller list (and at 2,257 for chess books only). https://t.co/lpxWBWMgir

@LancashireCapi1 @nigelshortchess @GM_RayKeene What evidence is there in Raymond Keene's article that he has even seen Nigel Short's book "Winning"?

This is grossly deceptive, referring only to https://t.co/Rq4dFgQN1c and only to the ranking of books about chess. Overall, the book is not in the 40,000 UK best-sellers. At https://t.co/H26ZaKnt87, its current rating is 305,791, with a ranking of 335 in books about chess only.

New in Chess has made a fool of itself by trying to defend Raymond Keene's writing. https://t.co/xjKW4p2yMz

[Olimpiu Di Luppi @olimpiuurcan]

One of the worst things I have ever read in @NewInChess. 😂

[keene-watchers @KeeneWatchers]

@NewInChess A devastating assessment of this book: https://t.co/fQ9rUnPoBL

[Olimpiu Di Luppi @olimpiuurcan]

This is devastating. https://t.co/517eg3jIuO

Raymond Keene's cut-and-paste article in the June 2021 @BCMChess opens with a grammatical howler: "No nation has ever poured such huge resources into the support of chess than the USSR..."
