Apologies to GM Ian Rogers

Our post yesterday on the "row" between Javier Gil and The Chess Drum comes several days after GM Rogers had, in fact, already mentioned it in his column last Sunday in Sydney's Sun Herald. I honestly did not know this and only just saw that column now. And so with that, I must apologise to Ian. There was no intention by me to steal his thunder.

And by the way, for those who'd like to take a shot at the retiring GM, you can catch him tomorrow in Canberra.
