Pablo's latest story reads: "Mother dying of breast cancer. Fundraising to purchase flight ticket to Madagascar (Africa) to visit ill mother in hospital. $2000 required before Tuesday, the 13th of January. Coins, notes, handshake greatly appreciated."
Another change is that he now has a partner, apparently an ex-school chess champion herself. "Free game of 3-minute chess against former primary school girl chess champion", reads another poster. Here's a shot of her in action.
Whatever we may think of Pablo's antics, the guy is certainly living the life - just ping ponging from country to country. I understand that he's been to 36 nations over the last couple of years. Who wouldn't want to do that?

Any idea of the girl's name?
You will note that Paul Williams, aka Pablo, is listed as playing in the Queenstown Classic. Presumably that's why he needs the money by the 13th...
Hmm... with a girlfriend in tow it should read 'Madagascar 2'
Gorilla's in the mist?
I still remember his dummy spit when beaten by Andrew Brown in the Doeberl.
The cacophony in the street outside the Italo-Australian Club, along with the tears, was something to behold.
