60 minutes ran a great special last night on a chess teacher in rural Mississippi.

Is that Liv Tyler, with him?

At 1:04 it says "Liv Tyler" on the screen. Pretty weird if it's not her.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I've been watching a lot of youtube videos made by Simon Williams aka Ginger GM aka "the poor man's Shirov."

He's very entertaining and I've learned a lot from him. He's an expert in the Dutch defense and I've won some games against stronger players down at the coffeehouse with it.

Sometimes he's drinking, sometimes he's cursing, and sometimes he's hungover chomping on dried Icelandic fish while playing blitz. Worth a look if you're in the cult!
