A fun article about a pair of simultaneous exhibitions given by the sister and father of our very own curtains -- with the man himself as the "Ask an IM" lifeline each player was allowed to use once per game.

In one case, I was totally lost, and my opponent asked Greg if he should offer me a draw. Greg said, "no-crush her!", and indeed I lost that game. grrrr.

I dunno, I talked to the guy for 5 minutes. I just told him that he shouldn't take the draw, I certainly didn't say "crush her!"
