NEWSFLASH!

ELEPHANT EATS AUTHOR The great chess author and libertine, Paul Wiseman, has,

reportedly, been eaten by Jumbo the Performing Elephantduring his visit to Inner Mongolia. Local witnesses wereshocked as Jumbo had never eaten a whole human before.Happily, to date, Jumbo has had no adverse after effects tothe feast.

As many chess players are aware, Paul is famous forinventing the Alzheimer (What was my last move?) Attackand the Kamikaze Attack. Sadly, many of his most brilliantlosses are unavailable as he never remembered where heput the score sheets!

Equally, with soccer, Paul was famous for his idiosyncraticfootball refereeing. He would give yellow cards for spittingon the pitch and a red card for clearing ones nostrils withoutbenefit of a tissue.

Admirers of Paul's works are now entreated to purchasehis ebooks so that his relatives can afford to bring his remainsback to Devon for proper internment.
