'Shermanesque' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shermanesque_statement - I remember when LBJ made a 'Shermanesque' statement when he decided not to seek reelection. - :]

quantity rather than quality: that's what @mrpushwood taught us to hate

The set of al currently sufficient Pushwood successors = the null set, which is unique.

However, there are perhaps some, a precious few, standing in the wings as possible "Pushwoods-in-waiting," who might, in time, ripen into truly Pushwoodian stature.

I can't be certain of that, because those are some mighty big boots to fill. And I will not name those inspiring and well-written individuals whom I suspect to have such long-term potential excellence, because I would not wish to make them blush upon receiving such high praise.

But in the best-of-all-possible-worlds, Pushwood would remain, unreplaced.

any American or Scotsman chess player with a sense of humor and a chess title would be able to do that. Above all, it was the reactions he provoked that mades him unique.

given the tone of your message, I have serious fears regarding his possible return. do you have any info on that?

@CSKA_Moscou , I have no information about that at all. So no need to feel worried because of anything I say. Ever.

the problem is not that I am worried, but that this is the result of my unconscious which asks me to ask a question which is only the question of the previous question without wanting to ask for an answer to the three, since the three questions do not deserve a rhetorical response. in short, everything is fine
