[edit] old talk

The link Bob Wade is to a different person with the same name. I don't know what to do to fix it.

Amusingly (or annoyingly, I'm not sure), the article at Robert Wade is also not about the chess player. I'll try to sort it all out.

Incidentally, while I'm here: the article says that Speelman "is also known as "Spess", short for "specimen", one of the many misspellings of his name in the press over the years." Is this really correct? My memory is that "specimen" was the suggested word you got if you put his name into certain spellcheckers (I remember doing this was a recurring theme in Mike Fox and Richard James' Addicts Corner column in Chess Monthly a few years ago). "Specimen" seems a rather unlikely misspelling to me. --Camembert
