The Mascot has gone over to BDK. Or taken him hostage. Or something. Guess I should have given him that raise.

Good riddance; I don’t need him.

The legendary Blue Devil Knight is leaving the blogosphere really soon, at least for now. (”Legendary” should be understood in context, in as much as it is possible to call a personal chess blog a legend.) I was unfortunate to have caught him only during the last third of his time on the net. He held the reins of the Secretary Knight for some time and turned his site into a nexus of chess information and improvement for the Knights Errant and passing patzers alike.

The website wasn’t without controversy. Critics universally panned his decision to get rid of his spinning head.

BDK, we at LEP wish you the best in your future endeavors.

And the black glove was a nice touch.
