My cat is the best. Just as a side question how many norms have you scored so far, DawgH?

My cat beat me , but lost to Ralph Barker at the Scottish Congress.

The most famous cat chess game in the history of cat chess?

Catablanca v Moggyubolov

(there is no score because the games was scratched).

If God plays the Grob, all major world religions are in deep trouble.
