Jul-23-09		Dr. Funkenstein: shouldn't this be held in Argentina? Just kidding though, it's nice to a tournament recognizing Moishe (Miguel) and all that he accomplished in his long career

Jul-24-09		indianchessupdates: Sasikiran bad form continues he loses to the bottom ranked IM Nijat Azad Abasov AZE 2505 in the seventh round and is now on 3.5/7 For results update featuring Indian Chess Players visit http://indianchessupdates.blogspot....

Jul-24-09		Octavia: talking about names - was he called Neudorf once apon a time? What das naj mean in whatever language?

Jul-24-09		myschkin: . . . As usual, no responsibility is taken for the correctness of the details provided: a. http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/komple... shows two counties ... Mieczyslaw wasn't born in neither of them, but ... b. the southern county in the west is bordered by "Walbrzych" - in which we find a town called <Nowe Siodlo> ~ <Neue Siedlung> ~ <Neudorf> ! in German. c. e.g. on a postcard 1906 is written "Neudorf", see http://wroclaw.hydral.com.pl/206110... d. <naj> to me derivates* from this <nowe>/ <neu> and seems to be the older Silesian (?) appellation ... right, I have no idea if <dorf> ~ <siodlo> ~ <village> has such an equivalent in Silesian, too. e. <naj> has also other meanings in Yiddish: http://www.myetymology.com/yiddish/... which is another tough nut - <Nussdorf> ?! f. honestly it is all just a wild guess, based on associations rather than knowledge [nobody would have noticed lol] :S Question: is it possible to write something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_with... somehow? Several times I replaced with it with a simple l ... sorry for that. * I doubt he was ever called <Neudorf> in particular

Jul-24-09		Everett: Wonder where Tomasz Markowski is...

Jul-24-09		myschkin: . . . if I'm not mistaken he is in Dresden http://www.schachfestival.de/www_fe... http://www.schachfestival.de/www_fe...

Jul-25-09		wanabe2000: What an interesting tournament with 15 decisive games out of 35 played and with everyone having at least one win. I enjoyed this game B Socko vs Krasenkow, 2009.

Jul-25-09		angslo: < indianchessupdates: Sasikiran bad form continues he loses to the bottom ranked IM Nijat Azad Abasov AZE 2505 in the seventh round and is now on 3.5/7 For results update featuring Indian Chess Players visit http://indianchessupdates.blogspot....; sasi needs to work on his consistence and stability.

Jul-26-09		slomarko: in the last round all games were drawn. congratulations to Wojtaszek for winning the Najdorf Memorial 2009!

Jul-26-09		percyblakeney: Well done by Wojtaszek, slightly disappointing result by Sasikiran, and Nyb�ck sharing last was surprising but then he didn't face Carlsen here :-)

Jul-27-09		gus inn: <myschkin> in Germany there is a town called Quickborn. Says something about the conditions after WW2 , doesn�t it !?

Jul-27-09		whiteshark: LOL, <gus inn> <Quickborn> is a small town (20k inhabs.) situated some 20 km north of Hamburg. It's foundation is dated back to 1323. :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickb... http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickb... http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickb...

Jul-27-09		gus inn: <whiteshark< OK man , I stand corrected - OR I meant the famous war between Willhemshafen und Hamburg situated 132o-1322.And then came the americans.. Or the english - dont recall for the moment :)

Jul-27-09		myschkin: . . . time check: lunch finished status: fed up ~ �berfressen? ;) target: <gus inn> mission: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=B... PS: anybody from f�:�? Austria around? http://www.absoluterandom.com/11-we...
