< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-09-10    watwinc: Yes, there was a Zeppo. Also a Gummo. Aug-09-10    edbermac: < Marmot PFL: Don't remember him, just Chico, Harpo and Groucho. > I thought it was Moe, Larry and Curly. Aug-09-10    suenteus po 147: <edbermac> You're thinking of Iggy and the Stooges. Aug-11-10    Willem Wallekers: I've also heard of a Karl Marx. Aug-12-10    HeMateMe: This is a memorial tournament for the sixth Marks brother, the one from Hungary, who didn't get to be in the movies. Aug-12-10    Chessforeva: 3D games: W:http://chessforeva.appspot.com/C0_t... M:http://chessforeva.appspot.com/C0_t... Aug-12-10    Open Defence: I heard they forgot about the Groucho Marx Memorial... Aug-13-10    twinlark: There was a sixth Marx brother besides Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo and Gummo...namely Manny who died in 1886 aged 7 months before the others were born. Aug-13-10    wordfunph: -1 for Timman after 6 rounds.. come on Jan! Aug-14-10    percyblakeney: Another loss for Timman, in 26 moves with white this time, but he stays ahead of Robson who lost his third in a row today. Aug-14-10    percyblakeney: Robson-Acs is worth a look once it is added, a couple of early piece sacrifices from Acs. Aug-15-10    unsound: It looks like Robson has good chances to leapfrog Timman today. Aug-15-10    percyblakeney: In the women's section 69-year-old Nona Gaprindashvili shares the lead with one round to go. Aug-15-10    percyblakeney: Only one move seems to win for Timman, but he had seen enough Monday puzzles to play Qd5: click for larger view He blundered a few moves later though, and not in time trouble but after thinking for ten minutes: click for larger view Bc4 simply threatens to queen on f1 and wins immediately but after careful consideration Timman chose Bd5, after which Robson had Be2 and might even win this now. Aug-15-10    unsound: Thanks <pb>. That did not go anything like as I anticipated, but Robson did indeed win. Aug-15-10    percyblakeney: <Robson did indeed win> Yes, his taking chances and avoiding the draw earlier in the game paid off in the end, but a bit sad to see a once great player like Timman think for so long and fail to find a move like Bc4 in that last diagram... Aug-15-10    unsound: Agreed; I was hoping Robson would do well, but not because of something like that from a former great. Aug-15-10    Mameluk: Quite a one man show, isn´t it? Aug-16-10    Don Cossacks: Laznicka on hot winning streak. Aug-16-10    percyblakeney: Laznicka finished what was an excellent event for him with an underpromotion against Robson. Aug-16-10    percyblakeney: Timman finally got a win, he must have been unhappy with the blunder against Robson and suddenly played as in the good old days, beating 2700+ Almasi. Aug-16-10    Astardis: Gaprindashvili won the women's tournament. Quite impressive, sort of a female Korchnoi! Aug-16-10    HeMateMe: The NONA-mater! Aug-17-10    rick77: what is happening to robson, losing 6 games!!!
