Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-28-04   akiba82: A brilliant game by Wall, his well known opponent having a uscf rating of 500. It has been reported that later on Greenwalt learned how all the pieces move and was able to strengthen his uscf rating to 750.
Mar-28-04   akiba82: The tournament committee comments that had Wall found the amazing queen sacrifice 5... Qg3!! he would have recieved the first brilliancy prize.
Mar-28-04   nikolaas: That's just the same! Qxg3 or Bxg3, what's the difference?
Mar-28-04   akiba82: Bill Wall must be an unusual player, he wins all his games in under twenty moves!
Apr-14-04   HailM0rphy: I think we have have found our new Morphy :)

  AgentRgent: <he wins all his games in under twenty moves!> No, just the games against patzers!

<I think we have have found our new Morphy :)> Dear God! I hope that's sarcasm!

  Knight13: I don't believe it! 4. Nc3?? !? That's terrible! Most people would play 4. Nf3. I think Greenwalt dosen't know how to play From's Gambit at all.
Oct-26-04   aw1988: And Greenwalt never played chess again.

  Knight13: <Greenwalt never played chess again> That's sad. Plus, how did you know that anyway?
Oct-28-04   aw1988: He has only one game in the database. I was half joking. Maybe he did, or maybe he didn't. Maybe he only got in the database because he played Bill Wall.

  FSR: 4.b3?? Qh4+ 5.g3 Qxg3+ 6.fxg3 Bxg3# Pantelidakis-FSR, Chicago 1974 or so (skittles).
Oct-29-09   kooley782: <AgentRegent> I find your insults quite uninformed. Wall is an amazing player, better than many IMs (including Waitzkin, Adler, and others) and does win games against masters in under 20 moves, too.
