  Gypsy: <Gregor Samsa Mendel: It has to be a dead draw now.> Maybe the draw is not completely dead yet. White should play on.

  Gypsy: Just kidding ff course: Black king goes to c7; then stays put while Black bishop temporizes.

Seriously? In the final position, if I were playing black, and Carlsen were playing white, it would still end up drawn.

  OneArmedScissor: < Arcturus: imo = In My Opinion imho = In My Humble Opinion>

actually it's "in my honest opinion"

  dakgootje: The exact meaning of the h in imho depends on who you are asking. Humble, honest, holy, high.. Suppose it might tell something about the character of said person.

In any case, 'humble' is the most accepted meaning.

  JohnBoy: <OneArmed> - I go with "humble" - but your message points out that these definitions are not etched in stone. LOL = laugh out loud = lots of love = ...

IMHO, maybe you should check your facts before taking it upon yourself to correct others.

Urban Dictionary says....

<In My Humble Opinion>

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...

They list "honest" only as a connotation in the second of three definitions.
