 | | tpstar: <FSR> Here on your player page, right under the "Search Google" line, there should be a blue box which contains this: NOTE: Our records indicate that you are Frederick Rhine. Because of this, your account has been extended with certain administrative controls over the discussion on this page. Consult the Administrative Manual for help. This means you have direct Moderating power over this page. If you don't see this message, contact the Administrators. =) |

 | | FSR: Thanks, <tpstar>, but I see no such box. I guess I'll have to contact the admins if I want to obtain this power. |

| | tpstar: <FSR> It is completely optional. You could always obtain that power, then choose not to use it, like Harry Potter. :-) Kibitzers with player pages were given Moderating ability in 2007, after Nigel Short joined the site. All of the posts will have the blue "delete" prompt under the avatar or date, and you may delete anything and everything you want, violation or not. Posts must be removed one at a time (also thanks to Nigel Short ;>D), and the site maintains a private log of what you delete. Anyone on your ignore list is blocked from your chessforum, but nobody is blocked from your player page. So your friend has no reason to brag. =) |

Here are the first six winners of the Special Candidates' Matches Chess Promotional Giveaway: On Facebook, here are the first three winners:
Frederick Rhine
Freddy Lansky
Sara James>
It was a scam. I wrote to Susan immediately after seeing this on her blog, giving my contact information. She told me that I had won a copy of Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual. A month later, not having received it, I sent another e-mail inquiring about it. She responded that the supplier wanted to send the prizes out after all of the Candidates' Matches were over, and that I should receive it soon. I never received the book. I have sent two e-mails to Susan since then asking about it. I have received no response. Apparently Susan's word counts for as much as those Nigerian guys who claim to want one's help getting several million dollars out of the country. |

| Nov-17-11 | | theagenbiteofinwit: Well Mr. Rhine, we have another addition to the chessplaying lawyer fraternity. Miodrag Perunovic: Miodrag Perunovic has just passed the bar and is ready to practice in Serbia. In two and a half years, I hope to join the club. |

 | | HeMateMe: To pass the Bar, you have to be able to mate with Bishop and Knight. |

| | FSR: Congratulations to Mr. Perunovic! Best of luck, <theagenbiteofinwit>! <HeMateMe: To pass the Bar, you have to be able to mate with Bishop and Knight.> That is a high bar for chessplayers, let alone lawyers. About 38 years ago, I saw the young Alberto A Artidiello do so in a tournament game. His opponent kindly ran toward the wrong corner with his king. If you've played over my problem (see User: FSR, which has the problem and a link to the solution), you know that bishop and <two> knights can't always beat a lone king. |

| Jan-23-12 | | King Death: <FSR:..Apparently Susan's word counts for as much as those Nigerian guys who claim to want one's help getting several million dollars out of the country.> This sounds like the email I got a few days ago with the header claiming that I'd won almost a million British pounds in some lottery or other. If only. That got the insta delete button. There are some interesting games here, I'll have to venture into them. |

| | FSR: <Dredge Rivers> My father's name is Charles Clyde Rhine - three rivers. |

 | | perfidious: Why is <FSR> not on the CG list of noted players? |
|
Sep-13-12
 | | Phony Benoni: <perfidious> Reverse psychology. It's the same tactic Lincoln used to immortalize the Gettysburg Address, by saying it would be little noted nor long remembered. |
|
Sep-13-12
| | FSR: <perfidious: Why is <FSR> not on the CG list of noted players?> Dunno. I see that it includes Alan Shaw and A.J. Goldsby. |
|
Sep-13-12
| | perfidious: <FSR> Inclusion of the former is beyond understanding (mine, anyway); as to the latter, such a list would be a travesty without that august presence. |
|
Sep-13-12
| | FSR: <perfidious> True. The original Fischer is on the list, after all. It would be sacrilege to omit the Florida version. Speaking of Florida, I've always wondered: if a denizen of Chicago is a Chicagoan, what is someone who lives in Tampa? |
|
Sep-13-12
 | | TheFocus: <what is someone who lives in Tampa?> Well, I know one who could be called a Tampainintheass, except that he's from Pensacola. |
|
Sep-13-12
| | FSR: Do residents of a state that resembles a body part tend to act in the manner associated with a person referred to as being that body part? |
|
Sep-13-12
| | TheFocus: <what is someone who lives in Tampa?> Surely Tampon suggests itself. |

 | | Infohunter: <He and chessgames.com co-founder Alberto A Artidiello were teammates on the chess team at Lane Tech High School in Chicago...> What a small world! For about sixteen years or so I worked with a man who went to Lane Tech, Class of 1950. |
|
Oct-10-12
| | FSR: <Infohunter> It's a big school - around 1000 graduates a year, I think. Anyone who lives in the Chicago area is very likely to know someone who attended Lane. |
|
Oct-10-12
 | | andrewjsacks: <FSR> Right. I agree. |
|
Oct-12-12
| | Infohunter: <FSR> Yes, come to think of it I met a couple in the supermarket in 2001, struck up a chance conversation, and found out that the man was a Lane Tech graduate, class of 1960--and this was in Southern California. (What did we have to talk about? My father was from Chicago.) |

| | FSR: <TheFocus: <what is someone who lives in Tampa?> Surely Tampon suggests itself.>
If someone lived in Oregon, then moved to Tampa, would it be correct to say, "He used to be an Oregano but now he's a Tampon."? |

| | FSR: That gaudy 2498 peak rating that CG.com is showing was a USCF correspondence rating. |
