| WhiteRook48: those two mysterious initials! |
|
Mar-12-09
|
| whiteshark: Is it <mysterious initials>, because they keep popping up again & again here on chessgames.com? |
|

| WhiteRook48: does NN stand for Nicholas Nip? Probably not. |

| whiteshark: omg, NN is now on the drop-down menue! |
|

| spudweb: This guy has a terrible records against Greco. Always loses. |

| kellmano: There are two explanations of NN's chessplaying. Together they make up two of my favourite posts on cg.com (they're from Xeroxmachine) |
|
| Mar-26-09 |
| Jim Bartle: I suspect NN is going to have his day in the sun next Wednesday as Player of the Day. |
|

| TheTamale: Not too far off, <JimBartle>. They chose the automated player Ajeeb instead. |

| Dredge Rivers: NN??? By the looks of his play, it's more like PU! :) |
|

| YoungEd: Judging from the picture, I think the reason this guy loses so often is that his ear is shaped like a question mark, the universal sign for bad moves. Not to mention that it's sort of facing the wrong way. |

| OhioChessFan: An ear? I thought that was a hearing aid. |

| GrahamClayton: Here is poor NN resigning in a winning position, against Sonnenschein at Berlin in 1937:
click for larger viewNN believed that he was going to lose his Queen, but he could have won with 1. f7+  f7 2. f1+ g8 3.f8+ f8 4. g7# |

| Phony Benoni: He probably felt like sticking that game where the Sonnen doesn't Schein. |
|
| Aug-16-09 |
| Amulet: I wonder why there is not yet a chess opening named after the NN. Like the `NN defence'. |
|
| Aug-16-09 |
| Amulet: This guy NN is even wearing earring on his dis-oriented ear, not a trademark of a serious chess player though. |

| Knight13: However, NN DID give a really good fight in this game: M Lin vs NN, 2009. |
|

|
| OhioChessFan: <GC> Leave it to NN to take one move longer to mate than he needed to. |

| Phony Benoni: He must be stronger than generally believed. After all, every great player has consented to meet him, and surely they wouldn't waste their time with a complete putz. |

| mojonera: how old is nn ? , play like 2700 |

| pawn to QB4: <how old is nn ?> I overheard a good friend of Chesterfield Chess Club - and numerous other clubs in the past - talking about one of the games in our database and he definitely said "I am NN". Up to that point I'd assumed this chap was in his 60s, but if he's NN then, obviously, considerably older. Certainly not <a complete putz>, but I can see why he'd kept his identity secret after some of the howlers he's committed over the centuries. I shall have to do the same. Current rating 193 ECF, so you see playing against the greats has taught him something. |
