 | | HeMateMe: Is that for real? Did one win a double cole slaw, for a brilliancy prize? Wasn't the guy who ran the chicken tournaments a chess enthusist named Jose cuchi, or someting like that? I guess church chicken got blown out of the water by the Colenol. I never did like that deep fried stuff. |

 | | kingfu: Greetings , fellow LC fans.
I am a geezoid-American. That would be OLD. When you get old, hair does NOT grow in the appropriate places anymore. You have CHIA eye brows. You have rain forest ears. Do I have to make ANY analogies for what is growing in my nose? Why is god......GOD?
Because he did not get involved with the warranty program. |

| Mar-02-11 | | shadowleaf04: GM Larry Christiansen is one of the few players who went from NM to GM, bypassing the intermediate title of IM. Also, he is one of the best attacking players in the world today. |

| | kingfu: Absolutely correct, shadow.
I played LC in a simul in Seattle and got wrapped up in a nice little package with a bow on top in 20 moves. In my defense, I was trying to play The Morozevich French. This was about 3 years after Moro was born. Actually, Botvinnik played it way back when and was successful. I was not. 1. e4 e6
2. d4 d5
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Bg5 PxP
5. NxP Be7
6. BxN PxB
and in another 14 moves , I was on the bus to Boise. |

| | kingfu: Yo, Christiansen
I want a re-match. I have some vacation coming, soon. I am going to Memphis. Then I am going to do Highway 61 Revisited to New Orleans. Jude Acers shall be first. Where you at, Larry? |

| | kingfu: Come on Larry.
Let us play CHESS!
You were born in Riverside, California.
There is an Italian Family that moved there from Chicago. Romano's Pizza. They make the best pizza in LA. I will meet you there and will we eat some Pizza Pie. AND we will play some CHESS!! |

| Jun-27-11 | | I play the Fred: On most dudes, the mustache is an appalling anti-fashion statement. In Larry C's case, the exact opposite is true. Grow the 'stache back Larry! |

 | | TheBish: Happy birthday Larry! Born in '56, and now 56. Somebody should update your bio, to mention that you are one of just a few players (don't know who the others are, but the list is short) to bypass the IM title on the way to getting the GM title. I enjoyed hanging with you while you lived in Modesto (my hometown), and beating you in a simul in Reno (albeit with a blunder on your part). I look forward to playing you again, whether in a simul or the upcoming US Open (stranger things have happened). Going to study your book "Storming the Barricades" again -- maybe it will help me finally make Master! |

 | | Chess for life: <RookFile: He's been giving free simuls in South Station in Boston lately.> Yeah, I went yesterday. Obviously I lost, but I understand there's only about one winner each time, out of about 30 opponents (there's a maximum of 25 boards going on at once at any given moment, but some people replace players who've already lost). Simul-givers are pretty unbelievable, don't know how they do it. Here is my game. I thought he was going to mate me shortly after the end of the opening, but it turns out his win was a little slower than that. I'm surprised at how long I lasted. [Event "Larry Christiansen simul"]

| | waustad: I was glad to see his name playing in the world Cup. He's the 95th seed playing Laurent Fressinet in the first round. If nothing else it is nice seeing somebody with his name playing in Scandanavia. |
