 | | Sneaky: <off topic> ... Great avatar WTHarvey. Have you ever seen the movie Microcosmos? It's a very well made documentary about insects, and the scene that sticks in my mind the most is the hilarious exploits of a tiny little dung beetle. |
|
| Mar-10-05 | | WTHarvey: <Sneaky> :-) They're persistant little guys! |
|
| Mar-10-05 | | kakt: I seriously believe Konstantinopolski is the greatest chess player to walk this earth! |
|

|
| Mar-10-05 | | Kingsandsquares: I don't get it... |
|
| Mar-10-05 | | kakt: I'm terribly sorry. ;(
That was sarcasm. |
|
| Mar-11-05 | | FLCLlove: LOL I did........ |
|
| Jul-21-05 | | Jafar219: <iron maiden: Awesome name too! Constantinople was one of the greatest cities of all time!> Istanbul (Turkey) used to be called Constantinople and you are right it`s great city. |
|
| Jul-21-05 | | OneBadDog: Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks

| Jul-28-05 | | 12929011: I think Dr. Worm, James K. Polk, and Birdhouse in Your Soul are their best songs. |
|
| Jul-28-05 | | nikolaas: <OBD> They changed it because it became an english colony (instead of a dutch one). |
|
| Jul-28-05 | | SEMENELIN: Did Alexander invented the Konstantinopolsky opening??? The one that will eliminate your opponent in 5 moves?? |
|
| Jul-28-05 | | 12929011: I thought that opening wasn't so good... |
|
| Oct-09-05 | | BaiKosta: Konstantinopolsky is a greek guy.His parents were among the greeks who left the Byzantine empire after the fall of Constantinople on the 29th May 1453.For me and for all orthodox Christians the city will be always Konstantinopolis.By the way the name Istanbul comes from greek "eis tin polin" which means "towards the city". Turk took this name because when they were conquering the Byzantine empire ,they asked the local peasants where are leading the roads and they just said "eis tin polin" -"towards the city".All roads lead to Konstantinopol because this city was center not only of the greek civilization but center of the world as well. |
|
| Jan-03-06 | | whoopsi: < SEMENELIN: Did Alexander invented the Konstantinopolsky opening??? The one that will eliminate your opponent in 5 moves?? > Can anyone tell me anything about this openning? I can't find much info on it. |
