| Jun-27-06 | | Runemaster: <offramp: Still no news about how he died.> [BAD TASTE WARNING]: a knight fork through the heart? Realising too late he was playing in a no-draw tournament? |
 |
Sep-04-06
 | | OhioChessFan: ** Bad taste warning **
** Repeat, bad taste warning **
He was probably satisfied to draw his last breath. |
|
| Sep-04-06 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: This guy was an original Draw-nik. |
|
| Sep-07-06 | | Runemaster: <Ohio> You sicko!
People like you draw out the worst in me. |
|
Sep-07-06
 | | WannaBe: Me thinkth, this thread is too long drawn out. |
|
| Sep-08-06 | | Runemaster: <WannaBe> OK, let's agree to end the game and share the point after these 5 moves - that's the way Peter would have wanted it. |
|
| Jun-18-09 | | hedgeh0g: <a knight fork through the heart?> I thought forks had a hard time penetrating a chest of drawers... |
|
| Mar-25-11 | | kudubux: Ahhh! Did this guy teach Leko and Kramnik how to draw? |
|
| Mar-25-11 | | kudubux: But mind you, short draws save a lot of energy. I wonder where he spends it? |
|
| Jun-03-11 | | ppeti84: He died of a heart attack on the 31th of august 2003. |
|
Jul-23-13
 | | offramp: When Stoker mentions Iceland is it possible he meant the vague icy lands to the north of Europe? |
|
Jul-30-13
| | offramp: An unusual name-check, from the wikipedia article on Goulash: < Hungarian goulash variations:
Gulyás ŕ la Székely . Reduce the potatoes and add sauerkraut and sour cream ...> |
|
Nov-15-13
 | | Annie K.: The Székely are a Hungarian subgroup living in Transylvania, mostly in the Carpathian Basin, having their own traditions - culinary, dress, folklore - that differ considerably from the Hungarian "mainstream". :) It's also fairly common as a last name. |
|
| Nov-16-13 | | Granny O Doul: <It's also fairly common as a last name.> Sometimes altered to "C.K". |
|
Mar-06-14
 | | whiteshark: It's better to draw out the agony than make a painful breath. |
|
| Jan-30-15 | | minehumer: Does anyone have the games of the Capablanca Memorial tournament in 2003 where he drew all of his 13 games?If so please post it.Thanks in advance. |

However, these games would probably just clutter up the database with additional chaff.
For what they are worth, here they are.

From Chessbase's <Mega database 2013>. A collection of 23 quadrillion chess games played since 337BC. It is 98 yottabytes large so you need a big computer. |

| | offramp: <zanzibar: The PGN tag <Source "Chessbase"> is also a clue.> The pgn headers are massively longer than the games. |

| | zanzibar: <offramp> They do that because there's so few moves the game would float away otherwise. Everybody knows PGN headers are ballast:
<‘The PGN headers are ballast, sweetheart. Sheer ballast. If he didn’t have a PGN headers to hold on to, his feet would leave the ground. We’d never see our Zooey again.’> (Apologies to J.D.)

| | offramp: Yet another reference...
In the Times of London there is a very hard crossword every Saturday called The Listener Crossword. I normally have a go at it. On Saturday, 31st January 2015, the Listener Crossword was number 4331, titled 'Conduit' by Loda. Clue 22 was as follows:
<Unknown number taken in by devious sleek user of Hungarian idiots? (6)> The preamble would lead one to alter the word idiots to idioms. Directly below clue number 22 is the name Raymond Keene! A coincidence! |
