 | | cu8sfan: Soon a new Bishop of Rome will be elected. Check out my newest Game Collection: Habemus Pappam! This might be especially interesting to <Sneaky> for his Game Collection: Underpromotions. |

The "chess composer" part is probably just a false rumour: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... I have seen this piece of information on other places as well. However the act that the pope will be remembered for could be his contacts with other religions (Visiting a mosque and a synagogue + forgiving for the crusades) |

Apr-08-05 | | notsodeepthought: <cu8sfan> <Soon a new Bishop of Rome will be elected. Check out my newest Game Collection: Habemus Pappam!> Very nice collection, with perhaps one minor flaw: the games with TWO promotions to bishop may not be the best analogy to the papal election. We wouldn't want two (or more) popes... which can lead to messy consequences: http://www.jeanlouie.com/Trivias/tw... |

Apr-08-05 | | Chris00nj: <cu8sfan:> Very nice collection. It's surprising that there have been that many promotions to bishops. P.S. only one 'p' in Habemus Papam! |

 | | cu8sfan: <notsodeepthought> I don't think it's a flaw of my collection. There have been cases where an elected pope died soon after being elected - for whatever reasons. Just think of Pope John Paul I! And please note that in both games where there are two promotions to a bishop the one that promoted first is taken by the opponent before the next bishop is promoted! <Chris00nj> Thanks for your help. Latin class is a long time ago! |

Apr-08-05 | | ChessMan94: HEY GUYS!!!!
This Kibitzer's Corner is for John Pope, a US Master from California. Not the Pope!!! |

 | | cu8sfan: <ChessMan94> Yeah, right! And the Oleg Romanishin page isn't for movies either... |
|
Apr-08-05 | | Chris00nj: <cu8sfan: Yeah, right! And the Oleg Romanishin page isn't for movies either...> Yes, many pages don't talk about their specific subject. At least we are discussing it on a page, that otherwise wouldn't have any comments. It's not like we picked the Nakamura page, or heaven forbid, the Kosteniuk page. |

Apr-09-05 | | notsodeepthought: <cu8sfan> <There have been cases where an elected pope died soon after being elected - for whatever reasons. Just think of Pope John Paul I!> Now, now, let's not be too cynical - I know there were rumors going around after his death about a sinister plot to get rid of him, but he was in his mid to late 60s, and he did have a high-pressure job. |

 | | lostemperor: They just elected a new pope. John pope III? |
|
Apr-19-05 | | knightspot: Bush and Kerry actually were planning a chess match, but Bush couldn't figure out how to move the pieces with the little horse heads . . |
|
Apr-19-05 | | notsodeepthought: <lostemperor> Just once I would like to see a pope choose a name that isn't on the traditional list - Hamish the First, say - though I know it won't happen. |
|
Apr-19-05 | | Stevens: <in both games where there are two promotions to a bishop> This brings to mind something i thought of a while ago. Is it possible to promote to a bishop and end up with 2 light squared bishops (ie you still have the original bishop on the board as well as the new one)? I don't remember seeing any games where this has happened but i don't ever remember reading a rule that forbids it. |

 | | lostemperor: <notsodeepthought> I'm sorry to say the name has become official: <Benedictus>, and he is the 16th with that name. Before Josef Radzinger (I hope I write this correctly) from Germany. I now see a Bishop promoted to Pope;) |
|
Apr-19-05 | | Swapmeet: <Stevens> Yes its perfectly legal, but you'd probably only do something like that to avoid a stalemate, or if you just wanted to torture your helpless opponent. |
|
Apr-19-05 | | cuendillar: Now that we have a new pope, should we discuss him under R Pope (R as in Ratzinger)? I can only say it wasn't unexpected |
|
Apr-19-05 | | Milo: Cuendillar: are you going to Mexico this summer for the Olympiad? (Your bio suggests you might be...) |
|
Apr-21-05 | | Milo: The second day of tryouts for the US team was today... let's just say I don't think I made it :). I was happy to get to USAMO though. Anyone else take it? |
|
Mar-23-06 | | vesivialvy93: cardinal Josef Ratzinger vs pope JP2 ....

Nov-20-08 | | Crocomule: Is the John Pope in Searching for B.F. based on the California master? |
|
Jun-30-09 | | cuendillar: I got a good laugh when discovering that one of the pope's titles is "primate of Italy". No wonder they seem to monkey around sometimes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope#T... |
