Apr-19-06    estebanchess2: he play bad vs miguel najdorf Apr-19-06    WannaBe: How much wood can Wood push, if Wood pushed wood? Apr-19-06    Jim Bartle: And if he hung a piece and lost a won game, would Wood chuck wood across the playing hall? Apr-19-06    tamar: And if he played Ivanchuk in a battle of blunders, the announcers would say... How much more wood would Wood chuck if Ivanchuk would chuck wood? Apr-19-06    Jim Bartle: Much better. That game is referred to, of course, as Wood-Chucky. Jun-23-07    MondoBach: I can't believe I'm even joining in on this...however. If his parents had been accomodating enough to name him Charles we could have "How much Wood would Ivanchuk have chucked had Ivanchuk played Chuck Wood". Aug-16-07    wolfmaster: And,naturally, if Ivanchuk's parents had been cruel enough to name him Charles, then... How much Wood would Chucky chuck if Chucky would Chuck Wood! Aug-16-07    wolfmaster: Or, if Wood had been nauseous..(here we go again)How much Wood would Wood upchuck if Wood upchucked onto Chuck Ivanchuk?
