BEER
Germany

Beer is believed to be over 10,000 years old. Although no one knows its exact origins, some agricultural historians believe that the first beer may have been produced accidentally when a stash of grain was soaked by rain and then warmed by the sun. If this mixture were spontaneously fermented by wild, airborne yeast—which thrives in just these warm, moist conditions—beer would have been produced (Encarta).

Fermented beverages have been preferred over water throughout the ages: they are safer, provide psychotropic effects, and are more nutritious. Some have even said alcohol was the primary agent for the development of Western civilization, since more healthy individuals (even if inebriated much of the time) lived longer and had greater reproductive success. (Upenn Museum)

Jan-31-06		mack: What's all this Bob Dylan tribute nonsense I keep hearing about? What page? People can't be talking about Dylan without me!

Jan-31-06		Anatooly Homedepotov: Me neither. I've been to a few of his concerts and the guy still rocks. A cultural icon whose ageless artistry is a continual source of amazement. People who whine about his vocal shortcomings are totally missing how incredibly expressive his voice really is. He also plays chess. Be neat if some of his games were in the database.

Jan-31-06		Eric Schiller: From Gibraltar: Leading beers after 8 rounds are Gibraltar "Barbary Coast" Ale, San Miguel and Guinness.

Jan-31-06		tomh72000: 500!

Jan-31-06		tpstar: tomh makes it big 500 posts on chessgames hintza would be proud ;>D

Feb-01-06		schnarre: <Eric Schiller> Cheers! <Chess Classics>, <tomh7200> You'll make your 1000th soon enough!

Feb-01-06		mack: Thanks for the beer update, Eric. Bit of a poor performance for Rolling Rock, by the sounds of it.

Feb-01-06		tomh72000: <You'll make your 1000th soon enough!> The irony...

Feb-02-06		TheAlchemist: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." (Benjamin Franklin)

Feb-03-06		schnarre: Need one say more!?

Feb-03-06		Memorable Quotes: Finally, I have completed Game Collection: The Punishment. You're welcome to have a look!

Feb-03-06		Akavall: I think TheAlchemist/Benjamin Franklin quote should be added to beer's profile :).

Feb-03-06		PlainclothesChessman: Yes, indeed. Now if you could only guzzle beer in church as an act of worship I would attend every Sunday.

Feb-03-06		Akavall: <PlainclothesChessman> That is what <Bigfatpatzer> told me on Viswanathan Anand page. <Then there is Indra--the sun god--who relished some substance called tsumras, which is supposed to be beer.> Maybe we should worship Indra? :)

Feb-04-06		McCool: Who's Beer again??

Feb-04-06		TheAlchemist: <McCool> Beer is the "Cool" in "McCool" :-)))))

Feb-04-06		lopium: 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.c4 Nb6 4.c5 Nd5 5.Bc4 e6 6.Nc3 Nxc3 7.bxc3 Bxc5 8.d4 Be7 9.Qg4 Rg8 10.Nh3 h6 11.Bxh6 d5 12.Bb3 Na6 13.0-0 c5 14.f4 Bd7 15.Bg5 cxd4 16.Bxe7 Qxe7 17.cxd4 0-0-0 18.Rac1+ Kb8 19.Nf2 Qb4 20.Qd1 Nc7 21.Qd3 Bb5 22.Qc2 Rc8 23.Nd3 Qxd4+ 24.Nf2 Bxf1 25.Rxf1 Nb5 26.Qe2 Nc3 27.Qf3 Ne4 28.Qh5 Nxf2 29.Qh4 Nh3+ 30.Kh1 Rh8 31.Qg3 Rc3 32.Qe1 Rc1 33.Qxc1 Qg1+ white resigned, I was black.

Feb-04-06		McCool: Lol! Nicely put by the Alchemist.

Feb-04-06		TheAlchemist: <lopium> Nice! You can never have too many smothered mates :-)

Feb-04-06		aw1988: Here's something to chew on, White to play click for larger view

Feb-04-06		TheAlchemist: I don't know, the only "crazy" move seems to be exf5 (14.exf5, if I got it right, lol). A Sveshnikov trap?

Feb-04-06		aw1988: You got it. Yes, a Svesh trap, Black blunders with O-O. After exf5 Bxd5 f6 is crushing.

Feb-04-06		midknightblue: Yes! I figured it out too! I dont know how to get to this position (as white), but from here, i am golden

Feb-04-06		midknightblue: <FM Schiller> Forgive me Guiness (I was born in Ireland) but I am curious if magic hat #9 is in the games, and also if Yuengling Porter is partaking. They are the 2 BEST beers (ok, in my opinion they are,anyway).

Feb-04-06		aw1988: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Bg5 a6 8. Na3 b5 9. Bxf6 gxf6 10. Nd5 f5 11. Bd3 Be6 12. Qh5 Bg7 13. O-O O-O?? 14. exf5!
