An Englishman Member since May-31-04 · Last seen May-25-13 I'm a long since retired former master (but never particularly good) whose opening repetoire consisted of the English, Nimzo-Indian and Caro-Kann. I now pursue a career in film, theater and television as an actor, playwright, screenwriter, director, producer and Web content creator.

May-19-13 Yifan Hou vs Lahno, 2012    An Englishman: Good Evening: Believe it or not, I thought that White had to find some means of salvaging a draw! So I found the game continuation, and concluded that Black would have to settle for perpetual check after 38...Qh5+. I presume that White can escape the checks, but how?      May-18-13 Karjakin vs Topalov, 2013    An Englishman: Good Morning: I didn't think White could play Nd2 because Black would just snap off the d-pawn. Oh, well; wrong again. Looking at 48.c4. If that's sound, Black becomes awkwardly placed on the Queen side and the h-pawn becomes weak with or without the minor piece exchange.      May-17-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013    An Englishman: Good Morning: White still needs to relocate the Bishop on e4, so 56.Qf7 and 57.Qg6+ should decide.      May-14-13 Anand vs Karjakin, 2013    An Englishman: Good Morning: That was rather a scare. The temperature of my computer went from 115F to 170F in only three minutes. Quit my browser, watched the temperature go from 170F to 115F in only three minutes. Relaunched browser, all is well. Puzzling, but well. Meanwhile, what do you ...      May-14-13 J L Hammer vs Wang Hao, 2013    An Englishman: Good Evening: I wonder if these last two rounds indicate that Mr. Hammer has acclimated to Super-GM chess tournaments.      May-12-13 Pillsbury vs Lasker, 1904    An Englishman: Good Evening: Perhaps too famous a game for a Sunday puzzle, but still worth playing over, again and again, just to study the power of the initiative, the ability to make threats. Lasker is perpetually one move away from consolidating, but Pillsbury keeps the attack rolling ...      May-05-13 Rubinstein vs Spielmann, 1912    An Englishman: Good Evening: My favorite Spielmann game. His opponent isn't a lesser light, it's Akiba Rubinstein, and it isn't just any Akiba Rubinstein, it's *the* Akiba Rubinstein during the best year of his life. Indeed, one should remember that Rubenstein won this tournament.      May-05-13 V Buenermann vs K Mokry, 1998    An Englishman: Good Evening: I think puzzlers must foresee the second move to claim full credit; nonetheless, this was far too easy for a Sunday. Drat it all; if I hadn't flubbed Friday, would have gone 7/7 for the week.      May-02-13 N Grandelius vs L Pantsulaia, 2011   An Englishman: Good Evening: Found this whilst exploring our Opening of the Day for 2 May 2013. The gambit is well known; 9...h5!? appears only in this game in our database. Black goes to much trouble to open the h-file only to castle King side and then sacrifice a Rook on a1. Not convinced ...      Apr-26-13 Janowski vs Lasker, 1909    An Englishman: Good Evening: I already knew this game, so no credit to me. Soltis discusses the position after 22.R5g4 at great length in his book on defense in chess. Whilst Alapin pays no attention to 22...g6, Soltis treats it as the most important move of the game, making White's Rooks ...      Apr-24-13 Karjakin vs Mamedyarov, 2013     Apr-21-13 Kasimdzhanov vs

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 5 OF 5 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-16-09    An Englishman: Good Evening: <JFQ>, between the stout, resolute blackguard-packing gentlemen and the fine quality medical care your avatar provides, I don't think we'll have any trouble. Feb-16-09    everyone else: Good Afternoon: I will also be attending. It will be very nice to see you both. A nice fire, a glass of Guinness, and Linares.... Feb-16-09    jessicafischerqueen: Good Morning: Sorry for spamming but I'm very excited about watching Linares games live-- And I'm also excited you will be there. Please don't pay attention to that <everyone else> ID- that's actually me. Whenever I lose a game of chess I often sign in as "everyone else" and complain to my friends. Ok- see you at Linares1! Feb-17-09    An Englishman: Good Evening: <JFQ>, you are *not* a spammer. At first, I was puzzled by your second account name, but now it all makes sense: there's Her Majesty jessicafischerqueen; and then there's everyone else! Sep-12-09    newzild: Good morning, An Englishman - I have a question for you: Is it always evening when you post? Sep-16-09    An Englishman: Good Evening: No, not always, <newzild>; the sun never sets on the British Empire. Oct-03-09    Phony Benoni: <An Englishman> Good evening. A couple of days ago, commenting on the game Kasparov vs Deep Blue, 1996, you wrote: <Good Evening: I once played White in a casual game where my e-pawn did not move during the entire affair (45 moves). Here, White's e-pawn doesn't move until 61.exf3. Any game at least as long as this where the e-pawn doesn't move at all?> I have finally gotten around to doing a bit of research, and am please to offer you these two games: Gelfand vs Macieja, 2001 (Black pawn on e7 after 118 moves) Radulescu vs Boleslavsky, 1953 (White pawn on e2 after 115 moves) As for the latest first move of an e-pawn: N Birnboim vs D Gurevich, 1982, where in this position: click for larger view White finally got around to playing 121.e4. Oct-03-09    technical draw: Thanks for those games <Phony>. Amazing 121.e4! Oct-07-09    Deus Ex Alekhina: Hullo, English! So lucky of you to be able to enjoy limey "delicacies" such as: blood pudding, kidney pie, toad-in-the-hole, bubble & squeak, along with the Scot's haggis. Just the thought makes me feel peckish! Care for a nosh? Toodles. Oct-07-09    LIFE Master AJ: E Limp vs A Rodriguez, 2001 <<<< Oct-04-09 <An Englishman:> Good Evening:> Too easy, as was Saturday's.> After two months of going 3/7 or 4/7, this week was my first 7/7 in almost a year.> I'll never understand chess.> CONGRATS!!! "I'll never understand chess." Me neither! Oct-08-09    An Englishman: Good Evening: <Deus Ex Alekhina>, since I can't seem to post anything at your forum, I'll have to reply here with four simple words: Don't Forget The Curries! Oct-08-09    Deus Ex Alekhina: Hullo,English! Sorry, old chap, but I don't have a forum - it would be about food (of course), if I did. What's your favorite feeding hole in Piccadilly Circus? Toodles. Oct-15-09    An Englishman: Good Evening: <Deus Ex Alekhina>, I'm afraid you've caught me out--it's been so many years since I lived in England that I've forgotten the lyrics to "You'll Never Walk Alone." Not that I haven't thought about a return some day, but frankly, Brick Lane is probably more my sort of eating. Oct-16-09    LIFE Master AJ: You are welcome. (And my little comment here gets my own award for "Best use of CG color.") May-02-10    David2009: Good morning, a follow-up to your comment on Estrin vs J Boey, 1987 White to play 36?: click for larger view Against Crafty (see link below), both the game line 36 Ra1 and your line 36 Nd4 will win, but Crafty finds a crafty stalemate defence in the main 36 Ra1 line. So winning may be easier using your move 36 Rd4. Enjoy playing through the alternatives! http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t... Nov-26-10    David2009: <An Englishman:> (O Almeida vs P Zarnicki, 2002) [snip] <proving that one means of avoiding playing bad moves is not to see them.> I like it! Mar-23-11    YourNickname: <An Englishman> You are awesome! Jun-04-11    Mozart72: <An Englishman> You are welcomed to my chessforum. Jul-29-11    WannaBe: Good evening, If my memory serves, you are/were living in N. California, I will soon be relocating to San Mateo county area, and would not mind meeting some of the CG.com members. If, however, you have moved, and/or my faulty memory chip is wrong, kindly disregard this message in its entirety. Sincerely Oct-13-11    WannaBe: I replied on my forum, but unfortunately, forgotten to post it here, I'll be absolutely tickled pink and delighted to have a meeting/lunch/drink. Please e-mail me, kstc_jyu at yahoo.com, please, do mention cg.com in case your message ended in my spam box. p.s. I responded to your message weeks ago. =) Oct-13-11    WannaBe: p.s.s. I am free this weekend, nothing going on at work, unless all of our servers decide to suffer a major power failure and crap out on me. May-14-12    El Trueno: Hi! I would like to play chess against you 'cause I like your comments :) it would be helpful for me 'cause I'm studying english at school etc.. :) Sep-03-12    Tal7777777: Happy labor day! Sep-10-12    Abdel Irada: <An Englishman>: Are you by any chance in New York? ;-) Dec-05-12    ChessYouGood: It's ever oh so great to read your profile old chum. In particular, it's lovely to see I am not the only actor, playwright, screenwriter, director and producer around here. I am currently working on "Driving Miss Daisy II: Who's in the Boot?" at the moment. Perhaps we can collaborate!
