Benzol Member since Jul-02-03 Commander John J Adams : " Morbius, what is the Id? " Dr Edward Morbius : " It's an obsolete term. I'm afraid once used to describe the elementary basis of the subconscious mind. " Hi, I'm Paul Morten and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been playing Chess for over thirty years (and still haven't got it right yet). My father ( Peter Morten ) taught me the moves when I was aged about ten. (He's now a venerable 83-year old). I didn't really get "Chess Fever" until the Fischer-Spassky match in Iceland in 1972. My first chess heroes were Spassky, Fischer, Marshall, Alyekhin and Capablanca but with more maturity I'm much more appreciative of Lasker, Chigorin, Niemzowitsch, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Keres, Nezhmetdinov, Petrosian, Kasparov and many others. Collecting chess books since 1972 I now possess a chess library I'm sure any club would be proud of. Many game submissions to the database have been made from these books. Up to 25th June 2012 submissions number 4,416 games (this total will continue to grow with time). I'm fascinated by Chess History and the players who make it so what follows is a large list of important tournaments played in the 19th and 20th Centuries. These collections have been compiled by a number of members of chessgames.com and I'm extremely grateful to them and thank them for their efforts. 1.Game Collection: WCC Index (London 1851) 2.Game

<chessgames.com> <IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT> <As most devoted Chessgames members know, the Kibitzing areas of Chessgames--like any large internet forum--have had their share of flame wars. Vitriolic exchanges fly back and forth between people who scarcely know each other. Lately, one of them in particular has become very visible, spilling onto pages of all sorts of classic games. This longstanding problem has now proliferated to the extent that nearly every Chessgames member has been exposed to it. Lately, the Chessgames.com admins have had a flood of complaints, and as a result they've deleted many messages. We decided to start to keep score, and determine exactly which members are the cause of most of our disturbances. Not surprisingly, we found that the same names crop up again and again. Now we're prepared to take extraordinary measures to try to stamp out this flame war: we have now placed a number of members on kibitzing probation. All of these individuals have been identified as the main participants of this flame war. There are seven of them (at current count) and all been placed on kibitzing probation for one week, in what we call a "cooling off period". They are as follows: <Colonel Mortimer>, <JoergWalter>, <LIFE Master AJ>, <Nemesistic>, <Robed.Bishop>, <SimonWebbsTiger>, and <TheFocus>. We hope that when this week is over, some degree of civility is restored. The primary rule broken by all of these individuals is rule 3, "No personal attacks against other users", the rule tailor-made to discourage flame wars. However, many of the deleted posts were also guilty of rule 1 (obscenity) and rule 3 (spamming/duplicating posts). We are not going to address the infractions on a post-by-post basis, but if you are earnestly confused at our posting policies, contact us at chesschessgames.com, and we'll be happy to clarify your question. During this cooling off period, our admins will continue to clean up some of the mess created during the past few months. However, they aren't going to try to bail water out of a leaking boat. If any antagonist tries to revive the flame war during this period, he or she will be placed on kibitzing probation without compunction. We know that some people will have many more questions, so a list of notes is compiled below. Other questions are best addressed directly to chesschessgames.com. • The following individuals were not placed on the list in spite of identified posting violations. They are instead hereby issued warnings: <King Death>, <KKDEREK>, <Rob Lob Law>, and <theagenbiteofinwit>. • The "cooling off period" extends from 12:00am midnight, Monday, February 27 to 12:00am midnight, Monday, March 5. • This list is not perfect. There may be one or two people on it who don't deserve to be there. Meanwhile, there are surely people who deserve to be on it, yet aren't mentioned. So it goes. • If you are on probation and want to communicate to an administrator for any reason, contact chesschessgames.com. Do NOT create an alternate account for any reason whatsoever. • If you are on probation and feel a great need to voice your opinion about this matter in public, you have only two sanctioned methods: 1. Post something on your "bio" area, so that people can read it if they choose to pull up your profile page. 2. wait a week. • If any member attempts to subvert this one week cooling off period by registering a second "sockpuppet" account, or using a sockpuppet account already established, they will be subject to an extended (if not indefinite) probation. Finally, let us remind everybody that the purpose of this action is not to single out specific members, nor to "make an example" of out anybody, but rather to restore civility and decency to the forums. Please help us accomplish that goal by contributing to a peaceful Chessgames, in whatever way you are inclined.>

Benzol has kibitzed 9244 times to chessgames   [less...]

May-20-13 Kibitzer's Café    Benzol: ALERT!! ALERT!! Somebody in Tampa Bay, Florida is the owner of a ticket that has won $590 million ( yes that's million ) in a lottery. Just heard this on the BBC World News. If you've got a ticket purchased at the named placed get it checked out. You could be the winner. :)      May-20-13 R J Dive vs Q Johnson, 2013    Benzol: When I first saw this game I found it rather amazing that Black's 19...Be5 loses.

Monsters From The Id

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 74 OF 74 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-07-12    jessicafischerqueen: For your consideration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp4m... There seems to be no end to McTeagle's poetic invention. "My new chequebook hasn't arrived" was followed up by the brilliantly allegorical "What's 20 quid to the Bloody Midland Bank," and his prize winning poem to the Arts Council: "Can you lend me a thousand quid." Dec-11-12    Phony Benoni: <Benzol> Some consolation for all the problems with Nuremberg (1896): it's used as one of the examples of an historical tournament page in the current <chessgames> newsletter. Dec-11-12    Benzol: <PB> Thanks Dave. I didn't know that until I read your post. I haven't looked at my e-mails for a wee while. I'm also having a bit of trouble with the link <Jess> posted in the last post. One of these days I must get broadband and get off dial-up. :) Dec-14-12    WannaBe: Dear <Benzol>, I saw your posts in the Cafe and CG's forum, I regret to inform you as of last March, I have sold the joint. I am now back in the corporate world, and moved from Long Beach CA to San Mateo CA. But everyone is still welcome to visit me, we'll just have to hangout at someone else's joint. =)) Dec-24-12    wordfunph: Maligayang Pasko! Dec-25-12    TheFocus: Merry Christmas! Dec-25-12    mckmac: Merry Christmas Paul,Jonathon, and Richard! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgzW... Dec-25-12    Benzol: <wordfunph>, <TheFocus>, and <mckmac> thanks for the Christmas greetings. I was with the family yesterday so didn't see your messages until now. Best to you all for the New Year. Dec-25-12    chancho: Merry Christmas, <Benzol>! Dec-31-12    Annie K.: Happy New Year, <Benzol>! :) Dec-31-12    TheFocus: Happy New Year <Benzol>!! Jan-01-13    Richard Taylor: <Benzol> I suppose you heard about the NY's eve murder - it happened right at the bottom of my street! Vic and I had to divert on our walk... Even today detectives were doing forensic work so I had to go around on my way to Pak 'n Save... The NZ Champs is on live (it's at Wellington.) Top 3 or 4 games are live. Happy New Year! (Sounds satirical when I look at the events of NY's eve here...) Jan-05-13    perfidious: <Benzol> Paul, this is in reference to your post at Rolf Wetzell's page; felt it was better to respond in your forum, rather than take things too far astray over there. For several months now, I have submitted no games, as there seemed little point, what with a number of submissions from late summer (here, anyway!) not having shown up as yet. One would imagine that the admins have better things to do than be pestered about that! In any case, my attitude towards submissions is expressed in my kibitzes at NN vs T McCracken, 2007 . I don't propose to waste others' time by posting games where either opponent played in execrable fashion. Mar-28-13    suenteus po 147: <Benzol>, <Phony Benoni>, <WannaBe>, et al: Okay, so what have I missed? Mar-28-13    WannaBe: <suenteus po 147> Not much, besides your avatar. =)) Mar-28-13    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Yeah.... It looks like I'll have to buy myself a new subscription next week. I wonder if the old one is gone? It's all right. It's probably time for a change anyway. Mar-28-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: Our GameKnot team (jww chessforum) has your avatar at the moment; I'm sure <nescio> will give it back to you :-) Mar-28-13    suenteus po 147: <SwitchingQuylthulg> That's kind of sweet...and also a bit odd. It feels a little like I've become the team mascot. Mar-28-13    Phony Benoni: <suenteus po 147>: Concerning your avatar: jww chessforum Apr-12-13    Richard Taylor: <Benzol> Did you know that Bobby Cheng is now an IM? He won the Australian Open and beat a GM or two I think. Luke Li also has an IM norm after beating a GM. Need more of his recent / better games on his page. Cheers. Apr-13-13    Richard Taylor: I'm gradually uploading more of my games I uploaded my win over Peter Stuart in one of the Georges. I don't mind uploading losses but the games have to be good. no point loading up rubbish games whether I win lose or draw. So if the game overall by myself and my opponent is interesting or well enough played etc I will upload it whether I win lose or draw. And in no order so I am not "targeting" rivals as it is obvious I hope that if I have a game where I have won, I have certainly also been thrashed or drawn with that player in other games. Naturally, however, there is a strange urge to load one's wins first! Apr-25-13    nescio: <Benzol: Peter unlike you and Dave I'm not savvy about Buerger pairings.> I can only suppose you mean the Berger pairings - http://www.tournamentdirector.co.uk... Quite useful. If you know the dates or round numbers of one participant in a tournament you can easily determine his draw number and from there complete the round by round pairings. Apr-26-13    Benzol: <nescio> Many thanks for that. I'm not sure I understand how to work out the pairings etc just yet but it looks very interesting. Apr-26-13    nescio: <Benzol> One hint - If you study the tables closely you will see that every participant, except the one with the highest number, in a tournament has at some point two whites or two blacks in a row. If you can find the round numbers of those games you know enough. If not, if a participant has alternately white and black throughout the tournament you know he or she had drawn the highest number. Apr-28-13    PaulLovric: < Benzol> thanks for popping in. You are the FIRST New Zealander here.
