Diademas Member since May-06-11 · Last seen May-24-13 Greetings from Bergen, Norway. I never thought I would spend good money to join a community with the sole purpose of discussing chess, but here I am. I havent played a rated game since they banned smoking and if your into improving your game Im not the guy to ask. The reason I still frequents these pages are the romantic notion that this game, and its rich history, is something that binds a bunch of interesting people together regardless of nationality, race, religion and politics. Even if Im not a very good chessplayer, I see myself as something of an afficionado and conneseur of good trolling - weather it is Phillipino or independent trolls. I might even dedicate this forum to trolls and feeders. I

May-22-13 Richard Wagner   Diademas: Happy birthday!      May-20-13 Lothar Schmid    Diademas: RIP Lothar Schmid. Is his birthdate correct? The chessbase article gives his year of birth as 1928. The same does Wikipedia.      May-18-13 lostemperor chessforum    Diademas: Thank you for hosting <lostemperor>and congrats to the winners. Especially <twinlark> for winning the pair betting ranker without a single "equal" and thereby settle a dispute.      May-17-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Diademas: <<perfidius> are you really as stupid as you sound here?> It might be hard to comprehend, but I'm afraid the answer to your question is yes.      May-16-13 Simen Agdestein    Diademas: <Rolfo> If you should win, I'll take that beer at Carma, Øverbygd, Inner-Troms. If that hell hole still exists...      May-14-13 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2013    Diademas: Very Carlsenesque®      May-14-13 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    Diademas: Since this seams to be the place for bragging rights; I just ended my best streak ever with two connsecutive <pick three> wins winning >1200 Sunday and >3600 yesterday. My total bets were under 100 bucks each day. Hoo-ray!!!      May-14-13 Louis F Stumpers    Diademas: Thank you for shearing your stories <OCF>. B.t.w... Wasn't the Ohio State Fair 1977 the location for the very first Elvis sighting? The pieces are comming together! :-O      May-13-13 Chigorin vs Davydow, 1874    Diademas: I actually spent some time looking for a smothered mate before I noticed Na6.      May-10-13 Gunsberg vs Von Gottschall, 1887    Diademas: Thank you <GauraNitai>.

Feb-26-13    Tiggler: It is nice to know that a genuine Norwegian troll recognizes the champion trolls of this era: the Filipinos. The best of trolling to you all! Apr-23-13    waustad: He might even have played in a Troll Masters tournament! Thinking about Bergen Norway, the only time I was there was about 42 years ago. I suspect it has changed a bit. May-07-13    Check It Out: Have you seen that independent Norweigan film about trolls? It was released about 3-5 years ago. May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Norway Moves Prediction Contest, sponsored by the legendary <chessmoron> and hosted in my forum, is now open. First round begins today at 9:00 am Chessgames.com time. Click on Elvis for details. May-09-13    Diademas: <Check It Out> Yes, its brilliant! I guess your talking about this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1740707/ Its sprinkled with references to Norwegian folklore and word play, so I guess seeing it in translation might not be the same. May-10-13    Check It Out: <Diademas> That's the one. From reading your bio I figured you were a troll hunter of sorts. Wish I could understand the original dialogue, but a great part is the first encounter with a troll, when he runs down the hill and yells, "TROOOOOOLLLLL!!!!" Loved it.
