Joshka Member since Apr-03-04 · Last seen Nov-20-09 Play on the ICC. Looking to play folks in the 1250-1650 range. Like slow time control. Enjoy match's where we play up to a certain number of wins. First to win four, five, ect. Draws not counting, time controls of 120 minutes for 40 moves, or with increments, using 45/45, or 30/30.

Joshka has kibitzed 3711 times to chessgames   [more...]

Nov-20-09 Robert James Fischer    Joshka: The premiere of Bobby Fischer Live was supposed to have taken place last night in Los Angelos. Any reviews would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.      Nov-14-09 Hikaru Nakamura    Joshka: In 1993 when karpov resigned to Christiansen in 12 moves, and NOT a rapid or blitz game. Long time control;-)      Nov-13-09 Joshka chessforum   Joshka: timhortons, well, finally at last we see the three together!!...those postcards are surely scripted by bobby himself!!...yea i know what you mean, the child does not seem to have caucasian features, like we would think, but it's only one pic, and who knows how well the coloring is in      Nov-04-09 timhortons chessforum    ...      Nov-02-09 Kibitzer's Café    Joshka: Trying to find some games with these opening moves....1.e5 e5 2.nf3 nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. 0-0 Ng4?....called the Fishing Pole Variation, only two games in the database, but i recall seeing some games with this variation on another website....it's very tricky...any info would be much ...      Oct-24-09 Benjamin Finegold    Joshka: GM Feingold wasn't there tonight, he's playing in the two day section, hoping to meet him tomorrow. GM Anatoly Lein is playing as well. He's 79, and a product of the Soviet system which produced, Korchnoi, Tal, Geller, ect.      Oct-10-09 OhioChessFan chessforum    Joshka: All I know is that when I was a piano salesman, "Pearl Springs" were just terrible pianos!!:-)      Sep-30-09 Eugenio Torre    Joshka: let's hope he IS part of the Fischer docu from the BBC/HBO.....this man was part of Bobby's last years while alive....anything he shed's will be informative for sure!!!      Sep-26-09 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972    Joshka: <Krazipawn> Of course, Fischer even told friends about his fears for his life from the Soviets. There is a link on the Fischer page about an HBO movie documentary, that will have Torre, Marliyn (Justine) and Bobby's only known child, Jinky. Jinky and Marilyn will be arriving in      Sep-19-09 Jude Frazer Acers    Joshka: Well after Katrina, he fled to Tennessee.

May-11-07    vesivialvy93: <freidenker> hi again my question is for you about ratings (in english even if we are french by respect for the host of this page please !) can you give me your differents ratings from differents sites please because i would like to know if this is normal for me to have almost 1600 elo in ICC(like you!) and 2000 on yahoo chess ??? do you have a yahoo rating like i am ? thx May-11-07    Freidenker: Salut, My rating is 1604 on ICC and 1689 on FICS. I have no Yahoo rating as I played only one game there and I hated it. I would not give too much credits to their rating system if I were you. May-11-07    vesivialvy93: No ! i don't give credits at all to yahoo ratings but i think it is really bad to see ratings like that , they don't help players over-rate as they do ! and it was bad for me to see how weak i was on ICC -400 pts but much closer to real ratings , i think you understand how disapointed it was for me to see how bad i was finally(versus yahoo) May-17-07    Joshka: <freidenker> Hey Hi there!!..have not checked my page in awhile....would still like to play more games with you?....unless you have started another set with someone else?....got some IRS probelms I had to get worked out, sorry for not trying to post to my page and get our match going again...I have been playing on the ICC but have not seen you....Oh BTW....yes I was not lucky, cause there is no luck in chess, like cards for instance:-)..you either play good moves or bad moves, I played bad ones you played good ones:-) May-17-07    Freidenker: Hello, No problem, I'm ready to continue whenever you are. I really like to play Friday around 13:00-15:00, if it still suits you. May-17-07    Joshka: <Freidenker> I work this Friday at that time....wont be available to play until wednesday morning ICC time between 6am-10am start time...sorry:-( Jun-21-07    Joshka: Maybe if Vlad can't play, why not extend an invite to Korchnoi, or Spassky......Spassky was just given a "condo" in Elista, for his lifetime achievements in chess, Korchnoi has been playing like a man who's blind to "father-time". Jul-10-07    talisman: just read Thornton's comment on bobby's page.who is this guy?? we need to call TaxiDriver and tell him to call his uncle...we got a "job" for him. Jul-11-07    talisman: joshka...that quote sounded like hayton3. i asked chancho just now for an answer on hayton(hayton3 got banned awhile back w/ the goldsby deal). Jul-11-07    talisman: oh well...chancho says no. Jul-27-07    chesstoplay: Hi.. no, I'm not chess2play on ICC, but I do, of course, like the name!! I rarely play except against computer programs late at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. Most of what I do is on the business organizational front and endless administrative chess related "stuff". My passion is to teach and keep creating more chess for everyone. Your friend in chess, Peter / chesstoplay Mar-12-08    Shams: hey <Joshka>-- you know what? you were right about Mickey Rourke. He is pretty good. I stand corrected. After I shot my mouth off I decided to rent 9 1/2 weeks. I quite liked it. Apr-18-09    Joshka: Hey dad, just to let ya know, you are still loved and missed by all very, very much. Took Evan out today with Larry to help him with his driving test, he can do it, just needs a little patience. If you're in cahoots with the "driving Angel"....make sure he or she is reminded that he goes for his test Friday, the 24th. The old house you built is still holding up just fine, it never ceases to amaze me how ya did it! But I'm so thankfull you did!:-).....I'm not all too sure you'll get this, but hoping you do......it's written, these cyber air/waves, or whatever....are controlled by "the prince and power of the air"....but all is still a mystery for us all still around down here. Again, this day reminded me of you, and just to let you know, when we gathered at Sues's house after the funeral, the phone did ring loud and clear! Sorry we didn't pick it up in time!;-)....I know you are in peace......love always Bruce Apr-28-09    hackmate: Hello Bruce, I am all moved in now. Great place, very nice family too. Getting ready for the big wedding day. Aug-21-09    SugarDom: Yes, it's kind of common for Filipinos with Chinese background.... Probably no relations. Nov-03-09    timhortons: joshka i see your posted kibitz at kibitzers cafe. i see 26 games on it at gameknot.com database. if i had time i can retrieve some of it for you. now if your looking for some GM's game on it, i had no idea. Nov-12-09    timhortons: joshka id seen the photo of bobby's daughter posted at chessbase. tell me what is your initial reaction when you see the photo? for me im a bit shock since it defy my expectation. Nov-13-09    Joshka: timhortons, well, finally at last we see the three together!!...those postcards are surely scripted by bobby himself!!...yea i know what you mean, the child does not seem to have caucasian features, like we would think, but it's only one pic, and who knows how well the coloring is in the pic....i have been hearing about this child now for years......cannot wait for the interview with the bbc from London!!!.....looking forward to see if she will divulge the info on bobby's last book my 61.....it was marilyn's good friend in canada that held the auction...but maybe this interview will just be about paternity.....but things are rolling out just as i expected, finally!:-) Jump directly to page #    (enter number from 1 to 6) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 6 OF 6 ·  Later Kibitzing >		Donate to Worldwide Chess Learning
