Karpova Member since Sep-24-04 I want to thank the User who presented me with another year of premium membership! Akiva Rubinstein, Jose Raul Capablanca, Vladimir Kramnik, Anatoly Karpov and Judit Polgar. Thanks to User: technical draw for one year of premium membership (2008.03.30 to 2009.03.30)! It was a nice experience. For my article <Research about Rubinstein’s mental stability prior to the First World War> have a look at Akiba Rubinstein Weiss Interesting quote: <Eric Schiller: <Hehateme>Sorry, I forgot about the ridiculous"plagiarism" charge. Winter got his knickers in a bunch because in my combination and tactics books I never said where the game combination was first published! Nor has anyone else, ever! It is indicative of his "scholarahip". That's why I have a Ph.D. and he doesn't and never will.> Source: Eric Schiller Remarkable quotes: On De Legal vs Saint Brie, 1750 ahmadov: <I have just played a similar game on gameknot.com :)> whiteshark: <<ahmadov>: the black side ?? LOL> doremi: <Hey, what is going on in Ivan vs Mamed? How did Sokolov get 1 hour at move 26?> Sokolov hired Danailov at move 25 azaris: <I hear the Russians put a dangerous scorpion in Danailov's luggage and it stung him. The scorpion died three days later of poisoning.> RookFile: <Wow, something scary just happenned. Karpova and I independently had exactly the same thought.> Thank you, <RookFile> Carlsen vs Leko, 2007 In respond to <Ulhumbrus>' post: euripides: <<After 11 Qxd4 White has a Q on d4.> There's no arguing with that.> Russian Superfinals (2007) DCP23: <But it turned out there was an even faster way of exploiting the weakness of the light squares, as Korbut demonstrated with 31..Qh6! and 32..Qxh2+!. /Am I starting to sound a bit like <notyetagm> yet? ;) /> malthrope: <<DCP23 <as Korbut demonstrated with 31..Qh6!

Applying for a free premium membership at <cg.com> OhioChessFan: <Dear Chessgames, I am a small boy in ummmmm, Ethiopia. I have pretended to be from this place called "Ohio", because I hear that the people in America have food to eat and also many pictures of Jessica Simpson to look at for free on magazine covers. Please make a starving boy happy and send him a free America Chessgames Premium Membership. And also some free Jessica Simpson pictures.> On S Erenburg vs D Fridman, 2005 (Pun: "Pawn Shop") Rocafella: <It's happened. CG.com has finally resorted to incorporating sexual innuendo into puns for GOTD. One thing to say to this disgusting act. Great stuff, keep up the good work! =D> unsound: <<Rocafella> I think I should save you possible future embarrassment and point out that there is a vast difference between a "pawn shop" and a "porn shop."> iamverywellatchess: <I can check-mate with a ladel of cucumber broth! What you refuse to understand is that my play is so large that many human beings of the United States cannot determine what I am doing!> On Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907 (before it got submitted) offramp: <Seems like a reasonable game, though it may not quite make the standard. Submit it and see what they say.> Capablanca vs Milner-Barry, 1935 Jesuitic Calvinist: <For those who know something about cricket, I read recently that former England captain Graham Gooch, who played his first test match in 1975, was the first player with a moustache to play for England since 1946.> After game 2 Deep Fritz vs Kramnik 2006 (Kramnik's one move checkmate) and repeated spamming from a Topalov-Fanatic: square dance: <i think topalov fans are just angry again since kramnik took topalov's only remaining title: world champion of blunders. it was the only thing topalov still had over kramnik.> Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin Jesuitic Calvinist: <I am glad this lady has been successful career-wise; it can't be easy going through life with a name that sounds like an inexplicably popular line of the Nimzovich Defence.> jamthegenius: <I have a tactical and attacking ability and style that is comparable to Alekhine, yet fall somewhere below Kosteniuk.> Mamedyarov vs Topalov, 2006 Bufon: <<acirce35..Rxc8 36.Rxc8 Rxd6! 37.exd6 Qd2 forcing a perpetual was a fairly easy draw> This is the kind of recomendations one would expect from a Kramnik fan, finding the draw lines, thanks to God, Topalov is no Drawmnik. He gave us a nice defeat by the hands of a young prodigy instead of a draw by repetition.> notsodeepthought: <WMD: <LIFE Master AJ>, would you consider the email from Ray Keene to be the highlight of your chess career?> <I don't know if AJ's already answered that - he's on my ignore list - but my guess is that he considers that email to be the highlight of RAY KEENE's career.> euripides: <Does the Romanian federation issue Lifemaster titles ?> After Kramnik blundering in game 2 against Deep Fritz 2006: Eyal: <<technical draw: There is no happier group in the world today than the Kramnik bashers. Danilov is getting drunk tonight! (just like every night).> So maybe tonight he is staying sober.> LIFE Master AJ: <A.) You are nothing more than a loud-mouthed, rude little fish ... a punk with a bad attitude. B.) You are igmored, (again).> On Essent 2006, Round 2 AdrianP: <<Danailov Press Release> As can be seen from the Essent tournament, Kramnik has no right to call himself the world chess champion. After all, his contender for the title is being roundly trounced by players not even in the top 10. We, that is Topalov and I, refuse to recognise the recent match in Elista, meaning that Topalov remains the true world chess champion. Keep those loo doors closed.> Vasily Smyslov acirce: <If there is an argument between two philosophers, but nobody is watching it, do they really spam the Smyslov page?> (After a discussion mainly between <danielpi> and <Plato>) samvega: <ughaibu: I'm also a one finger typist, however I feel the Chessgames members are worth the effort of occasionally employing a second finger, dont you? <Our gratitude for the effort you put into capitalizing woud be that much greater if you'd ever actually written something worth reading.>> Claudia Noemi Amura ConLaMismaMano: <First Latin American woman to become a a male IM.> ketchuplover: <gender reassignment?> LIFE Master AJ: <Just to answer one person's question, the owner of this website has stated - repeatedly - that he is not interested in my annotations or reproducing all of my games.> larsker: <No list would be complete without an honorary mention of Goldsby's collected works with a special regard to his Sounding off webpage.> Steppenwolf: <17.

Baby Sloths

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 21 OF 21 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-08-09    technical draw: I just found out that my opponent is 15 years old so I'll cut him some slack. Maybe he doesn't even know about resigning. Nov-09-09    gus inn: When I play unrated I usually resign when my opponent continues in a hopeless position. Nov-09-09    technical draw: <gus inn> < When I play unrated I usually resign when my opponent continues in a hopeless position.> I tried that once but then I felt bad afterwards. I guess I still think of chess as a gentleman's and ladies' game. Nov-09-09    TheAlchemist: <technical draw> I feel the same way, but the behaviour you described is certainly far from gentlemanlike. I find it a bit irritating, especially if the game needlessly progresses for a few more months. I avoid doing it myself, but what can you really do if it's within the (written) rules. Nov-09-09    Karpova: <technical draw: I tried that once but then I felt bad afterwards. I guess I still think of chess as a gentleman's and ladies' game.> I don't do that also. But I don't play correspondence chess because I lack the patience and it would be hard for me to stop thinking about the game in progress. On the internet I just play blitz and unsporting behaviour bothers me there already enough. I don't want to imagine how it would be in a correspondence game... Nov-10-09    crawfb5: I haven't experienced any trash talk in CC to date. I do occasionally get the opponent who resigns by letting his time expire. I'm finishing a tournament which had one such player and this person has lost positions in both games against another common opponent and even took vacation time to string it out longer! A little digging reveals this player resigned only one game out of their last 10 losses. Certainly someone for the "won't play" list for me... Nov-10-09    TheAlchemist: At QA I have once received an angry message after claiming the game on time (while forgetting to send a reminder), but I have managed to clear it out (it was the first and only time to date I did that). It was one of the last games of the tournament and I felt waiting could needlessly prolong it, especially since I was completely winning in the game. Nov-10-09    TheAlchemist: <Karpova> Your quotes are back! Can I copy them to the Memorable Quotes forum? Nov-10-09    crawfb5: <TheAlchemist> You are under no obligation to send a reminder. You can if you want, but it is your opponent's responsibility to keep track of his own time. I had one QA tournament held up for over a month because one player timed out and his opponent never claimed the win. I think the system finally forfeited both. Nov-10-09    technical draw: OK no more Mr. nice guy. Now my non-resigning opponent is playing the time out game. So now, beginner or not, he goes to my ignore list. And like at GameKnot I'm not playing anyone with less than 50 games completed and within 50 points of my rating, so there. Nov-10-09    technical draw: Not only will I put him on ignore I'll send him this picture: http://www.funnydog.net/images/funn... Mar-23-10    Honza Cervenka: Hi Karpova, I don’t know whether you have read my recent messages at Kibitzer’s Café or not and so I am posting it here too. On Monday of last week I have become proud father of (the second) daughter named Aneta. You can see her picture on the site of regional newspaper “Kladensky denik” (Kladno’s Daily) at http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m... where is just now till this Friday (12:00 A.M. CET) running a polling contest for the most sympathetic baby born last week in regional maternity hospitals organized by the newspaper. Personally I am not much interested in such a kind of competitions but my wife likes it very much and she would be much happy to see our little girl on the top. Right now we are on the second place in very tense and close race with two other contenders and so every additional vote is very important for the final outcome. If you would like to help me to make my wife even happier than she already is now, just click on the link above, flag “Aneta Cervenkova, Stredokluky” (the first name in gray box on the right side on the screen) and hit the “hlasovat” button below. It is possible to vote repeatedly always after 60 minutes from one IP address... :-D Thanks and warm regards, Honza Mar-23-10    Karpova: Congratulations to you and your wife on your little daughter, <Honza>! A clear lead for Aneta now with 537 votes. I will vote whenever I can. Mar-23-10    Honza Cervenka: <Karpova> Thanks a lot!:-) Apr-17-10    xombie: Thank you so much for your game collection of Kramnik. It is truly 'immortal'! Apr-18-10    Karpova: Thanks, <xombie>! Nice to hear that you enjoyed the game collection. May-13-10    smalldreams: And thank you also for the "Apocalypse Now" collection, which I have found quite valuable for reasons I'd care not to elaborate. ;) May-13-10    Karpova: You're welcome, <smalldreams>! Yes, that's a special game collection... Jul-13-10    whiteshark: <Karpova> Just in case you haven't seen <Meet the sloths> yet : http://vimeo.com/11712103 :D Dec-06-10    Karpova: Thanks to the member who presented me with a premium membership! Dec-06-10    myschkin: . . . Heyday <karpova> Wrote the following (see Veronika Minina ) without knowing you would do it* again :) Hope it wasn't overly rude to answer on your behalf. Gratulations for the PM* and Frohen Nikolaus Dec-07-10    Karpova: Hi <myschkin>! I saw the post but I need some time to find the post in question. Jan-19-11    hms123: <Karpova> Thank you for your help.--hms Jan-24-11    Honza Cervenka: Call for Aneta’s voters! Vote early, vote often! We are losing the race with a great favourite Alex Loukota. Despite of getting in just two days more votes than in both previous one week long rounds the gap between leader and our girl is widening more and more. They are ahead of us for more than one thousand votes now. Your help is much needed! If you want to support Aneta, just click on http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m..., flag the name <Aneta Červenková> in the grey box on the right side of the screen and hit the <hlasovat> button below. If you see a notification “Děkujeme za váš hlas” (Thank you for your vote) after that, then you have voted successfully. And if you see a notification “Došlo k opakovanému hlasování” (Repeated voting has occurred), then you should try to vote a bit later again....:-D Jun-11-13    Karpova: I'm thankful to whomever granted me a premium membership!
