If someone hits an exact, the closest score under and over will score the points for second place.> Actual Game: [player]-[player] 0-1 45 Participant 1: [player]-[player] 1/2 45 Participant 2: [player]-[player] 0-1 45 Participant 3: [player]-[player] 0-1 44 Participant 4: [player]-[player] 0-1 43 Participant 5: [player]-[player] 0-1 46 Participant 1: No points even though 45 is correct. Results must be correct. If Result is wrong and moves # is correct...you get no points whatsoever Participant 2: 10 pts rewarded for correct Result/moves # Participant 3: 7 pts rewarded for closest under (1st-Under) to 45 moves Participant 4: 6 pts rewarded for the 2nd closest under (2nd-Under) to 45 moves. Participant 5: 3 pts rewarded closest OVER(1st-OVER) to 45 moves. Again, the description of Participant 3, 4, and 5 are based on there being no exact prediction as made by Participant 2. <IF> there is an exact or an under closest, the highest scoring over participant will be 2nd over. The second closest over will be 3rd over. The <ONLY> time there will be a first over is if there is no exact or under winner. Things To Look At: 1.

Or American Pekins.      Jul-03-25 M Castiglione vs E Pinter, 2001    OhioChessFan: I had the pun idea of "Pinter Copier". I thought an English Symmetrical would be the best chance of finding a game with both sides making the same moves long enough to make the pun work. Alas, Pinter with Black inevitably played d5 by his 5th move and ruined the symmetry. I was      Jul-03-25 M Basman vs B Thipsay, 1991    OhioChessFan: I guess I like the pun better than most. Fun game, 1. a3 is sure to get my attention.      Jul-02-25 Louis Stumpers    OhioChessFan: Okay, I need to have a go at this.      Jul-02-25 D Goodman vs Nunn, 1978    OhioChessFan: A clever pun, although unreadable on the home page and a little short on this page.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 848 OF 848 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-06-24    saffuna: Real popular for years, and quite good, is Juan Luis Guerra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWG... Luis Miguel turned into a real singer, after starting out as a pop idol at around age 12. Sort of a Latin Justin Bieber, or an individual Menudo, but he definitely overcame that. Oct-06-24    Fusilli: <saffuna> I love Juan Luis Guerra! But he does bachata (including Burbujas de Amor) rather than bolero. And also merengue. Bachata and merengue are the two most popular rhythms in the Dominican Republic. I spent considerable time in the Dominican Republic when I was a grad student, doing research there. Once I went do dance, and I felt like a cripple (I'm talking about 20+ years ago, before I became a real one!) Those bastards can dance in the most beautiful way. My tango skills don't translate well to those rhythms at all. In Argentine tango, the main rotation axis is upper vs lower body, so you turn your torso while your hips remain level. You keep your hips steadily horizontal and hip motion is actually inimical to tango (it throws you off-balance, making it hard to lead or follow). In Latin rhythms, including salsa, the movement is completely different, with moving hips an essential part of the repertoire. I learned the basic steps of those dances, but was never good at them. Not if there were real Latin dancers around anyway. Oct-07-24    stone free or die: I thought I knew a lot about music, but I've discovered a huge gap in my knowledge. I appreciate the recommendations - but have to admit the production values of a few of the videos were a bit too "slick" for my tastes. So I googled Bolero, and picking the Cuban music hits (vs. the similarly named Spanish dance ones), I discovered a the "Matamoros Trio". I'll quote one of the comments of a youtube video here: <<@guillermodunel3425 - 11 days ago> I went to Cuba with my wife on our honeymoon a few years ago. Walking through Havana, I asked a man where I could find CDs of authentic Cuban music, and he immediately replied, "LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO REAL CUBAN MUSIC, BRING EVERYTHING YOU FIND BY THE MATAMOROS TRIO." So I discovered them, and I brought them back to Argentina in my suitcases and in my heart. And many friends who I played them to also fell in love with them."> And here is the link to this late period, rather enjoyable, live version song by the "Matamoros Trio": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7co... . Oct-08-24    Fusilli: <stone free or die> <And here is the link to this late period, rather enjoyable, live version song by the "Matamoros Trio"> Enjoyable indeed! Here's some that I do remember from my parents' collection: Jorge Porcel sings "Contigo en la distancia" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQa... Armando Manzanero sings "Adoro" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb7... Trio Los Panchos performing Quizás, quizás, quizás: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ4... (The English version --"Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps"-- is famous, but the composer was Cuban and the original lyrics in Spanish. And, of course, "Bésame mucho," one of the most famous boleros, sung here by Consuelo Velázquez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY0... Oct-08-24    OhioChessFan: I happened to leave my XMSirius Radio channel on 79, a channel that changes formats each month. Started my car today and found this month it's called Carlos Vives Channel and so lots of Vallenato and other Latin genres. I encourage everyone to get a subscription to SiriusXM. By far the best money I've ever spent on anything. Carlos Vives-La Gota Fria https://youtu.be/Nmb80HXWsFQ?si=bcl... Oct-08-24    stone free or die: Thanks <Fusilli> and <OCF>. I have to confess I preferred the last two picks by <Fusilli> over the first two (maybe it's the violin backing parts - reminding me of Creed Taylor's influence over George Benson - but compare my opinion to Benson's <George Benson "Creed Taylor was one of the most incredible producers of our time. Responsible for the success of Bossa Nova, Jazz organ, Wes Montgomery and my own career. And that's just a few of his many musical contributions. Most of all, he was my friend and I will miss him." https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...>) I do like <OCF>'s pick too, with accordian, no less! Nov-19-24    Messiah: 1.Rxg6+ maybe?
