May-22-13 Kenneth Rogoff    Shams: I guess he really wanted to get out of here. The basketball game doesn't start for another 4.5 hours.      May-19-13 Wei Yi    Shams: <norami> <Wei is the best young player but he's well behind those other two at the same age.> He's only 20 points and 50 points behind Carlsen and Karjakin respectively when they were his age. I don't think that's too significant.      May-18-13 Vallejo-Pons vs Tkachiev, 2013   Shams: I thought Paco was taking a break from chess.      May-18-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013    Shams: <chessfanprag> 54.Bxg7+ and 55.Qxc7.      May-18-13 Karjakin vs Topalov, 2013    Shams: Nakamura has played the Noteboom against Hammer. One to watch.      May-17-13 Kibitzer's Café    Shams: <JB> <Apparently there's a hint but nothing direct about an abortion.> Well he doesn't use the word, but it's pretty obvious. (I'm reminded of Hemingway's _Hills Like White Elephants_.) Incredibly tacky of Connors to write that in my opinion.      May-17-13 FSR chessforum    Shams: <FSR> You flew out to Tacoma for a chess tournament?      May-17-13 Gata Kamsky    Shams: <JB> It's not as impressive as it sounds. It was the Under 20 centimeters championship.      May-17-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Shams: <I notice that some Carlsen fans don't seem to have much objectivity or grip on reality.> I think it's more that people prone to hagiography and magical thinking are likely to cling to the guy who is at the top of the rating list. In a sense these people are Magnus fans, but in ...      May-17-13 Colle vs Vidmar, 1929   Shams: <whiteshark> Happens to me more than anyone on this site, trust me.      May-17-13 Karpov vs D J Ten

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 10 OF 10 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-24-12    wordfunph: Maligayang Pasko! Dec-25-12    Boomie: <Shams: <Boomie> Did you know Ftacnik when he lived in Seattle?> Sorry I'm a little late to respond. No. I never met Ftacnik. I left the chess scene in 1981 after I blew a won game on 1st board in the final round of the Seattle Amateur (under 2000). The experience was so sour, I gave up tournament chess. My knowledge of the Seattle chess scene is confined to the 70's. Also I went to Lone Pine a couple of years to watch Petrosian, Smyslov, Reshevsky, and scores of other strong players. And to hang out with Pacific Northwest friends like Yaz and Peter Biyiasas... Jan-10-13    OhioChessFan: Tata Steel Moves Prediction Contest, sponsored by the legendary <chessmoron> and hosted in my forum, is now open. First round begins Saturday the 12th. Click on Elvis for details. Jan-25-13    HeMateMe: Hey, the sonics are coming back to Seattle, Shams. Break out the Slick Watts headbands, baby! Rain Man! Key arena will be rocking again. Those uniforms are butt-ugly, IMO, but nonetheless its great to have a pro basketball team in town. Maybe you and the Pearl Jam guys can do some one-hit bowls in the bathroom, between quarters? Beats waiting in long lines for over priced beers. Jan-25-13    FSR: <Shams> That online etymological dictionary you cited is a great thing. Check out, for example, this NC-17-rated entry: http://bit.ly/OoIEE5 Jan-31-13    Check It Out: My mom used to work with Slick Watts at Highpoint where she was a 2nd grade teacher and he the PE teacher. She said he was constantly on the hallway pay phone (can you imagine the days before cels?) making deals of...some sort. Come on Gus Williams, Jack Sikma and Downtown Freddy Brown!! Jan-31-13    Jim Bartle: Dennis Johnson! Tom Burleson? Jan-31-13    Check It Out: Jim - yes, freckle-face DJ! Lenny Wilkins. Who was that lefty center Seattle had for awhile? He had a real flat sky hook that rarely went through the hoop... Jan-31-13    Check It Out: Oh, I think I'm thinking of the Big Smooth who came later... Jan-31-13    Jim Bartle: You must mean Sam Perkins, the guy who always looked as if he were about to fall asleep. Good player, though. Feb-01-13    Shams: Xavier McDaniel had his moments too, plus a cameo in "Singles". Feb-01-13    chancho: <Check It Out> You might be referring to Marvin Webster... Feb-01-13    Check It Out: <chancho> I thought that too - was he a lefty? Feb-01-13    chancho: <Check It Out: Was he a lefty?> http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/a... Feb-01-13    Check It Out: That's the lefty skyhook I remember! Thanks, chancho. Feb-07-13    Abdel Irada: After our last <Kenneth Rogoff> posts about Israel/Palestine, I hazard two "guesses": (1) <HeMateMe> has been urgently called away from the forum and won't be back until late tomorrow. (2) When <HMM> does return, he will happen to overlook our posts and will continue his arguments precisely as though they'd never been made. Feb-08-13    Travis Bickle: <Abdel Irada> Do you always talk politics? Feb-08-13    Abdel Irada: <Travis>: That question is easily answered, and you needn't take my word for it: Just visit my user profile and see where I've kibitzed. Apr-02-13    gauer: <If Magnus is Magnum, who is Higgins?> Sean K Higgins visited the World open. Apr-03-13    Shams: <gauer> It simply won't do if our Higgins isn't old enough to drink wine. Apr-11-13    FSR: <Shams> Dunno if you noticed, but <perfidious> also responded to your question about what to do with one's DSB in the Reversed Benoni. The most intelligent response of the lot, I'd say. Apr-12-13    Shams: <FSR> Thanks. Very interesting. Apr-13-13    Travis Bickle: Shams I want to apologize to you for the racial slur I called you the other day. I'm sorry. Travis B. Apr-13-13    Shams: <Travis> No worries man. If we ever have to share a camel though, you're taking the back hump. May-12-13    technical draw: <Shams> Check out this spanish language chess site: http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...
