TheAlchemist Member since Feb-23-05 · Last seen Jun-18-13 Hello! My name is Uros and welcome to my forum. If you have time, you can also visit (and contribute to) User: Memorable Quotes. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Some chess anecdotes I've posted here and there: Adrian Mikhalchishin Anatoly Karpov Boris Spassky Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian Heikki M J Westerinen Rudolf Spielmann Ossip Bernstein Dragoljub Velimirovic Aleksandar Matanovic Robert James Fischer TheAlchemist chessforum Vladimir Lepeshkin <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Game collections: TheAlchemist's Game Collections and Memorable Quotes' Game Collections. I should add that most projects are still unfinished, I don't know when they'll be completed, if at all. Game Collection: Brilliancies By "Unknowns" used to get the most praise, so I might as well advertise it. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I apologize for my frequent typos and my inability to communicate thoughts in a more concise manner, often I just think too slow, type too fast and fail to notice. Also, I often just won't "get it", so many jokes and/or pop culture references will get lost on me. You might also have noticed my overuse of commas, I guess I subconsciously apply our grammar rules to English :-). Anyway, bear with me. Over and out. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq7w...

Jun-18-13 Jeremy Lim    TheAlchemist: <Smallest MVP since Isaiah Thomas?> Parker was already MVP in 2007, so technically he will be the smallest since himself :-)      Jun-17-13 TheAlchemist chessforum   TheAlchemist: I've got just the thing here, but it's experimental.      Jun-16-13 Memorable Quotes chessforum    TheAlchemist: A J Goldsby <LIFE Master AJ>: I do know that I simply will not allow the trolls to ruin this page ... and they would, were it not for my watchful eye. There is also around 30 people who are on my ignore list ... this means that they cannot post on this page. <enpassant      Jun-14-13 Bruce Rind   TheAlchemist: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabensüb- ertragungsgesetz. I hope I got it correctly, though I think it technically doesn't exist anymore :-)      Jun-11-13 Rubinstein vs Spielmann, 1928   TheAlchemist: Position after 32...Bxf4 [DIAGRAM] Spielmann, paraphrased: <33.Qe2> Can Black win with the immediate exchange sacrifice? It certainly seems so. I have lifted my hand for the decisive Rxh3. But then I decided to go over it once again... and by the devil, Rubinstein set ...      Jun-11-13 The Last Straw chessforum    TheAlchemist:        Jun-11-13 EmperorAtahualpa chessforum   TheAlchemist: Now, if only we could resurrect and User: Chopin User: notsodeepthought as well... Anyway, good to see you (so to speak). I hope you've been well.      May-15-13 Vasja Pirc   TheAlchemist: An anecdote... Pirc and Vidmar used to play a lot during WW2 (reportedly they played more than a thousand unofficial games during the war and around two thousand in total). Their games often attracted many kibitzers (mosquitoes, as Vidmar used to call them), most of them ...      May-04-13 I Lesnik vs Joze Siska, 1948    TheAlchemist: The location should be Rogaška Slatina. For our pun-loving friends, white's name Lešnik means nut (no, not in that sense, but as in hazelnut).      Mar-09-13 Ennio Morricone   TheAlchemist: I love most of his work that I know of. Here's a scene from one of my favourite movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgXW...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 116 OF 116 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-11-13    TheAlchemist: <OCF> That's the & sign (and) (shift+6) Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: the & sign (and) (shift+6) Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: Didn't work. I'll have to join the cult. Are there dues? Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan:   Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: No dues! I'll bring cookies. Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: Oh, duh. I meant to type "one&_n_b_s_p" before. Played for a cheap laugh and messed it up. Jun-11-13    TheAlchemist: Hmm, sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear, the shift+6 (hold shift and then press 6) was meant as how to produce the "&" sign. Anyway, try copying &_n_b_s_p as stated above and then remove the dashes (or type it without them directly). Jun-11-13    TheAlchemist: Ah, you beat me to it. Well done. Jun-11-13    TheAlchemist: Again, sorry if I was unclear. Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: A new toy. I was proud of myself for figuring out how to have a blank line in front of a blue link post in a differnt manner. I'll have to try this and see if it works for one line. Next post. Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan:   User: elvis User: Rules Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: Wow, it works. Is that how <chancho> does it? Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: It's Shift + 7 btw. Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: Here's how I got a blank line: First I'd make a post with *** on the first line, then enter 2 lines and type the rest of the post. Then I'd click kibitz. Then I would blue highlight the *** on the preview page, backspace, then post. Jun-11-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <OhioChessFan: It's Shift + 7 btw.> Depends on the keyboard layout. Up here it's Shift + 6 :) Jun-11-13    OhioChessFan: I am reasonably certain I've never before had a discussion about a keyboard key. Anyway, here's a listing 1-0 of my shifts: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) Jun-11-13    SwitchingQuylthulg:        ½ ! " # ¤ % & / ( ) = ? §  1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8 9 0 + Jun-11-13    The Last Straw:   Jun-11-13    The Last Straw: User: lol User: lolololol User: hehe User: funny Jun-11-13    whiteshark: User: wow User: that 's User: entertainment !! Jun-12-13    DcGentle: These bugs are crawling around everywhere. But only programmers hate them. Usually they are nice and harmless. (To any unsuspecting bug: "a bug" is a programming error in programmers' jargon.) Ģ Jun-14-13    TheAlchemist: Heh, Switch is omnipresent and omniscient, always ready to jump in with the answer :-) Jun-14-13    brankat: <TheAlchemist> Our friend <SwitchingQuylthulg> secretly runs this site from his secluded lake-shore mansion somewhere in the deep, dark forest of Finland. Planning to take over a score of other chess sites, too. Something like Dr.NO :-) Jun-17-13    The Last Straw: (crawls up leg)... Ahh! Get this bug (my avatar) off me! =) Jun-17-13    TheAlchemist: I've got just the thing here, but it's experimental.
