TheFocus: <technical draw> Did you ever think that if you would pay more attention to your poor wife than hanging out here all day, she might just stay home? Maybe you need to do a little less Funny, and a little more Honey, Or she's gonna wind up with all the money.

TheFocus: It's nice to know this about Berthold Lasker. I wish more of his games were available. Emanuel once remarked that Berthold was a stronger player than himself.

TheFocus: <thomastonk> Thank you for that clarification. I added the following to my collection: <thomastonk> pointed out that these games may not be considered a match: From the BCM, 1883, p. 105: <"The program included a series of six game (not to be called a match) with ...

TheFocus: I believe you are right. I am currently looking through Brooklyn Daily Eagle for Fischer stuff. If I run across anything you can use regarding Altusky and/or news of Brooklyn Chess Club, I will drop it in your Forum.

  TheFocus: Nasty fall last night. Hurt my thigh, arm and thumb. Nothing broken but my pride.

Getting old sucks when you don't heal as quickly as you did when younger.

  TheFocus: Post 7,500.

In recognition, the <CG> admins sent me a gift coupon to Radio Shack.

I guess they don't cough up the big dough until you get to 10,000.

  TheFocus: Well then. Only 999,992,500 more posts to go.

Easily, I should make that by 2014.

  TheFocus: Lately I have been drinking a lot of ginger ale. Of course, I dilute it with Maker's Mark so that it is drinkable.

Nice to add to the collective.

  TheFocus: So I finally get my work schedule changed so that I am off on Saturday and Sunday.

First thing I do is call up a friend of mine to see if he has any weekend work in entertainment security. There's a concert this weekend. I will be working in the pit as a bouncer. Free concert and paid in cash.

Sometimes I will be working in nightclubs. Nothing like getting paid to watch pretty girls dance. Best of all is when those girls use your body as if pole dancing. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.

It's all about getting to the magic $1,000,000 mark if you know what I mean.

A 55 hour vacation.

  Phony Benoni: I ran across the dates and games for London 1900, and had just submitted a couple of games when I noticed you had started Game Collection: 1900 London.

Would you like the information, or should I continue? (I'm calling it the City Club Masters/Amateurs; there were other tournaments at London in 1900.)

May-06-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  TheFocus: <Phony> I need to check again, but I believe that the games and dates are in <The Field>.

Why don't you continue. I am swamped with other tournaments right now.

  TheFocus: Finally got all the games entered for <Ostende-B 1907> entered, but 109 games have to be submitted.

  TheFocus: Don't you hate finding some of your posts were deleted overnight. You can't remember them all, yet you know nothing offensive was posted.

Hmmm.
