dakgootje Member since Aug-04-05 Mir ist bewusst was Freiheit bedeutet Folge dem Wege geradeaus, meide die Tiefen des Meeres, doch hab ich solch Wort hinter mir gelassen. Der Mond scheinet auf jedem Wege, wie die, in der Dunkelheit, wie Diamanten schwimmenden Fische; heiss wie durch Zufall Mensch - und hier bin ich. Was hatte ich zu befurchten, mit was zu kampfen, bald ist es Zeit die Lasten zu legen. Erteile mir noch mehr Kraft, Kraft zur Liebe. Mir ist bewusst was Freiheit bedeutet, mir ist bewusst was Freiheit bedeutet. --- Bio as it used to be: <I dont have any favorite players normally, though Josef Emil Krejcik is brilliant =) call me dakgootje, dakkie, dak, gootje or whatever you like ;-) Lack any opening knowledge and thus improvise them quite often. well not always, i know some basic e4-openings... But i improvise on d4, sicilian, kings gambit and uhm caro kann and philidor and english etc etc etc =P but hey, i do know some of the names! =) Improved a lot on openings lately, keep that in mind if you ever play versus me =P There are three sides to every story-- yours, mine, and the truth Still dont know what to studie next year but "you should view higher education as more of a matter for your self-development, rather than as training for a specific job." (quote-credits to mojo) Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me as a friend.> Docendo disco, scribendo cogito My forum name is actually a reference to a childrens song: <Oh Children, hear the Geese, its cry will make you shiver. For yet it knows that we will feas' on tasty meat, and its liver.> Cheers ^^ NOTE: I will not accept any fights, drama, name-calling and similar in my chessforum. They will all be deleted, no exceptions and no warnings. As it seems, there are other places to do such things.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 126 OF 126 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-21-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <dakkie> <Annie> Good luck for round 4! :) Remembered closing time this time. Though given what happened when I kept forgetting it I'm not sure if it's a good thing :-) Apr-21-13    dakgootje: I more or less forgot - so only made some half-hearted bets. :P gl guys ;) Apr-21-13    dakgootje: Besides more-or-less forgetting to bet, I more or less forgot to watch games unfold. Seems like I lost every single bet, so its good I didn't bet any more :P This really is the Tournament of Forgetfulness. At least, I can't remember one less memorable. Apr-21-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: And the players seem to have forgotten how to win :-) Apr-21-13    Annie K.: Forgot again. Does this tournament start at some ungodly hour (such as before 2pm my time), perchance? :s Anyhoo, I think I would like to commission our local poet laureate <Ohio> to compose new lyrics to a certain Marley song, with the title <No Carlsen, No Fight>. ;p Apr-21-13    OhioChessFan: No Carlsen, No Fight To the tune of No Woman, No Cry-Bob Marley www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGqrvn3q1oo No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight Said said Said I remember when we used to sit In the live game page on Chessgames Oba, ob-serving the Grandmasters As they would struggle with the good players we love Good chess we have seen Oh good chess we've lost along the way In this lame FIDE you can forget good games So dry your tears I say No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight Oh my little chess fan, don't shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit In the live game page on Chessgames And then Magnus would make the fire light Passion burnin' through the night Then we would speak of his talent Of which he'll share with you Strong games are my only pleasure So I've got to push on through But while I'm gone... Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight No Carlsen, no fight No, no Carlsen, no Carlsen, no fight Oh, little chess fan, don't shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no Carlsen No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight Oh, my little chess fan, no shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight, yeah Any chess fan, no shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight, no Carlsen, no fight No Carlsen, no fight, no Carlsen, no fight Said said Said I remember when we used to sit In the live game page on Chessgames Oba, ob-serving the Grandmasters As they would struggle with the good players we love Good chess we have seen Oh good chess we've lost along the way In this lame FIDE you can forget good games So dry your tears I say No Carlsen, no fight, no Carlsen, no fight Little chess fan, don't shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit In the live game page on Chessgames And then Magnus would make the fire light As it was, he would burn on through the night Then we would speak of his talent Of which he'll share with you Strong games are my only pleasure So I've got to push on thru Oh, while I'm gone Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight Everything's gonna be no fight No Carlsen, no fight, no Carlsen, no fight Little chess fan, don't shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit In the live game page on Chessgames And then Magnus would make the fire light As it was, he would burn on through the night Then we would speak of his talent Of which he'll share with you Strong games are my only pleasure So I've got to push on thru Oh, while I'm gone No Carlsen, no fight, no Carlsen, no fight Little chess fan, don't shed no tears No Carlsen, no fight Don't cry, chess fans Apr-21-13    Annie K.: <Ohio> Brilliant, much grass! =) I think this composition deserves at least a link in Carlsen's bio... :D Apr-21-13    brankat: <I more or less forgot - so only made some half-hearted bets. :P gl guys ;) Besides more-or-less forgetting to bet, I more or less forgot to watch games unfold.> This is what often happens as our age advances :-) Apr-22-13    dakgootje: Whaha nice one OCF :) <This is what often happens as our age advances> Aye, I started the getting-old early. :( Apr-22-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: Yes, you've been getting old since you were born :-) Apr-22-13    OhioChessFan: I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FUG... Apr-23-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <everybody> Good luck for today's games! :) Apr-26-13    OhioChessFan: User: mea User: kull User: pah May-06-13    OhioChessFan: Norway Moves Prediction Contest, sponsored by the legendary <chessmoron> and hosted in my forum, is now open. First round begins May 8th. Click on Elvis for details. May-07-13    dakgootje: Norway - they play chess there as well? Sometimes I get the odd feeling we drown in the number of tournaments ;) May-08-13    dakgootje: Oh I might have.. actually.. more-or-less.. forgotten about betting.. But luck and goodstuff to those that did remember. Jolly good and all that. May-08-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: I also forgot. Which isn't much of a surprise, considering :-) May-08-13    Annie K.: I didn't forget, for once. Moreover, I placed bets in the pick-3 on W/D-D-Anything, so it's lookin' pretty good either way right now, although a Carlsen win would net me 1000 more than a draw... ;) May-16-13    brankat: <dakkie> May You have better Luck in round #8! May-17-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <dakkie> Good luck for round 8! It might help me as well :-) May-17-13    dakgootje: Does it? Well the best of luck to you fine gentlemen then! I noticed Anand just bluffed a pawn at move 13 against the Hamman. Interesting game all of a sudden :) May-17-13    dakgootje: ..oh dear.. May-17-13    Annie K.: Well, that didn't go so well. ;s May-17-13    dakgootje: You can say that again :P I would've actually done swimmingly if Svidler-Karjakin had ended a draw. But that was a bit optimistic given it was some crazy game. And apparently riddled with blunders. It goes without saying this was according to our good friends the Engines - and therefore the patzers :) May-17-13    brankat: 200-1 :-) Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 126) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 126 OF 126 ·  Later Kibitzing>		A free online game for all chessgames members!
