Aug-02-12 World Blitz Championship (2012)    tino72: I'm confused. I looked up this page expecting to see some sort of chat about Grishuk's great result/whatever. Instead, there appear to be countless pages of irelevant effluent about some guy who wasn't even playing. Please could you keep your postings relevant, people?      Jul-06-12 Jan Hein Donner    tino72: Happy birthday Hein Donner. 85 today. The king of chess literature! (People: if you have not yet read "The King" then you are missing out.)      Jul-17-11 Kamsky vs Karjakin, 2011    tino72: <8284> maybe you are right - technically - although I would rate both Smyslov and Botvinnik over 2700 in modern day terms (once you adjust for "rating inflation"/development of chess theory over the last 50 years): Smyslov vs Botvinnik, 1957      Jun-28-11 G Cappello vs E Paoli, 1967    tino72: <Once> I have never had cause to disagree with you before. But some things I cannot let go. Squeeze are no punk band and never have been. Pop/rock with a deft line in observational lyrics.

But until I looked at the solution I thought I had solved the Sunday puzzle for the first time ever...close, but not really that close if truth be told!      Jul-10-08 Toni Najdoski    tino72: Joint 84th out of 179 according to your link. Needless to say but I'll say it anyway: you are talking garbage. Please desist.      Jun-28-07 Magnus Carlsen    tino72: pubaer: this is the Magnus Carlsen page.      Jan-15-07 Corus (2007)    tino72: <As a lot of people predicted- you have to have your name starting from K to become world chess champion now :)> Predicted winner of Corus 2008? Magnus Karlsen.      Jan-11-07 Kibitzer's Café    tino72: <Stevens, Cyphelium> Yes, I appreciate that symbols make life easier, but I would contend that they sometimes encourage our natural laziness and leave us with a more superficial view of the game than need be. <i don't agree that if i use symbols then i don't understand the ...
