TheAlchemist Member since Feb-23-05 · Last seen May-22-13 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 Anatoli 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.

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...      Mar-05-13 TheAlchemist chessforum    TheAlchemist: Or do what Switch said, either way works.      Mar-04-13 Travis Bickle chessforum    ...      Feb-26-13 TheFocus chessforum    TheAlchemist: I don't have any witty rebuttals, so I'll just stick with hello.      Feb-06-13 meloncio chessforum    TheAlchemist: His analyses are always interesting. One recent graph I've noticed many times before is this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wsmxAQJo2... And I wonder how come the other clubs haven't revolted yet. To me it is a farce, over time it makes a huge difference.      Feb-03-13 G Moehring vs J Kaikamdzozov, 1978    TheAlchemist: Along with O M Hindle vs G Moehring, 1964 and T Espig vs G Moehring, 1973 , this is another of Möhring's games that features a stunning winning move. In the following position [DIAGRAM] 86.Qh3!! is the only way to avoid a perpetual and is a winning move at that. I know there ...      Jan-24-13 T Todorov vs A Kovacevic, 1998    TheAlchemist: Excellent pun. Almost all of Miyazaki's catalogue is well worth the watch.      Jan-23-13 Nenad Panic    TheAlchemist: <Warning: killjoy mode activated> For the record, his surname is spelled Panić, the last letter pronounced as ch (as in chop) and "a" as in car. The name Nenad is derived from "nenadan", which means sudden, surprising, unexpected, something like that (nada=hope). ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 114 OF 114 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-18-11    brankat: Hi Uros! This in regard to todays POTD, A.Mikhalchishin. You posted on his page a while back. <TheAlchemist: This was an article written by Mikhalchishin when he turned 50. I apologize in advance for any typos and other mistakes, hopefully there won't be too many. <Part I> The Golden Chess Age - The 20th Century! Dr. Milan Vidmar wrote the brilliant book "Goldene Schachzeiten", which describes the 1920's and 30's. Vidmar, among other things, predicted a world crisis and that it would all lead to a catastrophe (which indeed happened with WWII).> etc You ended the post with: <(I have to wrap this one up, other parts coming shortly)> This was 1 year and 7 months ago. Still patiently waiting for Part II ;-) Nov-19-11    jessicafischerqueen: <Captain> thanks for dropping by with further information on the source for your <Speilmann> story, I really appreciate it. It's going to take me a long time to make a documentary film on <Spielmann> because I've ordered <Vidmar's> autobiography, which is in German so it might take six years to translate it with Google help. It's full of information, they tell me. <Branko> Jinx! on Vidmar, and thanks for posting that cracking web page on him. Great website too eh? I use that site all the time for Russky Research. Btw, if you open that site with Google Chrome, it automatically translates it for you eh? Dec-14-11    brankat: Hi there Uros! How have You been? Dec-23-11    brankat: Hello Uros, Best wishes for the Holiday season! Dec-24-11    Travis Bickle: Merry Christmas Uros! Feb-10-12    brankat: Hi Uros. You haven't been seen for a while. So, I just dropped by to say "Hello". Feb-16-12    brankat: Do You still visit Your forum from time to time? :-) Mar-09-12    brankat: No posts in 2.5 months? Jun-19-12    brankat: Now it's almost 6 :-) Feb-25-13    The Last Straw: 18 months... Feb-25-13    TheFocus: Tick tock. Tick tock. Feb-26-13    TheAlchemist:        Mar-03-13    The Last Straw: Finally! :) Mar-03-13    dakgootje: <Feb-26-13 TheAlchemist: > Hey Al Chemist, Seems like you've used the 1.5 years away from home finding the profound meaning of silence. Good for you :) Now back to the task of turning silence into gold! Mar-03-13    Travis Bickle: Professor Uros thanks for voting in The Batman vs Superman contest! How have you been? Long time no see. ; P Mar-03-13    TheAlchemist: Hehe, if I had known an empty post would cause such reception, I would have posted it before :-). Truthfully, I've been "lurking" around most of the time and following some topics, I just didn't have anything clever to add most of the time. Although thinking about it, maybe it makes me look like a bit of a voyeur or something :-) Mar-03-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <TheAlchemist: Hehe, if I had known an empty post would cause such reception, I would have posted it before :-)> You did :) jww chessforum Mar-03-13    Annie K.: But it can't be said too often! ;) Mar-05-13    The Last Straw: How do you do it? My computer always tells me to compose my comment below when I try to. Mar-05-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <The Last Straw> Join the Cult and we'll tell you :-) Mar-05-13    TheAlchemist: It's magic :-)                         Hint: type &_n_b_s_p (without the dashes - it's the html code for "non breakable space") four or five times, I'm not sure what is the minimum requirement. Mar-05-13    TheAlchemist: Or do what Switch said, either way works. Mar-05-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <TheAlchemist: I'm not sure what is the minimum requirement.> One ;-) Mar-08-13    The Last Straw:   Mar-08-13    The Last Straw: Thanks!
