Jul-23-25 Biographer Bistro    jnpope: 4th CCA Congress, Handicap, Clifton (1873) Clearly, not the work of a rational mind.      Jul-22-25 1st CCA Congress, Newcastle (1870)   jnpope: I'll concede to you a B for your dogged perseverance.      Jul-22-25 Franz Muller von der Werra   jnpope: New York, 1899, court documents show a "Muller von der Werra, Fritz Armin William Victor" had legally changed his name to "Fritz Armin William Victor Muller von der Werra". This appears odd until one looks at how the other name changes are listed: 'Moskovitz, Zoltan Bela" to "Zoltan      Jul-21-25 Beaumont / Adamson / vs W Pollock, 1886   jnpope: I blame myself for not returning to double-check the repair work. Of course now I have the <power> to make the repairs... so...      Jul-21-25 J Charleton vs R Punshon, 1864   jnpope: I got the same final position, so you've got the proper rooks rooking the right ways. I'd change the score to <37...Kf6> and make a note in the PGN that the source gives 37...Kg6.      Jul-21-25 1st North Yorkshire & Durham CA, Redcar (1866)    jnpope: He must hold the record for the greatest number of withdrawals from tournaments. I wonder if was called <Rev. Skip-out> by the other players?      Jul-19-25 Lasker vs H Pardee, 1893   jnpope: Yes he does (his game #151), and he cites the <St. James's Budget>, so he had access to that title.      Jul-11-25 NN vs Steinitz, 1863    jnpope: I'm nearly certain all of the mistaken identifications originate with Bachmann (and yes, I have multiple editions of Bachmann). If anyone uses Bachmann, v1, 1910, then they will identify the game as being played by Blackburne. Of course Bachmann didn't bother giving his sources, so I      Jul-09-25 S R Dill    jnpope: <...he was a bachelor> So Annie B. Dill wasn't his wife. Perhaps they were related in some other way, a sister-in-law, a cousin, or was it just a coincidence that they worked out of the same building (i.e. was it the "Irish district" in Brooklyn at the time?).      Jul-09-25 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    jnpope: Jill Schoelen (DC Cab)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 15 OF 15 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-09-24    jnpope: Another successful journey concluded. I left yesterday at 7.38am and arrived back home at 11.51pm. 1,233 miles in a little over 16 hours (only two brief stops to refuel). https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nok... For comparison: https://maps.app.goo.gl/whSeczftifP... Dec-09-24    stone free or die: Might I ask, did you drive by yourself for sixteen hours straight? If so you're a certifiable maniac. That's Carlsen level grinding! (Entertaining comparison, though there you'd at least have the reward of a nice glass of Highland Park!) Dec-09-24    jnpope: Yes. Solo drive non-stop. Dec-10-24    stone free or die: That's averaging about 76 mph isn't it? Just curious do you have a radar/ladar detector? And do actually ever go to Lions' games? . Dec-10-24    jnpope: No detection device. I use the FIT method (traveling the speed of the Fastest Indigenous Traffic in each state). I figure they know where all the speed traps are (I also have Waze on my phone). The closest I've come to Ford Field is Comerica Park (I do attend Tigers games). But I have an open invite (first refusal) to home games from a sports junkie friend. Dec-11-24    stone free or die: Never knew that technique (ie FIT) had a name. I might have called it the left-lane-blend-in. Dec-16-24    jnpope: Richard Fenton R. F. Fenton, formerly of Swansea, according to the Cardiff <Weekly Mail> Dec-29-24    jnpope: Rudolf Czaikowsky Dec-31-24    jnpope: Lowenthal in the Bohn edition (pp.405-413) and Segeant (pp.315-319) give these 6 games as being played by the same Amateur: 1 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 2 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 3 Morphy vs NN, 1857 4 Morphy vs J McConnell, 1858 5 Morphy vs NN, 1857 6 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 Dec-31-24    jnpope: These 6 games are not given as being played by the same amateur Appleton edition (pp.439-450). Jan-28-25    jnpope: http://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers... Looks like his column started on 1914.11.22 an ran until 1923.04.13 (at least). Jan-28-25    stone free or die: When did his column run? (Weekly? What day?) Could someone provide a direct link to one of his columns so I could see how Google's toolset does with Yiddish? (It's so close to German that I think it should be ok, but I only have the vague-ish memories of encountering that language in a chess column before) Jan-29-25    jnpope: It appears to have been weekly. The day it appeared changed over the years. Here's a link to the first column as a pdf download (page 8 of the 22 November 1914 issue). https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspaper... Apr-16-25    BarakSaltz: The Cedar Rapids magazine "The Pawn" (1910-1911) is available on Hathitrust. https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco... Apr-16-25    jnpope: Thanks!

May-29-25    jnpope: Biographer Bistro Jun-05-25    Stonehenge: I've uploaded some games by Hercule Goudjou. Mostly from https://www.arhisah.ro/wp-content/u... and one from http://heritageechecsfra.free.fr/18.... Not sure what this is: Paris (1881).
