 | | tpstar: <aw1988> Rolling Stone gathering no moss, unfortunately no wins either. Maybe he was stoned during those losses. He might have won in Stonehenge, although his 133 year career is impressive. |
|
| Mar-11-05 | | aw1988: Well, that would make him a wacked out alien dude. Of course his career is 133 years, he's a stone. Those things last long. |

see Morphy vs R Stone, 1859 for details. |

rolling Stones or like a rolling Stone |
|
| Dec-24-05 | | midknightblue: This is where the stoner fans hang out?
My favorite game was Bonin Stone |
|
| Dec-24-05 | | OneArmedScissor: <EnglishOpeningc4: Choose one:

like a rolling stone because simile > metaphor |
|
| Dec-24-05 | | midknightblue: After further review of this guys record: he has been declared "steppin stone."
p.s. Mr Stone if you are a FICS member and read this, please accept my apologies. I just couldn't pass that one up. |
|
| Dec-24-05 | | Koster: Blue, if you ever played Ray Stone you might think you were caught between a rock and a hard place. I saw him beat GM Lputian in about 30-35 moves a few years back in Detroit. My opponent and I were watching closely as our own game was following the same variation. About 12 moves into the game Lputian thought for about 20 minutes and my opponent got tired of waiting and there the games diverged. (I won also, but it took about 40 moves, and some luck.) |
|
| Dec-27-05 | | midknightblue: <Koster>I am sure I would be! Since he has nearly 7 times more losses than wins on this database, maybe you could forward his game vs Lputian to chessgames, so he could have a more representative sampling |
|
| Dec-27-05 | | Koster: I would take your suggestion, but
#1 I tried sending some Finegold games before and they kept rejecting my format (games have been since obtained elsewhere anyway).
#2 It's been many years, and all I remember is the opening, Stone-Lputian 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 a6 5. e4 b5 6. e5 Nd5 7. a4 - black's next 2 moves were Nb4 and Bf5, not sure in which order. Anyway black grabbed exchange, but white won the game. If I run into Ray again I will ask to see that game. |

| Dec-27-05 | | Resignation Trap: <midknightblue> Here are some of Ray's games which aren't listed under his own name right here on www.chessgames.com : Stone Ray vs Igor Ivanov, 1994 , Christiansen vs Stone, 1987 and Fedorowicz vs Stone, 1988 . |
|
| Dec-28-05 | | midknightblue: <Res> Thx. More comments after I finish studying some of the middlegame tactics that occured in Federowicz vs Stone, 1988. May take me a while to review all of them. |
|
| Feb-02-06 | | Resignation Trap: Raymond Giles Stone was born on December 11, 1953 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He tied for first with Igor Vasilievich Ivanov in the 1985 Canadian Closed Championship. Stone was a representative of the Canadian team at the Dubai Olympiad in 1986. That same year he was awarded the title of FIDE Master. |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | williscreek: I met Ray at the Windsor, Ontario (across the river from Detroit) chess club in the 1973-74 period. I had just got into chess following Fischer's title win. Ray was a good guy and wasn't full of himself like so many talented young players. |
|
| Feb-20-09 | | WhiteRook48: stubborn as a Stone... |
|
| Mar-09-09 | | kayakerg: I played Ray to two draws at the Croation Chess Club in Mississauga back in around 1983. We were both from Windsor, Ontario. |
|
| Jan-16-18 | | PhilFeeley: Another good Canadian player who had to give up playing to work and feed his family. Sad. |
