Commander John J Adams : " Morbius, what is the Id? "
Dr Edward Morbius : " It's an obsolete term. I'm afraid once used to describe the elementary basis of the subconscious mind. "
Hi, I'm Paul Morten and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been playing Chess for over thirty years (and still haven't got it right yet). My father ( Peter Morten ) taught me the moves when I was aged about ten. (He's now a venerable 83-year old).
I didn't really get "Chess Fever" until the Fischer-Spassky match in Iceland in 1972. My first chess heroes were Spassky, Fischer, Marshall, Alyekhin and Capablanca but with more maturity I'm much more appreciative of Lasker, Chigorin, Niemzowitsch, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Keres, Nezhmetdinov, Petrosian, Kasparov and many others. Collecting chess books since 1972 I now possess a chess library I'm sure any club would be proud of. Many game submissions to the database have been made from these books. Up to 25th June 2012 submissions number 4,416 games (this total will continue to grow with time).
I'm fascinated by Chess History and the players who make it so what follows is a large list of important tournaments played in the 19th and 20th Centuries. These collections have been compiled by a number of members of chessgames.com and I'm extremely grateful to them and thank them for their efforts.

Something of note for future kibitzers
<chessgames.com> <IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT>
<As most devoted Chessgames members know, the Kibitzing areas of Chessgames--like any large internet forum--have had their share of flame wars. Vitriolic exchanges fly back and forth between people who scarcely know each other. Lately, one of them in particular has become very visible, spilling onto pages of all sorts of classic games. This longstanding problem has now proliferated to the extent that nearly every Chessgames member has been exposed to it.
Lately, the Chessgames.com admins have had a flood of complaints, and as a result they've deleted many messages. We decided to start to keep score, and determine exactly which members are the cause of most of our disturbances. Not surprisingly, we found that the same names crop up again and again.
Now we're prepared to take extraordinary measures to try to stamp out this flame war: we have now placed a number of members on kibitzing probation. All of these individuals have been identified as the main participants of this flame war.
There are seven of them (at current count) and all been placed on kibitzing probation for one week, in what we call a "cooling off period". They are as follows: <Colonel Mortimer>, <JoergWalter>, <LIFE Master AJ>, <Nemesistic>, <Robed.Bishop>, <SimonWebbsTiger>, and <TheFocus>.
We hope that when this week is over, some degree of civility is restored.
The primary rule broken by all of these individuals is rule 3, "No personal attacks against other users", the rule tailor-made to discourage flame wars. However, many of the deleted posts were also guilty of rule 1 (obscenity) and rule 3 (spamming/duplicating posts). We are not going to address the infractions on a post-by-post basis, but if you are earnestly confused at our posting policies, contact us at chesschessgames.com, and we'll be happy to clarify your question.
During this cooling off period, our admins will continue to clean up some of the mess created during the past few months. However, they aren't going to try to bail water out of a leaking boat. If any antagonist tries to revive the flame war during this period, he or she will be placed on kibitzing probation without compunction.
We know that some people will have many more questions, so a list of notes is compiled below. Other questions are best addressed directly to chesschessgames.com.
• The following individuals were not placed on the list in spite of identified posting violations. They are instead hereby issued warnings: <King Death>, <KKDEREK>, <Rob Lob Law>, and <theagenbiteofinwit>.
• The "cooling off period" extends from 12:00am midnight, Monday, February 27 to 12:00am midnight, Monday, March 5.
• This list is not perfect. There may be one or two people on it who don't deserve to be there. Meanwhile, there are surely people who deserve to be on it, yet aren't mentioned. So it goes.
• If you are on probation and want to communicate to an administrator for any reason, contact chesschessgames.com. Do NOT create an alternate account for any reason whatsoever.
• If you are on probation and feel a great need to voice your opinion about this matter in public, you have only two sanctioned methods: 1. Post something on your "bio" area, so that people can read it if they choose to pull up your profile page. 2. wait a week.
• If any member attempts to subvert this one week cooling off period by registering a second "sockpuppet" account, or using a sockpuppet account already established, they will be subject to an extended (if not indefinite) probation.

Finally, let us remind everybody that the purpose of this action is not to single out specific members, nor to "make an example" of out anybody, but rather to restore civility and decency to the forums. Please help us accomplish that goal by contributing to a peaceful Chessgames, in whatever way you are inclined.>

Benzol: I've said elsewhere that I thought Botvinnik was a sly old fox. The literary style of "Achieving the Aim" perhaps isn't the easiest but it is interesting in its content. If you get the chance to read it I urge you to do so. I suppose the achievements Botvinnik referred to were his ...

Monsters From The Id

< Earlier Kibitzing · PAGE 65 OF 74 · Later Kibitzing>
Sep-26-11		chancho: <Benzol> You're absolutely right about what is going on in this site. I'm of the opinon that the Admins will eventually take action to stop the nonsense.

Sep-26-11		technical draw: <Richard Taylor> <Correction, about 4 years younger. But still no excuse!!> I thought you were going to correct his name!

Oct-03-11		Benzol: Fellow posters beware, the Monsters have returned.

Oct-03-11		jessicafischerqueen: My dear <Benzol> you can't imagine how happy I am to see you open again for business. You couldn't very well leave all of <Richard's> many posts and tournament updates buried in limbo. Up, New Zealand! Up, Kiwi!

Oct-03-11		Benzol: The Rugby World Cup has now been narrowed down to eight teams that will meet in the quarter-finals next weekend. Wales face Ireland, Australia play South Africa, England are up against France whilst Argentina are up against New Zealand. My picks : Ireland over Wales South Africa to beat Australia England vs France is hard to pick as both teams haven't performed particularly well but I think the Pommies can win this. New Zealand to beat The Pumas. Well I have to say that don't I. Anyway four teams will drop out after next Sunday. South Africa, Australia and New Zealand all have lost key players to injury. I'm hoping the All Blacks make the final but this is by no means certain.

Oct-03-11		jessicafischerqueen: <Benzol> did you know there is a legendary Cricket Star named <Pommie Bastard>? It's true, <hitman> posted his bio for me four years ago. QUESTION: Do Rugby fans regard Cricket to be "soft"?

Oct-03-11		Benzol: <QUESTION: Do Rugby fans regard Cricket to be "soft"?> In my opinion no. There have been a number of "Double All Black" players who have represented New Zealand in both Rugby and Cricket. Brian McKecnie is one example I can think of. He was involved in "the famous" underarm incident in Australia. <Pommie Bastard>. There was a TV series called "Bodyline" which was about the 1937 Ashes Cricket series between Australia and England IIRC. One scene I really enjoyed concerned the English captain taking exception to being called "A Bastard" by one of the Australian players and complained to the Australian captain. The Australian captain took him along to the Australian dressing room and asked "Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard"? Hugo Weaving was one of the actors in this series.

Oct-03-11		jessicafischerqueen: ahhhhhhhhhhhhAHAHAHAHAAH "which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?" AHHHHHHH

Oct-03-11		jessicafischerqueen: Flying Fox, Capricornia

Oct-03-11		Benzol: http://www.abc.net.au/news/video/20...

Oct-06-11		twinlark: Thanks for your kind words, and I'm truly glad you didn't leave.

Oct-06-11		nescio: <Benzol> While refreshing my memory of the game Boleslavsky vs L Steiner, 1948 I was surprised to see that there was no collection of that tournament. Normally I would mention this and leave it to others to repair the omission but there were no less than 190 games involved and I decided to do it myself for once. As always I was continually distracted by the games themselves and therefore it took a long time, but I think Game Collection: 1948 Saltsjöbaden interzonal deserves a place in your list above.

Oct-07-11		Richard Taylor: <technical draw: <Richard Taylor> <Correction, about 4 years younger. But still no excuse!!> I thought you were going to correct his name!> Yeah, younger, but (everyone?) calls him Garbage (not meant to be hurtful) but he is a really nice fellow and a good chess player.

Oct-07-11		Richard Taylor: I recall the "underarm incident" it got myself and my wife at the time watching cricket as there was such fuss in the news and even PM Muldoon got involved. Those were the days of (inter alia) Hadley, Chatfield, Smith, Lance Cairns and Snedden. Snedden is now organising the Rugby World Cup.

Oct-07-11		Benzol: <Snedden is now organising the Rugby World Cup.> Yes and Smith is commentating too. <Richard> If you feel you're not getting enough on the Wesley So page check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_M...! The title doesn't mention goats but don't let that worry you. It has the sockpuppet Ed and certain episodes feature Filipino actor Weng Weng. That should keep you going for a while. :)

Oct-07-11		nescio: <Rugby World Cup> When is the next round planned? I may become a fan of rugby.:) Ever since I visited a hurling match in Ireland I thought I'd seen the fastest and roughest team game on the planet, but I'm not sure anymore.

Oct-07-11		Benzol: <nescio> The next games are the quarter-finals to be played tonight in a few hours time. France are playing England here in Auckland at Eden Park. The other game is taking place in Wellington, Ireland versus Wales. Should be a pair of humdinger games. Whoever loses goes home with the winners heading to the semi-finals. The other quarter-final matches are played tomorrow at the same venues. The All Blacks play Argentina and South Africa play Australia.

Oct-08-11		nescio: <Benzol> Thanks. I'll probably be asleep during the games today, but tomorrow I'll watch New Zealand-Argentina while breakfasting. Is there a section with European teams and one with non-European or is that separation a coincidence?

Oct-08-11		Richard Taylor: France won - fast game by them esp. in the first half. NZ cant be sure they will beat Argentina Sunday (tomorrow). Like chess you cant take notice of "ratings"...

Oct-08-11		Richard Taylor: <Benzol> Are the Wesley fans going mad? I haven't looked on there for some time. I think So is a good player but only so so!! Luke Li is the young fellow who is my Bette noir! (Right spelling?) He won H-Pak CCs with 9 from 9 But I ma not sure re the ACC Champs. He has a chance. I've missed lot of games as I still haven't got my car going... But good to see you are still here after your 'Ivanchuk'! (He is doing well lately I see).

Oct-08-11		Benzol: <nescio> The way the teams have played and scored it worked by coincidence. I thought Ireland would beat Wales but the Welsh have proved me wrong. They won 22 - 10 against the Irish. France must have been stung by the successive defeats from New Zealand and Tonga. They came out firing against England and were 16 - 0 up at halftime. England won the second half scoring 12 points to 3 but with the final score as 19 - 12 France were the team that celebrated at the end. We now know that Wales and France will be in one semi-final but the other one has yet to be determined. The All Blacks should beat The Pumas but Australia vs South Africa is harder to calculate. If the All Blacks win their semi-final their opponent will be a tough one. I heard Graham Henry saying on the radio that he hoped the Wallabies and the Springboks knock seven bells out of one another. <Richard> The So page has been riddled with sockpuppets and more vitriol than I've seen in some time. It has even spewed over into the <CG> chessforum page. The tone of the whole So thread I find actually quite dark and disturbing. The Admins had been asked to do something about it and have finally deleted a number of the excessive posts. I was seriously considering leaving the site because of it and closed my forum in protest.

Oct-09-11		Benzol: The Wallabies have just beaten the Springboks 11 - 9 to book their place in the semi-finals. Both sides played very well but good on the Aussies. The next question is who will face them, the All Blacks or the Pumas. The answer will be known at the end of the next game which starts in about 30 minutes. Go the ABs!

Oct-09-11		twinlark: Well done, the All Blacks. I have a feeling this may be their year even without Carter...still garn' the Wallabies! (You never know)

Oct-09-11		Benzol: The ABs did the business but it was far from a convincing performance. The score belies the actual course of the game. Argentinian supporters take your hats off to your national rugby team. They played with heart and fire. :)
