Welcome to The Cirque du Boomie where the dancers will kick your teeth out and you have unlimited credit in the casino.

Feb-05-2010 - The Don said so long ago that in 5 years The Cirque would be totally legitimate. Today I see a thriving casino business and fan dancers from Yonkers. Good times!

The unexamined position is not worth playing.
Play ideas not moves.
A beautiful solution for which there is no problem.

She is an English fan.
Yes she is an English fan.
Though she may seem a bit mannish,
She would never play the Spanish.
'Cause she is an English fan.
Yes she is an English fan.
Neither Russian, French nor Catalan
'Cause she always wants to get her man.
So she is an English fan.
Yes she is an English fan.

   May-20-13 FIDE Grand Prix Thessaloniki (2013)

Boomie: -> A nice mix of players which should produce some interesting chess. Bacrot, Etienne FRA 2725 Caruana, Fabiano ITA 2774 Dominguez Perez, Leinier CUB 2723 Grischuk, Alexander RUS 2779 Ivanchuk, Vassily UKR 2755 Kamsky, Gata USA 2741 Kasimdzhanov, Rustam UZB 2699 ...

   May-18-13 jessicafischerqueen chessforum

Boomie: <Jessarooo> Sam: How's our bomb shelter coming along, Max? Max: It sags a little but see how good you look after three kids and a Y2K scare.

   May-16-13 Boomie chessforum

Boomie: <achieve> Chopin should be savored like a massage. The slower the better. However playing slow is more challenging and most pianists don't try it. Ms. Wang makes some nice choices and the character of the piece is enhanced by her treatment.

   May-14-13 Anand vs Karjakin, 2013

Boomie: <DcGentle: <iqbalianpawn>: 48. Rh1 was the blunder that could cost the victory.> Or Anand judged the resulting position after Rxc5 a draw and is fishing for something more. Obviously Anand saw the pawn grab variation.

   May-12-13 Anand vs Nakamura, 2013

Boomie: <SirRuthless: So was b4 a gamble or well planned?> 24...b4 is a blunder. White takes advantage of black's weak back rank. 25. Rd2 Nc6 26. Rxd8 Qxd8 27. g3 [DIAGRAM] Black's pawn weaknesses begin to tell. He may be able to hold it but it won't be fun.

   May-05-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)

Boomie: <John Abraham: This will also be the first meeting between Anand and Carlsen...> They have played many times. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Nothing new to them. Aside from avoiding key openings, there won't be much impact on either of them.

   May-05-13 Anand-Carlsen World Championship (2013)

Boomie: At the US Championships today, Yaz said he thought that the match site would go to the highest bidder. He was under the impression that Paris had the highest bid. This seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere which will be cleared up in the next few days. Ironically having the match ...

   May-04-13 Kaidanov vs C Holt, 2013

Boomie: Yaz called that position "The March of the Penguins". Heh.

   Apr-29-13 Alekhine Memorial (2013)

Boomie: Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't all this speculation about Carlsen belong on his page? It has no relevance to this tournament.

May-21-12		Boomie: OMG! Just went to the bookie's to collect and found that the Ananda Panda win had ballooned to 11 to 4. So I netted a cool 550 CBs. Yes, Virginia. That bulge in my pocket is genuine Chess Bucks. So back off!

May-21-12		jessicafischerqueen: That's a BIG BAZOOMBA movie?! <crawfb5> should be alerted it you're going to post highlights. Or "large lights" in this case.

May-23-12		jessicafischerqueen: If you could buy things with Chessbucks this website would get a million more views per day eh? They should apply for a gambling licence. Are there any Indians on the payroll?

May-24-12		jessicafischerqueen: I'm sensing a victory tonight for <Ringed Bandicoot>.

May-25-12		Open Defence: Im rooting for the ampersand... btw is this the first World Championships with 2 'ands' ?? there were many games with 2 'ovs' Look ma! 2 'ands!'

May-25-12		Boomie: <Deffie> They've been playing kinda funny. But then in the post game interviews, the ands justify the means.

May-27-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Adventures of TimTim> Well what do you think? Does either <Anteater> or <Goniff> have another classical win left in him? If it goes to the jello wrestling tie-breaks, do you think <Antietam> will be able to shoot down the <Good Year Blimp>?

May-27-12		Open Defence: Prince Andrey Dadian of Mingrelia

May-28-12		Boomie: <Odie> Prince Dadian vs Kolisch, 1885

May-28-12		jessicafischerqueen: <deffi> good call on <Prince Albert in a Can>, what a fascinating figure and story. Great subject for a documentary film, and members have posted great rare resources on his player page too.

May-29-12		The Big Lebowski: I think but I may be mistaken that Prince Andrey Dadian of Mingrelia was the worlds first documented Hippie.

May-30-12		Boomie: <<The Big Lebowski: I think but I may be mistaken that Prince Andrey Dadian of Mingrelia was the worlds first documented Hippie.> Then he surely belongs at The Cirque where the rule is "Shirt, Shoes, No Service." Also, a flower in the hair is required.

Jun-13-12		LoveThatJoker: <Boomie> Hi! Thank you for posting on my forum. In all honesty, I had actually looked at that article before I touched with <agb2002> so as to get some help on the matter. I did see that in that article there is a reference to a Goldbach conjecture. Note that if you google Goldberg conjecture however, there will be a couple of hits that will explicitly say "Goldberg conjecture": One of the first hits there is even a huge thesis on it! It would be awesome to have recourse to someone who is in the Pure Mathematics field so that they could elucidate on these interesting topics. Aside from that, I just checked a couple of quotes on your bio! It's awesome that you have Krishnamurti quotes there - my Dad used to be a fan of his. I read a little on him as well...a very interesting person for sure! LTJ

Jun-13-12		LoveThatJoker: <Boomie> Re: The Riemann hypothesis and the Goldberg conjecture. I sincerely appreciate you looking at this further and posting a note regarding it on my forum! Re: Krishnamurti. It is very cool that you actually were present at one of his discussions, boomie! I understand that he was an intelligent man, an erudite speaker and a man sincere about his purpose; this said, what impressed you most on that occasion that you were there? LTJ

Jun-13-12		LoveThatJoker: <Boomie> That's really cool, man! It reminds me of something the author of the book "Zen Guitar" wrote - to always approach every situation with an 'empty cup' open to every possibility and eventuality. LTJ

Jun-13-12		LoveThatJoker: <Boomie> Thanks for the link on my forum. I'll make sure to read it and get back to you here on your forum once I've done so - by tomorrow in the evening at the latest! LTJ

Jun-15-12		LoveThatJoker: <Boomie> Good morning! I am writing you this note to tell you that I will be getting back to you on our Krishnamurti conversation on Tuesday, June the 19th at the very latest. As evinced by my note to you above, I thought I was going to have the time to read it by yesterday evening and therefore get back to you on it, but I was extremely occupied by other matters for 12 hours straight! Therefore, in all honesty, by June the 19th, I will be touching base on this. Talk to you soon, LTJ

Jun-19-12		LoveThatJoker: <Boomie> I read the contents of the link you sent me. I appreciate it, man! LTJ

Jun-23-12		Open Defence: if there was a female <Bee Gees> tribute band would they be the <Bee Girls> ?

Jun-23-12		Shams: <Open Defence> My ex-girlfriend formed an all-girls tribute band called the "She Bee Gees". I'm not kidding.

Jun-23-12		Open Defence: that would actually be great for an all girl doo-whop quartet.. can you say <SHE BEE GEE BEE WAAAAAAH?>

Jun-23-12		chancho: All this talk about the Bee Gees... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVjI...

Jun-23-12		Boomie: <Open Defence: if there was a female <Bee Gees> tribute band would they be the <Bee Girls> ?> Scary. That gives me the Hee Bee Gee Bees.

Jun-23-12		Boomie: <Open Defence> Will Nerdistan be opening its borders soon? I need something that will kick like a mule. A mule perhaps?

Jun-23-12		Open Defence: if we need to kick ass then first we need to haul mule... Nerdistan wasnt getting too msny visitors and after the last stalking experience i prefer the down low
