| | WannaBe: Since I can't post on <LifeMaster AJ>'s forum, I'll post it here for <Jim Bartle>: < Jim Bartle: "A problem a day, keeps the Alzheimers away!" Why didn't someone tell me that ten years ago?> I tried, but I forgot.
Ya know, for as often as I have helped <AJ> with his computer problems and I've even defended him once or twice, I am on his ignore list. Actually, you know what?! I am honoured!! He doesn't get to read any of my (computer) helps, and the funny tit-for-tat that <technical draw> and I posts. |

| | technical draw: And Hopalong is always on the outside and never wins. You hear it in every race narration, "Hopalong the outside..." (this is a true fact joke as one guy I knew actually thought there was a horse named Hopalong) |

| | WannaBe: "On the Rail" never wins either. =(
But I always bet on the ambulance to come in last, the people at the window never give me my ticket. |

| | technical draw: <(this is a true fact joke as one guy I knew actually thought there was a horse named Hopalong)> Now I remember correctly; he thought there was a horse named "Apolonia". |

| | BadKnight: <SwitchingQuylthulg> Thanks for the comment. I did not even consider any move like this in the position. i was simply scared to create any outside passed pawn as then bishop might be faster than the knight creating trouble. it looked white can not allow the knight to d4 as then he is doomed, but i did not see how to force it. now i just had a quick engine check, and Massive complications arise after 44...g5 and Mr. Houdini says black is slightly better. Sliding through the engine lines, it feels like i had chances. But there was no way i could have calculated any of these, so i chickened out. I realized i had an easy draw without doing anything so i just waited and the result was a draw. |

 | | chesstoplay: Hi < WannaBe >,
Do you know who Stan Lee was playing chess against at the end of the Avenger's movie? He looked familiar, but I couldn't place the face.
I've put the question out there in several places and can't come up with an answer. Hope you can help.
TY in advance!

| | BadKnight: Here goes an open question to anyone experienced in correspondence games. I have found openings to be huge problems. Its not easy to get a reasonably fighting game. I am not very well versed in opening theory, and i don't want to come out of the opening with a clearly inferior/lost position, so i would have to find reasonably good moves. and that leads us to follow databases very deep into late into the late middlegame, and clearly we are not thinking on our own until very late. Surprise/trick moves are not likely to work because opponent has enough time to work them out. So the main idea is either deviate early from the mainline and enter completely new type of positions, or find novelty in well trodden lines, or enter uncharted territories. In any case, its easier said than done. So the obvisous question is, how to get a game? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
